Fulbright has been supporting smart US citizens to go share knowledge in other countries, and take smart people from everywhere into US since 1945. The soft power it provides America is unbelievable. It’s an absolutely wild thing for Trump to jeopardise.

Engaging the base is how you persuade the middle. When you have a left flank carrying what isn't yet a "popular" position, you move people toward you by making it seem more and more the norm.

I’m not telling anyone how to protest but I am saying the optics of the police and marines being violent against protestors decked out in red white and blue waving American flags would be undeniably bad…

Yes. In fact, a U.S. Marine is legally obligated to refuse illegal orders. That said, there's a difference between an illegal order and a lawful order that is morally ambiguous at best.

We love immigrants. They are family members. They are our community. They work hard. Bourdain knew the fallout to restaurants if they were ripped from us. Sadly, this Administration has learned nothing. They’re goal is a white country. The more they accomplish that, the more our country will fail.

🚨 🚨 Trump has long made clear that he wants to deploy the American military into what he perceives as Democratic cities. On the campaign trail, Trump said he would “unilaterally send troops into Democratic-run cities.” 1/

I’ve really been enjoying writing on these #PostcardsToVoters designed by @juliehampton20.bsky.social. I’m reminding Florida Democrats to enroll in Vote By Mail, because I think they then will be more likely to vote. Write with us: PostcardsToVoters.org

#PostcardsToVoters for Karen Gaddis, June 2017. That narrow victory was wind in our sails! 🌬️💨 Early use of stickers and the phrase "Your Vote Is Your Super Power" (before it was monetized in the postcard movement 😉. That's ok. Ideas - and puns - are meant to be shared) #CreativeForTheWin #Craftivism

A 14-year-old boy was shot and killed in Florida last week when a group of teens was filming a video with multiple guns and one discharged, but you might not have heard about it because it’s the sort of thing that happens every single day in America. It’s long past time we did something about that.

I have never seen any example of the left "hating" young men that doesn't distill to "refusal to coddle them/insistence on treating them like adults with agency."

DOH is no longer a fact and science based entity. As per @washingtonpost.com “Gun violence, the leading cause of death for children and teens in 2020 and 2021 according to the CDC, is not mentioned in the report.” So much for MAHA when the facts and science are skewed.
