We are going to get a 10-1 map here in Virginia one way or another. Thank you all for your support and dedication to produce a victory on April 21. Let’s work even harder to secure an even larger victory on November 3, 2026. ➡️ indivisible.org #Virginia #supremecourt

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine. We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave. It was a wonderful kind of day.

The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless. In the 1970s, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a multi-billion dollar industry. It all began with the Powell Memo.

Virginia's got big plans for offshore wind! 🌊💨 With 176 turbines by 2027 and a whopping $11.4B invested, this is a game changer. Imagine East Coast fleets powering our cities with clean energy, cutting fuel costs, and giving us steadier bills. The future looks bright and green!

Love it when I can return a book early on Libby when there are people waiting for it. I like to imagine the next person in line being really excited that the book is available for them now 🤗 #BookSky

John Roberts OWNS THIS. I couldn't despise him more. UGH. #VoterSuppression #Gerrymandering

Did you catch us out there yesterday standing with workers and calling out the Supreme Court’s pursuit of injustice? www.theguardian.com/us-news/gall... www.instagram.com/p/DX0IebBDlS...

Black women are the backbone of the federal workforce, it’s true.

Mifepristone bans by the 5th Circuit Court won’t end until women no longer control their own bodies. “The League believes in the power of women to create a more perfect democracy & we believe protection for reproductive health decisions is a democracy issue.” @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvtexas.bsky.social

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

The Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais puts voting districts that give voters of color an opportunity to elect candidates of our choice in jeopardy across the country. Although the court has upended decades of progress, we're not giving up or backing down from defending our democracy.

No matter how much injustice is served up by this Supreme Court or this White House, we will always fight for justice for all. Workers, immigrants, families, and YOU over billionaires every single day of the week that ends in y. Let’s seek justice, together! ➡️ wofava.org #Virginia #mayday #may1 #dc

Our rights weren’t given—they were fought for and won by workers who refused to accept dismal working conditions. Today, working people carry their strength in our fight for justice. #MayDay

The Supreme Court has greenlit erasing Black majority districts, silencing Black Americans, and bringing back Jim Crow era politics. We must fight back against this reckless Supreme Court and White House. May 1 ➡️ Tax the Rich. No more War. ICE out NOW. Protect Voting Rights. Save our Country.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais was a blow to the very soul of America. Yesterday, we grieved. Today, we continue building a democracy that can one day truly deliver for all of us. Please reflect upon the magnitude of the Court’s decision. ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

No School. No Work. No Spending. If you are able to join us on May 1 in this day of economic action and power, we’d love to have you march with us ➡️ www.mobilize.us/mayday/event... #Virginia #may1st #mayday

Just crazy that the *actual* king of England is explaining the limits on the executive branch under Anglo-American constitutional law — to the U.S. Congress.

A Social Democracy is a Great Idea, not the Opposite…. I'll take "socialism" any day if it means the 32,000 veterans sleeping on the street get homes and kids in school get to eat. Call it what you want, I'm for taking care of people.

What makes Crossfit, Scientology, kpop fandoms, Qanon, beauty brand marketing, and start-ups alike? They all speak the same language: Cultish. Whether for good or for not-so-good. A useful read by Amanda Montell for examining the pitfalls to belonging. #nonfiction #booksky #leavingmaga

California's proposed billionaire tax has officially gathered enough signatures to make the November ballot, per the Wall Street Journal. Here's why I'm encouraging my fellow Californians to vote YES on this much-needed measure to rein in the super rich. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUcgiqsU6NQ

It looks like a ballot initiative to restore legal abortion in Idaho will happen! The group Idahoans United for Women and Families has reached its signature goals in 19 legislative districts, and counties have officially processed 95% of the 104,000 signatures gathered.

Yeah. If it weren’t for people…

Just finished All We Want is Everything by @sorayachemaly.bsky.social Media often presents the Manosphere as separate and distinct from the real world. But what if it is just another manifestation of the male supremacy that we have grown used to living with? #booksky #nonfiction shorturl.at/nWVW1

Congratulations and thank you to all the amazing WofAs, volunteers, and voters who made tonight’s victory possible! A BIG thank you to WofA Bridge Brigades, canvassers, and phone bankers. Tonight, Virginia voted YES. Tomorrow, we will continue the work to end the Republican trifecta in Washington.

I got the chance to speak with @tessmcenery.bsky.social about her path from governmental public service to community organizing. With an additional shout-out to @gra-alexandria.bsky.social. Thanks for listening!

Just came back from voting YES for fair elections in Virginia. It’s not too late to make a plan to vote before or on April 21st!

Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2025, despite making $5.7 billion. This Tax Day, remember that you have paid more in taxes than a multi-billion dollar company—all thanks to corporate tax breaks from Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

Why care about elections in Hungary? Because autocracy has gone global--and the interconnected web of finances and influence has empowered it. This morning (timely!), I finished Autocracy, Inc. by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social. The fight is worldwide. #nonfiction #booksky shorturl.at/QvKK3

The beginnings of Christian nationalism date back decades. This is how the movement has evolved since the 1970s — and how it has become a powerful force in American politics today. (Published Oct. 2024)

Three types of banana bread to end the weekend on a positive bite: plain, chocolate chip-walnut, and homemade dark chocolate Nutella 😋 #baking #bananas #quickbreads

Given the huge early turnout in Hungary odds seem very high that Magyar wil defeat Orbán very decisively; the question in that case would be whether Orbán goes with the Ukrainian electoral interference lie he has been preparing and whether foreign actors support him.

“This liberalism appears increasingly exhausted in the face of today’s overlapping crises.” @brentcebul.bsky.social @lilygeismer.bsky.social @dygottlieb.bsky.social @pastpunditry.bsky.social & @danielle-wiggins.bsky.social discuss the struggle for the soul of the Democratic Party:

This flew under the radar: Trump's new acting AG Todd Blanche shut down major DOJ investigations into crypto companies, dealers, and exchanges as Pam Bondi's second-in-command — all while holding at least $159,000 in crypto assets himself. The fox is guarding the hen house.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

You can't opt out of politics. Politics are everywhere. The powerful wield our existing systems to extract resources from us. We can see it even in how our food gets to our plates. www.powells.com/book/barons-... #booksky #nonfiction @austinfrerick.bsky.social
