I won’t be voting for gerrymandering w Prop 50. No one can tell me what a House Majority w/o the presidency will defend us from that couldn’t have been secured w a Congressional Majority & the Presidency under Biden. The Dems did not have ✨It✨ then and don’t have ✨It ✨ now.

In addition to L.A. food banks, pantries, community fridges, and other food donation programs, we see free Cambodian chicken rice porridge, kids goodie bags, and a program that allows you to buy a meal for someone at a growing chain. The full story: https://t.co/C8RJ3wXF2x By

I get the need to Do Something. Donate to food banks. Drive a disabled person to their appointment (WEAR A 😷). Donate to @LATACO covering kidnappings more than "liberal" media. Buy out your local taquero. Donate to mutual aid/rent relief. Dems aren't the resistance. YOU ARE.
If anyone can answer this with a compelling argument, I will hold my nose and vote to disenfranchise Californians with Prop 50 "for the greater good."

What exactly do you all think Democrats are going to do in the next 4 years in the minority that they couldn’t do in the last for when they had the presidency that’s going to lead to a democratic presidency at all???

If you notice, the most successful democratic campaigns across the U.S. right now are NOT using memes.

How have “moderate” Democrats performed in Kentucky for Senate? Why is a moderate wing of the Democratic Party allowed to continually lose, but are still viewed as more “electable”?
The Dem base in a number of very red states is beginning to exhibit a version of “GOP Californication” - the party having lost so much support from moderates in state, all that’s left now is strong partisans who are insisting on nominating candidates too far from median to win.

"Congress built a system to guarantee their own survival & legislated one that imperils everyone else. They are flown out by helicopter while their constituents die waiting for treatment. Every republic leaves a record of what it chose to save first. Ours saved the politicians."
"What began as a modest workplace amenity for public servants has metastasized into a taxpayer-funded citadel of privilege." Commentary: https://t.co/GZ54TBzeKy

⁉️📣 Calling those with #LongCOVID, #MECFS, or #POTS — when it comes to lab tests, how would you describe your experience? Did you ever get abnormal results or were they mostly “normal” despite symptoms?

A Pasadena man had a heart attack from fear of ICE. Then he self-deported to Mexico. Trump’s immigration crackdown is leading some longtime residents to flee the country. They leave behind fractured communities and grieving loved ones. https://t.co/OYDqS23qTz

meanwhile, american parents would rather watch their kids get pneumonia 10x a year and constantly complain about how hard it is for them to have sick kids (but also that it's all super normal), than teach kids older than this to wear a mask

🧠 Today is #WorldStrokeDay Stroke rehab saves lives—but too many survivors aren’t getting the care they need. 📉 In the U.S.: • 60% don’t receive adequate rehab • Only 20% go to inpatient rehab • 35% get no PT, 49% no OT, 62% no speech therapy

To clarify: the group goes to great lengths to avoid any behavior seen as doxxing by DHS, which means they do not trail agents, and only use publicly available tools and information. Meanwhile, the catalog of illegal/threatening tactics by ICE they've documented is astounding.
For @Slate, I embedded with a group running counterintelligence on one of ICE’s most important operations in the country, in LA’s South Bay, compiling plate numbers, tracking scout cars, and tipping off workers before ICE can grab them.

Did you know that the housing crisis has upended foster care? There aren’t enough homes anymore…so across the nation, child welfare agencies have the foster children literally living in their offices. I spoke about this at @FordhamLaw. Here’s me:

The volunteer counterintel network an amazing operation, done at immense personal risk and cost. It doesn’t always work—we lost at least one person while I was there. But sometimes it does. This is how to bust up an ICE raid.

“I'm saying that to the camera. Hakeem Jeffries should be primaried.” @saikatc, who is challenging former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her seat, tells @mehdirhasan he’s going to be calling to primary "all the Democrats who have completely failed this party" if elected.

If you only follow Western media, you wouldn’t know what’s happening in the occupied West Bank. Seriously, where is the coverage?
For the second week, Palestinian farmers are being blocked, harassed and arrested as they try to undertake the annual olive harvest on their own lands. Israeli soldier and settler violence in the occupied West Bank has surged since the war on Gaza began in October 2023.

Reminder that 37% of folks on SNAP are elderly and disabled, and oftentimes don’t have the ability to stand outside a food bank for hours and then carry it all home. If you have a car, offer to give your elders and disabled neighbors a ride to the food bank.
