I reached a bipartisan agreement with the man who robbed my house. I only gave half of my belongings, staving off certain financial ruin had he taken my entire house.

[Mo Weeks @mo87mo87]

IMO, I'd be careful not to be so flippant about the statement.

He's running to be commander and chief and it's best to treat his pledge not as a politician's promise but instead as a military directive.

He'd do everything in his power to achieve it. As POTUS, that's a lot.

Work requirements for these benefits do not work. This is not an issue of politics, it is studied and settled fact. They just don't work. It's bad and evil policy making with no justification beyond classism and racism.

I did an interview about the Chicago election. TL;DR @PaulVallas’s pattern of skipping payments ultimately led to $1.5 billion in interest on payday loans and set the stage for a $10 billion pension shortfall. #BrandonIsBetter

Fun fact: As an organizer whose had thousands of conversations w/ people in tiny rural towns, in the burbs, in our biggest cities, I’ve actually never heard anyone say - you know what I really care about? Bipartisanship!

BREAKING: we, staffers of the US Congress, are peacefully sitting in on Senator Schumer’s office to demand Dems pass climate justice policy this year.

We are putting our bodies on the line because we have no other choice. Follow along for updates from inside!

“ The fluidity with which rights can be bequeathed and taken away, in fact, reduces rights to privileges. In a truly democratic society, civil rights should not be contingent on a fortuitous combination of Supreme Court Justices.” https://t.co/dQeFK99ATz

A reminder that Biden ran on canceling *all* your federal student debt if you went to an HBCU or public college and make under $125k. That was the campaign trail.

It's not a question whether police prevent horrible things like this. There are literally whole city case studies that empirically show they don't.

I can promise you that amazon banning these words/phrases from their company chat app just radicalized a bunch of workers who were on the fence about needing a union lmao

[Sara Nelson @FlyingWithSara]

This is what it feels like when you organize your union. Get you some. Start today.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

For those keeping score, when asylum seekers are European, politicians quickly recognize them as refugees. When they’re from elsewhere, the same folks call them “undocumented.”

Remember: seeking asylum is a legal right for ALL people, despite their prejudice. The more you know💫

THREAD: There’s a lot of talk right now about crime in San Francisco. Almost everything you’ll read in the mainstream press is wrong. I live in the Tenderloin and work in the courts every day. Here’s my take on what’s happening and why.

[shandra @Shandra_BP]

@mo87mo87 Just an outrageously long troll🧵 , not sure whether to be impressed or concerned 😂

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

My State of the Union fit.

18,000. That's how many people whose clemency petitions are sitting in a backlog, waiting for @POTUS's review.

Justice delayed is justice denied. President Biden, we’re urging you: start granting clemency now.

[Jeremiah Bey Ellison @jeremiah__bey]

North High School students occupy the rotunda at Minneapolis City Hall—many community members have joined in with them.

It’s a powerful moment. The poise and courage these moments demand from our young people is quite unfair. But they always rise to it.
