i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Justice Democrats have shown what’s possible when we fight alongside working people and raise expectations about what politics can be.

I’m proud to have their support as we build a movement to take on the oligarchs and win real power for the working class.
Excited to announce our newest endorsement: @claireforqueens.bsky.social in #NY07!

Workers deserve it all & #NY07 deserves Claire—who'll bring the whole might of organized labor power to Congress.

Let's ensure this seat is a tool for workers to take their power back from the billionaire class.

The library ebook business is such a scam. Good to see dem state lawmakers are considering banding together to negotiate fairer deals.
Are you currently 480th in line for an e-book and wondering why @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social doesn't just ... buy more copies?

The short answer: e-books are incredibly expensive. But D.C. lawmakers have a plan to curb the excessive pricing from publishers, @maustermuhle.bsky.social reports:
Libraries can't afford e-books. D.C. lawmakers have a plan.
The demand and price for e-books is up — and it’s busting the D.C. Public Library budget.

The fascist government gave ICE a massive funding increase which they’re using to wage war on cities, murder citizens and kidnap immigrants.

Senate Democrats response is to offer them more funding.

It’s time to abolish the two party system.

Publishing the names of protesters and contacting their employers to have them fired for exercising their rights is a tactic straight out of the White Citizens Councils.
They're going to start using the Kirk witch hunt strategy.

Last year's arrest of Mahmoud Khalil was more than just a chilling act of political repression, it was an attack on all of our constitutional rights. Now, as the crackdown on pro-Palestinian free speech continues, Mahmoud is being threatened with rearrest. Mahmoud is free—and must remain free.

Your read of the day. So much out there about how ICE is marauding its way through Minneapolis but very little about grass roots resistance. Here I speak to a teacher on the front lines and he breaks down the *numbers* of people involved in resisting ICE. Chills.
