This is so good. Creating magnetic messaging, not "pollingism" and what the Democrats could be doing that they mainly are not. (But exceptions! @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @govpritzker.illinois.gov, @govandybeshear.bsky.social)Attract people and don't be afraid to repel!

This was a fun and provocative conversation. Stephanie Wong asked great questions that allowed me to bust many myths! You'll hear a lot of "howevers" because there's nuance when it comes to understanding gender inequality and the parenthood penalty! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaaZ...

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

Research: With all of the "back to the office" pressure, it it is worth considering that remote work has been a protective shield against harassment for women... pushing them back to the office is pushing them into hostile situations www.rotman.utoronto.ca/news-events-...
