Got a Dem fundraising email: "Democrats across the country have received a lot fewer individual donations so far this month than had been hoped for, and certainly less than the last few months." Soooo maybe try DOING something completely different?

Twitter people are talking about the CNN poll showing that people "approve" of Trump's handling of gender identity. Turns out though when you look at the crosstabs, Democrats and Independents do not approve of Trump's handling of trans issues. But Republicans absolutely love it.

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

The same neutral-during-primaries party disenfranchised millions of primary voters before Super Tuesday in 2020 by making all of the center candidates support Biden the WEEKEND BEFORE because they were too scared of Warren and Sanders to let the democratic process play out.

I had an interesting experience yesterday, where my public-facing and scholarly worlds intersected, really collided. There were some fireworks. Now I'm stuck in an airport on a layover, so I'm going to write about that experience. It happened at this talk at CSU Bakersfield #highered #academiclife

Some people put so much time and energy into keeping gates when they could be enjoying themselves, like is that gate really necessary or could you just let it go and watch a movie or something?

🧵The FBI has arrested Judge Hannah Dugan, who is also the former executive director of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. If you keep an eye on extremism, you'll notice that Catholic Charities has faced significant attacks over the past two years. This story is from March 2024.

Happy birthday to @barbrastreisand.bsky.social, whose 1973 fundraiser kept our co-founder Daniel Ellsberg’s legal fight alive long enough for him to win. She kept Dan out of jail for leaking the Pentagon Papers; now we’re continuing his fight to defend whistleblowers.

I simply do not understand how a NEWS ORGANIZATION is basically existing in a stage of siege but very rarely conveys in its political coverage that we are in a state of emergency

Also I had a short convo with a younger comrade last week who took the leap to apply to join a local community board and he wasn't selected to join. However, he took initiative and this is not the last word. I just want to encourage people especially young people not to be dissuaded. Keep going.
