THREAD. This thread contains several pieces of writing that I produced recently designed for anyone in your life who is well-meaning and who has progressive values, but who consumes a lot of mainstream news or who listens to what politicians say about crime and safety.

Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip in the House, and it is thus her responsibility to ensure members are there to vote.
Clark is also a founding member of EDW, which hosted an event tonight from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, overlapping with the 5:30pm vote on the Hegseth impeachment.
Of the 11 members who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its AIPAC-tied super PAC EDW Action. Of those 8, two are sitting board members.

We give House Democrats the biggest blue wave in 100+ years and they repay us by getting stuck in traffic and missing a vote to impeach a war criminal.

BREAKING: The 11 House Democrats who missed the vote that killed Thomas Massie's Hegseth impeachment resolution have all received significant pro-Israel AIPAC money in Congress.

Steven Horsford (NV): $214K

So from what I understand you can’t vote against Jeffries because they won’t let you be on committees but you can skip the impeachment vote and get to stay on the committees, do I have that right

Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself.
This doesn’t make us safer, see why ⬇️

If leadership is cruel to people who challenge them, if they bully members "mafioso-style" to get in line, as one incoming member said - that's even MORE of a reason to reject that leadership.
I mean, am I on another planet here? What the hell is going on? They are saying "We must vote for them because they are threatening us". Dude, that's literally DISQUALIFYING.
You're clearly telling us the party is run by soulless bullies and STILL VOTING FOR THEM.
wtf?

Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

Letitia James is a big-time supporter of Israel. Rape, including gang rape, of Palestinians is systemic in Israeli prisons. On camera. Sometimes with dogs

My name is Ahmed Moor and I’m running for US Senate here in PA (election 2028). I’m running to end the war in Iran and to promote the dignity agenda: free healthcare, free childcare, and affordable housing.
I’m calling for accountability for genocide, for ICE and for corruption. And finally, for the protection of our civil liberties in America. Join the fight at moorforsenate.com

I see Hegseth’s trending, just a reminder that when he ran 2 Vets organizations he spent all their cash on lavish parties & bar tabs leaving organizations in debt before being forced out and became alcoholic, sexual predator Fox News host. This was BEFORE he was criminal Sec Def.

I am a scholar in the failed post civil war reconstruction, and I did my masters thesis on the damage that failure and unaccountable conservatives have done to this country for the last 150yrs to this day, and we are on a precipice here again. America must stop allowing capitalism to preclude democracy, and hold the robber barons, racists, murderers, and corrupt politicians accountable, or this “revolutionary” election doesn’t mean shit.

The day after winning election, Senator-elect Peggy Flanagan called for Chuck Schumer to be replaced as the Democrats’ leader in the U.S. Senate.

Sorry, but as a Black man who understands our responsibility as descendants of enslaved Africans in America
I must RIGOROUSLY and FEVERISHLY OPPOSE a Black Zionist being elevated to Speaker of the House
We simply cannot afford a Black person with that much power supporting Genocide directly or tacitly
the SOUL OF BLACK FOLK is on the line and we are being weighed against the Arc of the Moral Universe.
No on Hakeem Jeffries.

Minneapolis community: We need yr help. Dozens were displaced by the fire in our building and almost all belongings are a total loss. Three infants were among us and we will be displaced for up to a year, if not longer.
Can you help support and share?

The last time Democrats had power in the Senate, Chuck Schumer blocked *bipartisan* bills that would have prohibited big tech exploitation from even getting a floor vote.
This is an economic populist anti-big tech wave and those bills and more are getting a vote this time.
The voters clearly want to cut big tech down to size, stop it from running industrial policy, regulate it, force it open, stop the madness of Andreessen and Google running the country.
Not for nothing the lobbyists are scurrying around this morning trying to make big tech anger an asterix, and only "really" about data centers.
