Thank you for coming to NJ and telling the truth about what’s happening at Delaney Hall. Thank you for standing up to the mayor’s lies!

NJSP beat protesters and journalists,who were NOT violent. We have eyes. We saw the videos. ICE and the police created the conflict they wanted and you covered for them and licked their boots with your dishonest statements. Shame on you. You betrayed the people of NJ.

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social The 1st amendment exists everywhere, not in zones. So disappointed and disgusted that you used NJSP to support fascists instead of protecting peaceful citizens at Delaney Hall. Do the job we elected you to do! Get a backbone! ICE out of NJ!

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Screenshot of a data visualization titled “The Cost of American Exceptionalism,” subtitled “What would change if the U.S. matched the OECD average?” The page explains that each card shows how outcomes would change if the U.S. matched the average of 31 peer democracies. Below, a section labeled “Economy & Inequality” displays eight cards comparing U.S. figures to OECD averages. Highlights include: +$19K per household per year in redistributed income and +$96K in redistributed wealth if the top 1% matched OECD shares; a 71% lower CEO-to-worker pay ratio (from 354× to 101×); 50 million more workers with union coverage; 26 million more people with health insurance; $2.1 trillion saved annually in healthcare spending; $691 less per person per year in prescription drug costs; and intergenerational economic mobility being twice as high. Each card shows the U.S. value alongside the OECD average.

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen. Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

School vouchers are a scam that further divides children between the haves and have nots, and in so doing, miseducate us all to be more selfish against each other and ignorant about each other.

If you’re ok with vouchers being used for ski trips or piano lessons but not ok with SNAP benefits being used for pizza or cupcakes, it’s not the use of public money you have a problem with. It’s that you think wealthy people deserve perks and poor people deserve to be poor.

If you’re too afraid to do your job, you should quit your job. If you’re too afraid to report on what’s going on because you’re afraid of MAGA death threats, you should stop being a reporter. if you’re too afraid to vote against honoring a white nationalist due to death threats, you should resign.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

You guys are doing it again. Yes, NOAA is important because of the National Weather Service, but that is not all they do and you should stop saying it is. I wrote this for the Union of Concerned Scientists. Read it and adjust your messaging accordingly. 🧪🦑🌎🐟 blog.ucs.org/science-blog...

The current secretary of education said that we should teach reading, writing, and math in our schools, but not ideology. Ironically, if it wasn't for the ideology that everyone deserves to learn reading, writing, and math, we wouldn't have the ability to teach that to everyone.
