NOW: Our first grassroots canvasses are underway at eight different locations across NYC. So grateful to everyone braving the cold to talk to our neighbors. We’re going to knock one million doors by the June primary and win a city where working people can live with dignity. @socialists.nyc

If you’re a lawyer, and you find yourself using the phrase “Your Honor’s daughter” in a brief, you have fucked up on a level most weren’t even aware was possible.

ICYMI - I joined a few hundred friends in the largest act of interfaith civil disobedience demanding a #CeasefireNOW since the crisis in Gaza just began. Multifaith, multiracial, multigenerational Philadelphians have gathered to say stop the genocide of Palestinians — Ceasefire now! #LetGazaLive

I learned so much at this panel - like Philly schools are combining classes and moving teachers in early (mid?) October. And there are basically no school libraries. Really confirming that when you think you know what’s going on, it’s probably worse.

Yesterday, I was honored to join Councilmember Kendra Brooks and Superintendent Matt Przyawara to discuss Education Equity and Pennsylvania’s school funding system. Thanks to @laurabucci.bsky.social for the invitation, Brittany Bronson for moderating and the SJU students for asking great questions.

Congregants from Dor Hadash who shared the Tree of Life synagogue led a years-long campaign pleading for ‘justice tempered by mercy.’ Jewish tradition weighs heavily against the use of the death penalty. This judgement heightens the tragedy.

I helped to plan two back-to-back press conferences and had unrelated tough conversations this week. I was asked how I plan to take care of myself and now I’m making myself ribs.

If you live in Philly or know someone who does, make sure to get out the vote for Helen Gym for Mayor THIS TUESDAY 🗳️ Philly voters can find their polling place here: https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/Pages/PollingPlaceInfo.aspx

@aoc.bsky.social on why Helen Gym is the pro-public-safety candidate for Philadelphia mayor, from her speech given right now.

Philly folks, it's your responsibility to make New Yorkers ragefully jealous of your fantastic new mayor by voting for Helen Gym on Tuesday. You can personally upset me by joining Boston as another major East coast city with an incredible progressive Asian woman mayor (that I do not live in)

Twitter used to routinely challenge Turkey’s takedown requests Erdogan actually had Twitter banned in Turkey in 2014 for refusing to comply. (the courts later ended the ban.) but that was on the “censorship” version of Twitter, not this new “free speech” one

Last night I met someone who said that they never vote in federal elections because only local elections really matter. They didn’t realize that the election for the next Mayor of Philadelphia is this Tuesday.

I searched for “duck memes” on Twitter and navigated to a sleepy duck video. When it was over I got a barrage of heroically edited Trump and Cruz clips. So yeah, the end is near.

Fun fact: directors guild of America negotiations start today, and their contract expires 6/30. SAG-AFTRA’s contract also expires 6/30. So Hollywood could really, fully shut down real soon.
