Good intentions are not enough. Organizers need tangible tools.

On Tuesday, we helped score massive wins for our democracy — but we’re not done yet! There’s still one more election to win this year and it’s in Tennessee.
@aftynbehn.bsky.social, a state representative and former Indivisible group leader, is running in a special election to flip #TN07.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

I get why people are upset about SCOTUS putting a temp freeze on SNAP funding. But Justice Ketanji Brown’s move is more strategic than it sounds—she said the 1st Circuit Court should rule first. Trump skipped that step and went straight to SCOTUS. See article for full context….1

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
