With all the legal and cultural obstacles, what can we do to keep up the fight to integrate K12 schools? In my piece, published (my first time!) by @AIRInforms, I propose an outside-the-box answer: reward schools that resemble their diverse neighborhoods.

Thread: (1/9) I've been in Dem politics for 14 yrs. I'm incredibly frustrated & disappointed at the lack of bold leadership, esp. when our hopes were so high after reclaiming the WH in 2020. I am angry. Most of my friends are furious.

This is ground Democrats should fight on. It's gun violence, not crime, stupid.

[Avalanche Insights @AskAvalanche]

In December, we listened to 10,000 Americans in battleground states to understand their internalized narratives on gun violence and crime. In this moment, Democrats should not hold back. Here’s how we know:

Smart strategists want to know why the facts on Build Back Better & the economy aren't compelling to voters. It's because we're not communicating them as part of a larger story. We're making intellectual arguments against what people are *feeling.* That is a losing strategy.

Missed opportunity...This should have been: "1) This is not perfect, but most Republican leaders are beholden to corps. 2) Here is what it DOES do, for YOU, this year. 3) Here's what it will do in the future and what we can do together if you stick with us." 10 min speech.

Not okay boomers. We need to include generational equity in the broader discussion of equity. Especially with #boomers still in charge. Denser but worth it. https://t.co/cc5lFmEKm5

Agreed: "Just once, I’d like to hear a mayor, governor or president say: 'Yes, I’m in charge — and I’ve been trying to get here for my entire life. I want you to judge me by how I’ve used that position, not by who I am.'" https://t.co/enM4q9GqwW

Third grade *math* test scores are a stronger predictor of high school graduation than reading scores. Evidence that, contrary to conventional wisdom, 3rd grade reading is not a uniquely important benchmark. https://t.co/Du7N03vLxC

Very important imo

There’s a new trend that you see everywhere in progressive writing and in democratic politics: describing every race-blind proposal as an initiative to advance racial equity. This framing is technically correct, but I think it's bad politics. Here's why: https://t.co/8UBKBZd1R7
