“As the annual Pride parade weaved its way through Durham… the rainbow flags were almost matched in number by trade union banners, as miners, postal workers, and train drivers swelled the parade’s ranks in solidarity, making it the biggest in Durham Pride’s history.” Solidarity is our strength. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies. Trump just won’t release it. 440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

Awful.... I'm looking now for the language the Republicans approved. Will post below when I find it

🚨Jasmine Crockett & Eric Swalwell begged House Judiciary Republicans to vote NO. They offered deals, sweeteners, the whole package. And those damn soulless traitors STILL voted to let Trump exile American citizens. This isn’t just betrayal—it’s the birth of authoritarian rule. Sound the alarm.🚨

Bill Owens, executive producer of “60 Minutes”, resigns: “I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes’, right for the audience.” We’re falling into fascism. — Deeper and deeper.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...
