Not a former blue check. What's the point of saying where I work if all my tweets are my own views anyway? ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿš„๐Ÿ›น๐Ÿฅ‘ Now also on bluesky.

To spell it out: people who make 80%-100% of area median income are mostly served by market-rate housing, often older housing that's freed up by increased new supply. Every anti-supply policy hurts these ppl the most (as well as those making <80% AMI who dont win hsng lotteries)
Saying "no new housing unless it's Affordable housing" is essentially saying screw everyone who earns too much to qualify for subsidized or deed restricted housing but not enough to afford market-rate homes. Itโ€™s your teachers, nurses, firefighters, small business owners & more.

Iโ€™ve seen a lot of posts re Dems reaching across the aisle to work with the Republicans on various issues, but Iโ€™ve not seen the reprehensible terrorism being inflicted on us by ICE mentioned. That is not acceptable and people need to say so loud and clear. Enough!

Latest update: The attorney immediately filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus on the child's behalf. However, ICE violated the judge's order and transferred the child to Texas. The child is now being held at a detention center in Texas. Please, everyone, help this child.

"we support immigrants who do things the right way" they said
ICE detain motherโ€”and her orphaned 4 year old boy. At fingerprinting appointment for asylum case. "You just took a kid!" witness yells. "Where are you putting the kids?" Lawyer said: "This is the first time Iโ€™ve heard of them not even letting a child go." "His mother wanted a family friend who was already present to take care of the boy." She says they were legally observingโ€”and the child has a right to counsel under an injunction. Referencing the 2025 Supreme Court case Kristi Noem v. Pedro Vasquez Perdomo. Incident occurred at USCIS El Monte Application Support Center in City of Industry, California. Chuang Legal Office doesn't have an active account on this platformโ€”so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

"Now is not the right time" is the famous line you often hear from liberals who punch sideways. So if 2 days after a blue tsunami isn't the perfect time to air the party's dirty laundry, transform the leadership, and punish fascist collaborators... then when IS the "right time"?

That's quite a load of bullsh*t. It's suggesting that Abbott's administration is actually incompetent. So for all these years, praising Texas' strict photo ID and verification system was all a sham? Or 30 years of Republican complacency? And 2 million illegals slipped under the radar? More like sore loser syndrome for you and @montoyalouis1

UPDATEโ€”The ICE agent in this video violently attacking a U.S. citizen has been arrested for child sex crimes. Kent Blacklidge was charged with rape, sexual abuse, and incest involving a juvenile. His job for ICE was investigating child exploitation cases.
ICE wrestled Alabama worker to the ground & detain him for hoursโ€”he is a U.S. citizen. Young man was begging & shouting, "I am a U.S. citizen"โ€”but that didn't stop ICE agents from dragging him off to a detention center. Not following due process hurts us allโ€”and our economy. His family said that ICE agents did release him after he was finally given the opportunity to prove he was a U.S. citizenโ€”but only after many hours. This construction site in Foley, Alabama was forced to shut down for at least the day. How many other businesses were affected? #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

WATCH โ€” DOGE was a disaster at the federal levelโ€ฆ now @MarshaBlackburn says her priority will be to โ€œDOGEโ€ Tennessee. (From WVLT) So she thinks @GovBillLee & the @TNGOP have been wasteful? Or is this just a nice sound bite she thinks the base will swallow?

People of Florida. Yโ€™all better hold your damn head high. We broke state legislature super majorities because we drove turnout while everyone wrote us off. We have work to do sure, but letโ€™s celebrate the fact we won 17 seats down ballot. Iโ€™m an organizer. And I look forward to getting back to what I love and know best. Organizing THE HELL out of my state. Letโ€™s get to work!

Oppression? Seriously? Dr. Sarah Jukaku holds dual bachelorโ€™s degrees from the University of Michigan, a masterโ€™s from Oxford, and an MD from Columbia. How many women get the opportunity to study at institutions of that calibre? And yet you think you have the intellectual authority to dictate what she should wear? Sheโ€™s an educated, accomplished, independent woman. She doesnโ€™t need your permission, approval, or ideological policing to make choices about her own body. Disagree with her choices if you must, but stop confusing your personal prejudices with womenโ€™s liberation. The irony of preaching freedom while policing a womanโ€™s clothing is absolutely pathetic. Get over yourself. Itโ€™s her life, her body, her choice. Your moral superiority complex needs a reality check, not an audience.

Texas canโ€™t be taken seriously as a tech-centric economy until/unless we can deliver Online Voter Registration. Why are we slower than Oklahoma??

Schumer: "The issue is not me. I'll be re-elected as majority leader." A generational shift in the congressional electorate, defined by a clear mandate that voters expect younger more aggressive representation without big money influence, and Schumer is ENTITLED to be re-elected? Absolutely fucking tone deaf!
As Schumer says the new Dem majority prepared to take on Trump, I asked him about the new Dems in his ranks โ€” like Adam Hamilton and Troy Jackson โ€” who want him out as leader and say they wonโ€™t vote for him. โ€œThe issue is not me. I'll be reelected as majority leader. But the issue is focusing on the American people and what they want.โ€

Out here worried about trump vetoing everything Dems pass when all Dems need to do is send Abdul El-Sayed to the White House in a tight pants and shirt to meet with trump for 2 seconds and that man will not remember what a veto is.
