A historic win in Miami by Eileen Higgins, the first Democratic mayor in nearly 30 years, deserves a special late-night LEFT HOOK. @mikemadrid.bsky.social breaks down why this is so huge and how it could represent a historic shift away from the GOP. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-histor...

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Rand Paul: "It has not been the history of the US to kill people who are out of combat. Even if there is a war, which most of us dispute -- that a bunch of people who are unarmed allegedly running drugs is a war -- we still don't kill people when they're incapacitated ... it's illegal and immoral."

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate. Good. Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose. She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot. It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

I feel this in my bones… THE AMERICAN WORKER IS ALL OF US. Black, white, Latino, Asian, Native, immigrant, union or not. Not the “working class” stereotype. We built this country. We keep it running. Stop dividing. Start recognizing. I have a lot to say open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

Another powerful morning on the picket line with my family, this time at our daughter’s former school, Fairmont Elementary. West Contra Costa County teachers are incredibly important to our family and our community. They deserve a fair contract!

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy. Enough to power 23 million homes! U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

♥️ “ICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

What folks who say "normal" families don't need public health interventions mean is that sickness is the appropriate punishment for poverty, and that the government helping those people out is not just financially wasteful but morally illegitimate

It’s done. In spite of the blowback, Trump did it anyway. Two things: First, the double tap boat attack story was certainly leaked to WaPo in response to this corrupt pardon of a real drug trafficker. Second, this pardon was obviously bought and paid for already. apple.news/Aln0Vq6gtQ-i...
