There are less than 100 trans athletes in the NCAA—that’s out of tens of thousands. 100. Politicians should not legislate this, it should be left to the governing bodies of sports leagues 🧵

it's wild listening to old folks who entered academia in the 70s. full scholarships, grants to travel the world, robust humanities departments, tenure, pensions. they spend their peaceful twilight years in million dollar homes. while today's academics have no job security, career path, or savings

You shouldn’t need a GoFundMe to survive cancer. You shouldn’t work 40+ hours and still be poor. You shouldn’t die waiting for healthcare in the richest country on Earth. This ain’t radical. It’s righteous. It’s time to fight for what we deserve: single-payer healthcare.

"...for protests to succeed, they must be backed by movements with the ability to promise to withhold—labor, debt payments, rent payments, or consumer support—and to follow through if demands aren’t met." Glad to have gotten the opportunity to push this line in Time time.com/collections/...

Consider this. 6 people in plainclothes approach you, and begin to cover their faces. At least one appears armed. As they grab your phone and backpack, they do not prove who they are. They say they're going to take you, but they're not saying why. What would you call that?

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

A picture of Neri Alvarado, a young man, standing next to his brother, who is a young teenager. Both are smiling for the camera and wearing matching shirts. Neri has his arm around his brother.

Things COVID has proven: 1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely. 2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to. 3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury. 4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

We don’t if they were gang members, only that Trump’s DOJ says they were. But they’ve had no trials. They are “accused.” They are “alleged” to be members of a gang that Trump has named. And now they are vanished. This is an actual nightmare and we should be up in arms.

@mattyglesias
The way you "stop Republicans" is to beat them in elections by having party leaders adopt more moderate stances on key issues and take a big tent approach to candidate recruitment. That Republicans do bad things when they win is the reason why progressives should embrace this.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

My statement on the leadership of Senator Schumer and Congressman Jeffries ⬇️

The best time for Senator Schumer and Representative Jeffries to step down from their roles in leadership was immediately after Democrats lost the House, Senate, White House and the popular vote in November, which hadn’t happened in 20 years.

The second best time for them to step down would be right now, after allowing Republicans to run over them in budget negotiations.

As Republicans hold a trifecta, it was their Party’s responsibility to pass a budget and get the votes to keep the government running, not the Democratic Party.

Yet, under the leadership of both Representative Jeffries and Senator Schumer, Democrats are yet again being pushed around by Republicans, which will result in working class Americans being harmed by the Republican Party’s budget.

As I travel this country, I hear from people and overwhelmingly, working class Americans are growing frustrated with the feeble leadership of the Democratic Party.

People want an end to the billionaire influence over our politics, universal healthcare, tuition-free college, living wages, housing for all, making corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and a political party that fights for these things.

It’s time for, not just a change in leadership, but a new direction.

In what job are you allowed to come up short like Democrats did in November and no one in leadership has been changed? Outside of the DNC chair, nothing has changed. House leadership is the same. Senate leadership is the same. Do the same, get the same.
