Today I wrote about how Republicans in state legislatures are working around the clock to make it harder for students to vote. Voting for college students is difficult. I know this because I experienced it up close when I was a voting rights organizer. thedailybeast.com/gop-cant-beat-…

Why is there such a rush to get rid of decent policy solely bc it was implemented in response to COVID? There are lots of things that were implemented for a specific reason, but we kept them around because they were beneficial Why the rush to end things this time?

In 1959, Eugene Ionesco wrote the absurdist play Rhinoceros in which one by one, an entire town of people suddenly transform into rhinos. At first, people are horrified but as the contagion spreads, (almost) everyone comes to accept that turning into a rhinoceros is fine. 1/

Just a reminder that "school choice" is code for "shoveling public funds into private hands to ensure there's no threat to uninterrupted bigotry." Here's what happens when parents actually try to steer the course of public education in a repressive environment (e.g. Ohio).

@EladNehorai Hypocrisy is a virtue to fascists. It’s an overt display that ideas & rhetoric don’t matter, only power. It’s also why “exposing their hypocrisy” & “shaming them” doesn’t work, the only thing they understand are severe consequences.

🚨 🚨 DEMOCRACY FIELD TRIP The decline of democracy is not an academic issue. It’s directly responsible for a rapid downward spiral in public outcomes, while those in power stay in office while giving away the store. Manchester, Ohio is a sad, perfect example. WATCH and RT:

Look, I hate to still have to be talking about this. But everything that right-wingers, Lee Zeldin, and Fox News are telling you about crime in NYC is a myth. Here's the stats from the last 22 years. I'll debunk below.

Man there really is just hundreds of accounts tweeting the N word over and over. The fact that these people think Elon Musk taking over means it's their time is so damning on its own. I think this will end up being his real legacy

We're freshly in the uncharted waters of one of our major parties being openly authoritarian. Every other issue pales in comparison and I hope that's clear to voters ahead of the midterms. Maybe it is and we're ok with fascism as long as gas is cheap. But I hope not. (3/3)

Fascism always claims to be a new broom, that will sweep away corruption and solve intractable problems. But in every case it is supported by oligarchs, mafias and the billionaire media: in other words, the forces that created the mess it claims to solve. It's a con.

To republicans today laws only apply to their enemies and any accountability of republican misdeeds is illegitimate.

I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a "pro-life/anti-abortion" voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said.
