Ordinary Democrats are angry and want the party to put up a fight against the Trump administration, says Waleed Shahid 🪬. "You don't say there’s a fire and then you give the arsonist a match and gasoline, and that's effectively what Chuck Schumer did.”

it’s really easy to say stuff like “unions need to be brave and bold!” and then answer the question of “OK, how?” with “by organizing!” everyone who does this should be required to explain their plan of what workers what unions are organizing and where and how

NEW: ICE is hunting for Yunseo Chung, a Columbia student who attended pro-Palestine protests. Chung came to the US from Korea with her family at age 7, and was her high school's valedictorian. She's a lawful permanent resident. Here's what we know so far. 🧵

A Pennsylvania State Senate district that Trump had won by 15 points just flipped blue tonight. This is how it’s done. Run everywhere. Run down ballot. Focus on local elections ASAP - from school board to councils to state legislatures. We build from there. Great job PA! 👏🏽

In the years ahead, when the pressure mounts, remember that it’s an immense honor to be targeted by this regime and an utter disgrace to bow down to it. But best of all -of course- is to build the power in society that we need to defeat it together.

Incarcerated people who are very ill should be released to the community for treatment not held in prison where they will get sicker and potentially die - doing so at a HUGE cost to PA taxpayers. This is important legislation and a great first step. Excited to get this done.

Today our medical release bill passed House Judiciary! We're one step closer to allowing very ill incarcerated to be cared for at home by family and saving taxpayer dollars. Huge thanks to Reps. Krajewski & Ecker and all who voted yes. On to the full House-let’s get this done!
