@Ready4AOC is there a public tracker for number of commitments?

does anyone know if a DC ballot initiative could feasibly make the city divest from israeli apartheid? i know they've done fossil-fuels divestment, but would something like a weapons-free policy be possible?

Yeah, cause that is transphobic, you fucking moron

@petersterne might be that. remember they had a distinct logo and acronym ... think they don't exist anymore, grrrrr

@petersterne some time ago you posted (or maybe reposted) a sheet of AOC's 2018 endorsements ... one was like this doctors group for medicare4all? do you remember what it was called?

@RefrmDemocracy how would this function any differently from congressional progressives?

“I’m a socialist except I believe in unelected federal positions, the use of indefinite bondage and coerced labor, the necessity of violence along the southern border, and an anti-democratic institution originally designed to protect slavery”

Reminder that Democrats never win by convincing Republicans to vote for them, they win by convincing people who aren’t usually politically active to get politically active.

We are very thrilled to announce that Ferguson Political Prisoner, Josh Williams, has come home today! This has been a long 11 years being held captive by the state and we are so thankful that he’s finally out and back into community where he belongs.

WELCOME HOME JOSH!!!!

Recuerdo principio de los 2000 cuando internet no fluía y no tenía un mango le mandé un mail a los https://t.co/3D0nV6U8hW y me mandaron por correo gratis un CD que contenía casi todo su sitio...Todavía lo conservo. Por el desgaste, creo que ya no puede ser leído

In some non-election news, @The51st and @streetsensedc published a story we’ve been working on for months about an issue in D.C. that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: evictions.

In 2025, 2,420 households were evicted — the highest number in more than a decade. (thread)

Tisch’s “public safety” strategy: Go to most disinvested areas, ticket people for being poor. When they can’t pay fines, issue warrants. Then say, “Look we’re catching all these dangerous criminals with arrest warrants.” This is broken windows policing.

they are arresting people for WKUK bits in Britain

@woodsoffin Meanwhile the left isn’t pushing for censure or disendoesement over every little thing. “What do we actually want to do with these offices and how do they interface with movement spaces writ large” is a much more interesting question

really helpful model with such bangers like "its progressivism to worsen city services and be bad for students." hey, i can appreciate the blatantness

Today Capital Commonsense launches a
needle. Our next mayor Janeese Lewis George can take the path of Zohran Mamdani or Brandon Johnson—progressive pragmatist or true believer. Our model will seek to evaluate in a rigorous way how she’s governing. https://t.co/jBEVmRkNBM

Jill, the party is led by a guy that quotes George Wallace to praise Israel and another who uses his imaginary friends as an excuse to not give people healthcare. They’re going to disappoint people because that’s what they do. Do you want power or just to endlessly praise it?
