As a DNC delegate, I was incredibly disappointed + troubled to find out @JulianCastro wasn't invited to speak at the DNC this year -- esp. given that he was the only Latinx presidential candidate in the primary and brought attention to so many critical issues. However... (thread)
Fort Lauderdale airport is completely underwater and the El Nino system hasn't even hit yet. From what I've seen the fascist Ron DeSantis isn't even in the state. "Where's Ron" is trending because he's more worried about running for office.
With all the republican lies circulating these days I just wanted to remind everyone the longest serving republican House Speaker in history went to prison for abusing children.
Resurrection is a promised prophecy to a persecuted people! So do not grow weary amidst persecution for speaking out against policy that continues to perpetuate gun violence, or poverty, or environmental injustice. You can be assured that resurrection and restoration is coming!
@nicninh@jadler1969 Shew... I was worried there for a moment that a justice who's wife helped organize an insurrection and sent texts urging people to file litigation that would end up before him might've done something to raise an eyebrow.
It’s De La Soul day - the first time you can stream the legendary group’s best albums. I talked to Reservoir Media CEO Golnar Khosrowshahi about the $100 million bet she made to make it happen. https://t.co/ROvKa6iwYB
I work every day to bring down health care costs, and I've called on leaders to do the same.
This is what I'm talking about: This bipartisan deal would expand Medicaid to hundreds of thousands of people.
That'll be 40 states who've expanded. 10 more to go.
he problem is not that Wray, a Trump appointee, is showing favoritism to a Democratic administration. It’s that he is not doing his job when it comes to threats from right-wing authoritarianism.

20 February 1923 | A Polish Jewish woman, Sara Auszenkier, was born in Łódź. During the war she lived in Paris.
In July 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.
Since @jk_rowling keeps using the UK's ridiculous libel laws to sue Brits into apologizing for calling her out let me use my US privilege to say:
Jo, you are a disgusting bigot. Your hate has led directly to young trans deaths and will continue to do so until you shut the fuck up
Let us not forget that in the months leading up to the 2022 midterm elections, Ron DeSantis participated in humiliating and harmful publicity stunts to roll out restrictive election laws, which disproportionately disenfranchised Black voters. https://t.co/kf088k65CL
6 February 1942 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Levie Swart, was born in Amsterdam.
In August 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and, after selection, murdered in a gas chamber. His elder sister, Frouwke was killed with him.
@DavidMDrucker@JoeBiden@RepDustyJohnson@thedispatch Weird, you supported a clean resolution 3 times under the last administration despite that admin adding 28% of our debt in just 4 years. I am old enough to remember that when the GOP claims to care about a balanced budget, it means a Democrat is in the WH.
@TizzyEnt@saintlouismayor Mayor Jones you need to reach out to @SLMPD and find out why they are doing nothing about Judy Kline & her constant harassment of this family.
@loscharlos Long Covid is still very much a concern, and I do think the Biden administration is making an unforced error in ending the emergency this summer. I understand that eventually we have to move past covid, but we need reliable treatments for long covid first.
Florida teachers are being instructed to wrap their books in plain paper to conceal the titles because displaying the wrong book could result in a third degree felony indictment.
1984 has become a reality in 2023.
We’ve come too far to let MAGA Republicans cut Social Security, cut taxes for billionaires, or impose a 30% national sales tax.
If any of these bills somehow pass, I will veto them.
"School choice" is code for re-segregation.
Parents who want to send their kids to religious and mostly-white schools steal from tax payers to subsidize their bigotry.
No public funding for non-public schools.

The reason we didn’t cap insulin at $35 for all Americans is because republicans blocked it. Republicans told millions of Americans to drop dead. Here are their names.
