.Lauren Boebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws. You don’t get to “thoughts and prayers” your way out of this. Look inward and change.

The fact that there are not 60 senators willing to stand up to Big Business and fight for basic rights for U.S. rail workers is horrific.

NEW from me: Chicago police have denied hundreds of U visa certification requests from undocumented crime victims this year. Many of the denials are at odds with federal and state law. Who are the officers signing those denials? Let me tell you. injusticewatch.org/news/immigrati…

So, I remember the basics of how this works now. They row across the Potomac at dawn, grab a doctor, he turns around, @RepMattGaetz fiddles with his trigger, count to ten... But, is @GOPLeader Mike's second, or is Mike Rogers Kev's second? Any clarity Hamilton ???

While it's personally dispiriting to see your work targeted in bad faith, what's more distressing to me is that the lives of women of color I've written about are being diminished and erased in a political moment in which we need their stories most.

315 anti-LGBTQ bills were introduced in state legislatures in the U.S. in 2022. The number of anti-LGBTQ bills introduced so far in 2023 exceeds that and exceeds all anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in 2012, 2013, and 2014 combined. 🔥📒 More in MAP's latest: bit.ly/map-under-fire…

Only thing I'm gonna miss about the Lightfoot years is Lisa Beasley doing Lori!

A 🧵: We’re so glad to see that Actors' Equity is stepping up to stand in strong opposition to the Tennessee "Drag Ban." (1/7)

It will almost certainly be the closest Chicago general election anyone has seen in decades. Last tight one was in 1983 when the legendary Harold Washington beat Republican Bernard Epton 52-48 to become first Black mayor.

Important note on Chicago & what's left: In February, Chicago's board of elections said 507K people had voted as of 7pm CT. Final turnout (includes late-arriving mail) was roughly 565K, so an extra 60K. Chicago board just announced 530K people had voted as of 7pm CT today.

And there it is: w/ 484,829 votes counted in Chicago, Brandon Johnson takes the lead over Paul Vallas by 1,111 votes (50.11%-49.89%). You wouldn't want to call it without seeing at least some mail, but it's virtually done.

I've seen enough: Brandon Johnson defeats Paul Vallas in the Chicago mayoral runoff.

Do not pass Jim Crow. Do not collect 40 acres and a mule. Go directly to racism!

A 🧵 from the brilliant Bear Bellinger: Nataki’s departure from Oregon Shakespeare Festival was both depressing and inevitable. Not inevitable as in it was wholly unavoidable... (1/26)

One of the biggest misperceptions in unions is that contract negotiations are a brilliant battle of wits, and since the little people couldn't begin to comprehend what's going on so it's best to leave them out. Ridiculous. Want to know what negotiations are really like?

I LITERALLY stopped working on my memo so I could read this indictment. I am on page 24 and JESUS LUPITA NYONG'O CHRIST. HOW this man still has the capacity to shock me after everything that's happened, i'll never know. but I am sitting here *STUNNED*.

THIS is how it’s done. 🔥
