Last night, people voted in elections in two different states.
"Those results tell us way more about the state of our democracy and the political strength of the pro-democracy forces in this country than all of today's other political headlines put together," says @chrislhayes.

To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.

Before the Memphis Police Dept. releases the video of 5 MPD officers murdering #TyreNichols during a routine traffic stop, and that heinous video inevitably goes viral, I want to amplify THIS video of Tyre LIVING his best life. 🛹👑🙏🏿😔✊🏿

THREAD. One of the main ways the news media distorts our perceptions of public safety is through decisions about the volume of news stories. This is one of the most important, but least discussed aspects of copaganda. I try my best to describe why it is important with examples.

Stephen A. Smith might be right. Maybe it's wrong to judge Jerry Jones for something that happened 65 years ago. Maybe he was just "curious." How could anyone know?

A quick primer on crime coverage:
1) Just as people began paying close attention to the midterm elections, Fox and right-wing media outlets went all in on crime.

THREAD. Two Harvard professors published an academic article calling for 500,000 more armed cops, who they say will arrest 7.8 million more people per year. The article reveals alarming flaws in elite academia at a time of rising fascism. This is one of my most important posts.

Los Angeles: There's a measure on this year's ballot that should be getting a LOT more attention. It's called Measure ULA, and it's a once-in-a-decade chance to radically address the housing crisis and make LA affordable for ALL. Let me explain why it's such a big deal: 🧵

I don’t know, man, maybe some dudes from the 1700s who owned people and would be mystified by the sight of a dishwasher weren’t right about everything in perpetuity

Question @kyrstensinema: If the only way to pass the 1964 civil rights act or 1965 voting rights act had been by a 51 vote majority, and you were in the Senate then, would you have voted for a carve out to the filibuster to pass them or would you have let them die w/out 60 votes?

51 votes to confirm a Supreme Court nominee.
51 votes to pass trillions in budget legislation.
51 votes for corporate tax cuts.
51 votes to confirm Cabinet nominees.
51 votes to raise the debt ceiling.
But 60 to protect voting rights? It’s an enraging & incoherent position.
