The State of Israel does not represent the Jewish people. The Jewish people are not responsible for the genocide. Criticism of the government of Israel is not criticism of the Jewish people.

Another incredible national park camping trip is in the books for the Teeghmen! I feel lucky beyond words to have this amazing dad I can go on these trips with each year 💚 We have camped at 20+ national parks; this year we got to revisit two of our favorites in Arches and Zion National Parks.

I went to City Council today with friends from @sierraclubchicago.bsky.social, @betterstreetschicago.org, @bikegridnow.org , @strongtownschicago.bsky.social and others with a clear message: we deserve NITA Board members who ride transit. But that’s not what we got from @mayorofchicago.bsky.social

I am disappointed to hear Roberto Requejo was not reappointed to the CTA Board. I’ve always found him to be thoughtful, knowledgeable, and passionate about improving transit. His expertise and leadership would have been invaluable as we work to bolster the CTA.

The energy at the DSA election night party feels like an earthquake just ripped through the democratic party in a way that cannot be undone. I said yesterday that there was a movement and a political renaissance happening in NYC and here we see the heart of it. Also Chelsea Manning is DJing.

Generally speaking, polls have shown the Democratic Party's problem is not being seen as too woke, but weak and ineffective. Judging by tonight's primary results, Democratic Primary voters are intent on fixing this www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

New poll: Democrats' real problem isn't being too liberal — it's being seen as too weak
Americans, including swing voters, see the Republican Party as 20 points more extreme than Democrats — and the Democrats as weak and ineffective. So why would the *Democrats* moderate?

This is why everyone who's saying "Brandon Johnson *is* Chicago's Mamdani" look so foolish. Because Mamdani built momentum and capitalized on it. Brandon Johnson built it and then cut off those who organized for him and laid himself a million rakes to step on.

NYC DSA has a level of organizing and electoral work that is clearly leading to working class wins all over the ballot. This is the strength of coalition building an a leader like Mayor Mamdani who centers government in what it can deliver, while building relationships that lead to more wins.

I say this almost every day but The MOST democratic and Democratic thing any of us can do is hold our own “team” accountable. And when we don’t, we end up in administrations like this. I like my leaders to question authority and invite criticism. If you can’t, you should step down.

We need protected bike lanes in large part because the vast majority of drivers refuse to actually check if they're clear to open their door. Charge this driver with manslaughter, some kind of reckless endangerment at the very least

INBOX: In a statement to @thedailynu.bsky.social, a Biss campaign spox acknowledged that then-prof Daniel Biss had an inappropriate (spox: "ill-advised") romantic relationship with then-undergrad Megan Wachspress. h/t my colleagues Marisa Guerra Echeverria and Jack Baker
“In 2004, when Daniel was 26 and before he met his wife, Dr. Wachspress was a 20-year-old student in a course Daniel taught during his time as a postdoctoral instructor at the University of Chicago,” a Biss campaign spokesperson wrote in a Monday night statement to The Daily. “After the course ended, Daniel and Dr. Wachspress went on a handful of dates over the course of a few weeks. Daniel realized then, as he does now, that it was ill-advised, and he ended it.”

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.
