Some might say, hacking billboards is noble work. 😉

We shall found a university where any person can pursue any study, they said. Except if you refuse to toe the line for Trump. Shame on #cornell @cornellcourage.bsky.social ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/12/09/i...

Overheard: my 7yo telling his ukulele teacher about John Brown during a lesson

Trump is holding a Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s-themed party at his private club in Palm Beach tonight as he tries to withhold SNAP and health care subsidies from millions of Americans. (via Kellie Meyer)

This man? Not actually related to the Tanners at all, yet they call him "Uncle Joey"

Cleveland's Fair Wage Board was dormant for two decades. But now working people need all the protection they can get. Proud to work with labor, faith leaders, and City Council to bring this board back to life. #FairWages #UnionStrong

Jesus Christ. Don't make me be in solidarity with war criminal John Bolton.

While Donald Trump tries to stoke race-based fear to justify his authoritarian takeover, may I remind you that CRIME IS DOWN!! Like significantly! Especially in big cities led by Black mayors like @justinmbibb.bsky.social.

Men lie, women lie, numbers don't. Mayors have been taking "all of the above" approaches to safety... and it's working. Don't give into fear mongering.

Want to know how to build safe communities? Ask Democratic mayors: ‪@randallwoodfin.bsky.social‬ used technology and grassroots outreach ‪@wutrain.bsky.social‬ created a guaranteed youth jobs program Here in Cleveland, the RISE Initiative has cut homicides by 26%. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Homicides & felonious assaults are down almost 30%.Cleveland is safer not only because we recruited more officers & raised their pay, but also because we’re funding programs that build safer, stronger communities from the ground up.

Gun violence is still too high, but we’re bringing it down by building strong communities from the ground up, with extended rec center hours, youth outreach, hoops after dark, care response & more. Grateful to be named a "gun sense candidate" by @everytown.bsky.social‬ & @momsdemand.bsky.social‬.

As president of the @democraticmayors.bsky.social, I’m proud to bring mayors to Cleveland who are focused on results. While Washington stalls, cities are solving problems. This summit is about leading with solutions—community over chaos. www.cleveland.com/open/2025/07...

A red sculpture of President Trump emerging from a manhole was installed in Midtown Manhattan.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Nearly half of Cleveland residents get health care through Medicaid. SNAP helps 1/3 put food on the table. Today’s budget harms the many & gives handouts to the wealthy few. I won’t be deterred. I’ll keep fighting for affordable housing, safe neighborhoods, & healthy communities.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Have to hand it to Chris Ronayne. He's showing real guts and leadership. 👏 www.cleveland.com/news/2025/07...

The universe is funny. My college study buddy Drew Warshaw is running to give New Yorkers back their unclaimed funds...I'm here in Ohio fighting Republican lawmakers who just voted to give ours to billionaires 🤷‍♀️

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

The rich are partying on yachts and building bunkers while the poor are drowning in floods, fleeing bombs, working three jobs to survive. they flaunt their wealth like it’s harmless. but in a world on fire, luxury is violence. no one should live like a god while others can’t drink clean

My name is Drew Warshaw, and I’m running for State Comptroller. With the urgency that this moment demands. To give New Yorkers a real choice—and a chance for badly needed change. Join our fight.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future. Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

I mean she’s right. Where’s the lie?

LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

#MAGAMurderBill nothing else is accurate or puts the life and death stakes front and center.

Who would have guessed that "play dead," tweet about prices, and green light MAGA crypto crime spree*, isn't a winning strategy? (* yes, yes not all Dems. And the ones actually confronting fascism are, not coincidentally, getting donor support.) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/u...

Padilla: The President, VP, and their allies have continued to call all the protesters out there insurrectionists. Yes, this is the same man who provoked an actual insurrection at our capitol on January 6.

I know lots of state lawmakers and they mostly live just regular lives. The thought of them having to look over their shoulders like this is terrifying. What a horrible era we've entered.

We feed you. They hunt us.

I’m going to say if Gavin Newsom sees a political edge on taking on Trump so forcefully, the ground is shifting.

This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful. Then Trump brought the chaos. He is responsible.

We’re bringing fresh ideas and real results to City Hall—while keeping our people front and center. If that makes me a “technocrat with soul,” I’ll take it. Appreciate the love from @democraticwins.bsky.social demwinsmedia.substack.com/p/justin-bib...

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

How do you know #MAGAMurderBudget is not merely the most apt but most strategic label? MAGA knows making this debate life and death is the killer (pun intended) blow to this evil bill: www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

This is what government is supposed to do: Solve problems. Everybody wins when we make childcare more affordable. • Kids get a strong foundation that sets them up for success • Parents can remain in the workforce • Businesses have employees they can count on. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/05...

Who did this? 😂

It's like a death cult

When you repeat a false argument, even for purpose of saying it’s “not true,” you help make the argument stronger in the minds of your readers. Because of the way your brain’s neurocircuitry works, you activate the frames you are trying to negate. www.theframelab.org/cut-the-not-...

if your grand approach to politics is bloodless poll-testing so that you're always aligned with wherever public opinion happens to be, you've already lost

The job of a good message is not to say what is popular. It is to make popular what we need said.

Well I'm convinced

FULL DISCLOSURE, MAGA Murder Budget is the messaging that I suggested and while I wanted to just ignore this new testing, now that it's out there, feels like I gotta wade in. Here goes - adventures in everything wrong with Dem message testing, a case study. /1

If this passes big, unnecessary cuts to Medicaid, it's because House Republicans in blue states cave. Let's make that as hard as possible. One way: Explain that Republicans want to add a Job Loss Penalty to Medicaid. New from me in @gilduran.com & @george-lakoff.com's @theframelab.bsky.social
