In odd-numbered years, many PA voters don't vote their entire ballot (called "roll-off"). But thanks to— • @onepennsylvania.bsky.social • @maketheroadpa.bsky.social • @apipennsylvania.bsky.social —and other orgs in @paworkingfamilies.bsky.social, roll-off went from 30% to a record-low 2%. ❤️‍🔥

The Trump administrations head-spinningly absurd decisions on their illegal war on Iran may be by design. The rapid fire, inhumane, and un-strategic decisions are reminding us of the "Flood the Zone" strategy, attributed to Steve Bannon and aggressively deployed during the first 100 days of this ter

By the way, I highly recommend this entire series of articles in @convergencemag.com that aims (and in my opinion succeeds) in depicting how UTLA transformed into the excellent union it is today. convergencemag.com/convergence-...

Thank you so much @bdlimm.bsky.social! We're also raising $10k this month for a new fellowship program to nurture more movement writers in 2026. Now's a great time to pitch in.

There's a very good chance that the very best article about NYC-DSA you will read this year is this one, by chapter co-chair Grace Mausser. There are too many good lines to pick just one to highlight here; I recommend reading this one closely all the way through. convergencemag.com/articles/nyc...

I highly recommend @benlorber8.bsky.social's "What Antisemitism Is, What It Isn’t, and Why It Matters" series in @convergencemag.com. Lorber offers a really grounded and accessible framework for understanding antisemitism.

For @convergencemag.com I wrote a two-part guide for progressives on how to understand antisemitism and its weaponization, and how to fight it with solidarity Part 1 breaks down how antisemitism is used as a tool by the 1% and a fuel for White Christian supremacy -- yesterday and today

ICYMI, I had a great conversation last week with @convergencemag.com on their "Block and Build" podcast about narrative power. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.

What's the big deal with digital IDs? The threat of expanded government power to police people’s movement and medical care; particularly concerning as more people cross state lines to get necessary health care. convergencemag.com. #DigitalIDs #SurveillanceState #ReproJustice #ConvergenceMag

Digital IDs (like a driver’s license on your phone) are being used to verify identity both IRL & online—posing a growing threat to privacy. As more people are forced to cross state lines for abortion or gender-affirming care, each step could become a data point for surveillance👁️

With Cynthia Conti-Cook and Sawyeh Esmaili, I wrote for @convergencemag.com about how expanding digital ID systems threaten to increase government power to police people’s movement and access to medical care, especially as more people cross state lines to seek essential health services.

In our current political climate, we must consider using as many avenues for power-building as possible. While we cannot forget the importance of our (albeit flawed) electoral system, we must also view labor and union activism as the invaluable tool for enforcing progressive change that it is (1/2)
