@isaroconnor stepped up to lead our Blue Carpet, pairing dozens and dozens of Dems and content creators in a first-of-its-kind opportunity that was the BUZZ of the week. That was on top of everything else she did to keep all the trains running on time for the surrogates team.
NEW: Full statement out from Democratic National Convention Chair Minyon Moore on President Biden's announcement and the work ahead for the @DemConvention team.

The @DemConvention comms team is growing! Chicago is ready for @norakatekeefe, @emilymsoong, @h__wint, and Isa.
We’ll have a team of all-stars (with many Midwestern roots!) who are going to help tell the story of our president and party to the American people.
Today, the workers of @precisionstrat are proud to announce that we have taken action to unionize with @CWAUnion. We’re calling on company leadership to recognize our union without delay and to join the 200-year history of workers’ rights through union representation!

I'll have more details this afternoon.
This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.
My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻

To our East High School students and staff: even though there are no classes tomorrow please know that our grief counselors will be at school tomorrow and all week long to support you after today’s tragic event.
In times I have experienced grief, Joan Didion's words helped me understand what I was going through: “Grief is different. Grief has no distance. Grief comes in waves, paroxysms, sudden apprehensions that weaken the knees and blind the eyes and obliterate the dailiness of life.”
My brother died from depression. He also frequently exercised, had supportive friends/family, was successful in school & in work. He had goals that he was constantly reaching- he still killed himself. People who are depressed are not weak minded- they are sick. Understand this.
