RIP Bisket Parra, featured in the video below. My story in TNR details how Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson may have shielded his grandson from the police investigation of Bisket's murder: https://t.co/mqnZePnUVk

"We say Kafkaesque too often. But that is some Kafkaesque shit that happened to me." –Carter J. Carter, an adjunct professor @ UPenn who was effectively fired for teaching about the plight of a Palestinian father. From my new article in @newrepublic 👇 https://t.co/t9sPla3Ld0

For @NYMag I wrote about turmoil inside the ACLU. According to a source, when he warned leadership that the org was running afoul of its nonpartisan mission, Anthony Romero said, 'Get on board or get out of the way. This is not your grandfather's ACLU.' 👇https://t.co/mYpy5XkiOX

Wow. Just got called a dirt bag and a low T soy boy on Twitter for publishing a sober analysis of Kamala’s efforts to reduce migration from Central America. Feels like I’ve finally arrived as a journalist.

[Jordan Heller @jordhell]

Kamala's record addressing root causes of migration from Central America is actually good. She should use it on the campaign trail. My new story in @newrepublic

"Bush was talking, saying he would have a dinner with Maliki after the press conference. And I said to myself, 'I have a good dinner for you. You’ll eat my shoe!'"

For @nymag, I got inside the head of the man who 15 years ago today threw his shoes @ Bush. https://t.co/v3glv8DQOs

Love it when I can combine my passion for baseball with the policy wonk in me. I wrote about how the Temporary Family Visitation Act could be a sea change both for foreign-born MLB players and the reformation of our deeply flawed immigration system.

Excited for this oral history on the 1999 WTO protests.

Message to @Phillies: Win tonight for the city of Philadelphia. Also, win tonight so that my op-ed on an immigration bill, which is pegged to Jose Alvarado pitching in the World Series, can still be published. #Phillies 🙏

[Jordan Heller @jordhell]

I wrote about how unelected government officials effectively obstructed Congress on an #immigration bill. Said @RepScottPeters: "I'm not sure the State Dept. sees it the same way as our citizens do." Said a staffer: "Our constituents are pissed." https://t.co/T9V1FGU903

@PeterMoskos @chrislhayes Peter “Scoop” Moskos over here.

@brettmandel This gives me visions of Alec Bohm expressing frustration with the city after hearing the crowd boo him for a 3-error game.

Great analysis on the failure of the progressive movement in the Philly mayoral election.

[Ernest Owens @MrErnestOwens]

THREAD: As the dust begin to settle, and people begin to truly accept the reality of the results -- it's become clear that White Progressives (and their apologists) were the real problem.

They went from being Bernie Bros rooting for Helen Gym into Karens whining -- here's why.

My latest: an inside look at how an immigrant farm labor bill failed in the U.S. Senate. It details how @FarmBureau and @MikeCrapo went against the wishes of everyday farmers, resulting in crops rotting in the fields and higher prices at the grocery store. https://t.co/J4NJ0xH70K

@PeterMoskos The view is you
