For @thenation I wrote on the profound lack of strategy in philanthropy: Whether we like it or not, funding is the primary incentive structure that remakes the American left...if the money is unstrategic, the work itself will also be unstrategic. https://t.co/H6ZHMkhXfz

2028 will be won by whoever recognizes first that there is not a single economic indicator that even slightly correlates with how the average american family experiences the economy, and optimizing for the former at the cost of the latter will destroy you

At Elmhurst hospital, Heather Irobunda, an ob-gyn with the Doctors Council SEIU, asked Mamdani about the Black maternal health crisis. Irobunda told reporters pregnant Amazon workers come to the hospital via ambulance because they pass out on the way to work for lack of food.

Karine Jean Pierre is truly end-stage liberal identity politics, where literally every question can be answered by reference to "lived experience," all politics boils down to what identity boxes you check, and stunningly narcissistic acts are excused as "self-care".

On msnbc @aseitzwald says he cannot find a single person who has abandoned @grahamformaine since tattoo/reddit story dropped “and I’ve tried really hard.” Says it’s the biggest disconnect he’s ever seen between natl media and on the ground reality. (Sorry for poor clip quality!)

the worst offenders of weaponized identity politics was always centrist Dems, not the left. it's their theory of how to hold a heterogenous voter + donor coalition together

Establishment Democrats spent a full year complaining the Left forced them to be “woke.” But then a left populist, Graham Platner, threatened to win in Maine, so they went right back to trying to cancel someone over old internet posts.

New: Nearly 1 in 7 public school students, or over 154,000, were homeless at some point last school year - a staggering all time high that all together, would be one of the 20 biggest school districts in the country. https://t.co/PEU4W38H0M

Former Waterville, Maine mayor says that the hits against Platner are expected now that Schumer is involved in the race. Fascinating to see him name checked like this. She finishes by saying democracy should belong “to the many, not the money.”

BREAKING: Gaza authorities say the Israeli army has committed 47 violations of the ceasefire, killing 38 people and wounding another 143 🔴 LIVE updates: https://t.co/W8S1tVkA8c

Israeli media confirms the reports of the horrific ways in which Greta Thunberg was treated by Israel: * She is held in a cell infested with bedbugs * Provided insufficient food and water, leading to dehydration * Developed a rash, apparently from bedbug bites * Forced to pose

.@davidrkadler's mother tells me: "David is now in an Israeli prison and his US senators (Schiff and Padilla) are not being helpful. The EU is all over the prison and our embassy has not shown up at all." Hey, @SenAdamSchiff and @AlexPadilla4CA. A constituent of yours is in a

.@UNReliefChief: Kids dying of starvation, effectively their bodies consuming their own organs, what we give them to try and avoid that is this high protein peanut butter paste. We’ve been told we can’t bring it in because it’s a luxury @amanpour: Seriously? Tom: Seriously

I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread👇

A prominent labor advocate in WA has been kidnapped by ICE and won't be released. Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez Zeferino has been in the US since he was 13. He played a crucial role in securing heat protections, water breaks, and stronger pay enforcement for farmworkers. #FreeLelo

Amount of Federal Income taxes Paid: Undocumented Immigrants: $55.8 billion in 2023 Tesla: $0 in 2024 & 2022 AT&T: $0 in 2021 Nike: $0 in 2020 FedEx: $0 in 2020 Amazon: $0 in 2017-2018 Elon Musk: $0 in 2018 Jeff Bezos: $0 in 2007 & 2011 Billionaires are the real tax deadbeats.

The Times has now invested more resources into Mamdani's application to college than they have into covering genocide in Gaza. Normal people don't care about his college application. Joe Kahn's NYT is just obsessed with Israel, while most Democrats agree with Mamdani.

In the second part of this video, a gentleman's court date was rescheduled because a translator was not available. ICE didn't care, dragged him away anyway, and threatened to arrest my team. TLDR: ICE is abducting people who are following the law. @CMAlexaAviles can confirm.

Incredible. Learnt nothing, forgotten nothing, good for nothing.

This is wild. This means that literally every person's citizenship is up for dispute. Naturalized or born here no one is safe. A historical fact: The revoking of citizenship for Jewish people in Germany began by the Nazis in 1933.
