Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

We had a great version of this discussion for an hour with @atgenevieve.bsky.social and a solid conclusion at the end - the answer is not individual feelings-based interventions! It's a class war to win open.spotify.com/episode/5Sor...

Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.

New Yorkers with children under six are leaving at double the rate of all others. The investment we make in universal, no cost childcare will make this city stronger, healthier and more prosperous for all.

Really wonder why Elon felt so compelled to buy the White House—other than driving more federal contracts to himself and his billionaire buddies. Could there have been another catalyst for him and Bezos to do what they did? 🧐 #UnionsForAll

one of the most persistent myths in punditry is that you can pull a coherent rationale out of the american voter. swing voters are, by and large, doing a surface level assessment of their current situation and giving a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all? I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Fc...

It’s worth emphasizing that even bad websites for public services are the result of privatization. NY State has almost no full time tech staff to work on UI. CUNY spent $600 million (!!) on a custom software system from Oracle that everyone hated pscbc.blogspot.com/2013/03/cuny...

when all the mattel cinematic universe movies flop really hard it's going to make me feral when executives blame audiences and not the people who badly misunderstood the appeal of an indie director-driven, mildly camp spectacle and thought america was instead clamoring for a polly pocket vehicle

Fighting with my MSNBC loving parents about the value of unions. I pointed out that my mom gets a guaranteed payout from her time working at a hospital in the NYC metro for a few years back in 1986-1988, and she was like "well that's not the union!" Ah the '80s, where employers just gave pensions!
