It's a very easy electoral choice in the USA if you want to defend bodily autonomy, reduce child poverty, maintain rights for LGBT people, expand unions, or keep some small window for confronting climate change.

Most serious people understand Biden needs to end his campaign. Here’s a little thread on why I think Harris and not [your fav via open convention] should be the nominee, which is something serious people disagree about. I want to explain what “legitimacy” means in this context.

All of the left-wing and liberal 4D chess commentators trying to argue why prosecuting the previous president for doing crimes is actually bad can stop now. "Powerful people are above the law" is probably not the take you mean to have, but...it's what you're saying.

There really needs to be a rule about how many opinions New Yorkers are allowed to publically have about other parts of the country because this is getting embarrassing.

Also Johnson and Vallas's policing proposals are rhetorically different, but functionally similar. We're just getting the version that doesn't require the city to bend over for the FOP, whose leadership is full of right wing extremists.

This was what Vallas was selling. It is objectively good that we don't have to go through his financial nonsense and ill concieved privitization from the 90s again.

We barely dodged another decade of strip mining Chicago's public services through privatization and financial policies based on nonsense Regan- era economic theory and magical thinking about revenue creation.

Conservatives and moderates are throwing tantrums as though we didn't just narrowly avoid electing one of the people most responsible for nearly bankrupting the 15 years ago. #chicago can finally breath a sigh of relief #brandon4chicago

Pleading for wealthy white people in #chicago to please, just this once, not fall for Vallas' grift that cutting taxes and privitization will not ruin public service quality. We've done this 3 times already since Reagan. You know it doesn't work. #BrandonJohnson

Riding Amtrak is a bit like supporting the United Nations...For the sake of future generations, it needs to succeed...But it probably doesn't deserve to.

The U.S. must condemn #Azerbaijan and: 1) Enforce Section 907 and stop all military assistance. 2) Impose sanctions, using Magnitsky laws and other applicable legal instruments. 3) Send emergency aid to the 120,000 #Armenians suffering a humanitarian crisis.

Azerbaijan has trapped 120k people for 17 days. Despite most UNSC members calling on AZ to lift the blockade of Artsakh, the AZ gov has refused. This is not a "both sides" issue. This is not something "dialogue" will fix. This is Azerbaijan being a tyrannical terror state.
Lachin corridor [Armenia/Azerbaijan] : We call on the sides to resolve pending issues through a dialogue, urgently enable free & safe movement, protect human rights& avoid adverse humanitarian impact on civilians

In fairness, the U.S. rail passenger system is pretty good for getting to and from Chicago.
