Thank you Belen for your warm welcome! My favorite part of this campaign is meeting New Mexicans, your families and learning your ideas about how we can bring change to New Mexico together.

Marco Rubio thinks free speech had no role in the Holocaust, but the Nazi's perverted Germany's free speech protections into the Right to Lie. Those lies radicalized Germans so much they enslaved Europe & tried to exterminate the Jewish race. Just like Trump/MAGA/Elon are doing right now.

Better advertising to come, but I’m excited to announce that registration is now live for our very heavily subsidised Teaching Indigenous Histories & Perspectives Conference on 28 June! Bursaries for travel are available plus free follow-up support. Please do share with all your teacher networks!

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Counterpoint: Failing to understand the causes of past failures is not a promising strategy for moving forward. Ignore anyone trying to silence critics of failed Democratic strategies. They're just trying to avoid accountability and position themselves for another lucrative consulting gig.

I’m the dairy farmer running to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

This is the truest post you'll read today. Along those lines, I can understand that Democratic leadership put up with Manchin and Sinema, i.e. to preserve their majority. In 2025, though, when that's not a consideration, there's no excuse for not booting @fetterman.senate.gov from the caucus.

Hey, all you evangelicals... I'm not a believer myself but it occurs to me that Psalms 115:5-6 is a perfect description of Republican voters in 2025. What do you think? “They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell.”
