Rev. Jesse Jackson understood the immense promise of America and his role in shaping its destiny. With courage, tenacity & an audacious spirit, he widened our capacity for imagining true unity and deepened our commitment to justice. I was one of the lucky beneficiaries of a vision he never forsook.

Writing is thinking.
It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

It’s easy to think writing is mainly the transcription of ideas you already have—that is, until you try to write something worthwhile, and you find what you thought were saying transform into something far more interesting in the process. This skips that last step, and that is *not* an improvement.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Control of the House isn't going to come down to a small number of close races; the military seizing ballots would lead to riots in the streets; the "incumbent Republican majority" will be dissolved on January 3rd so it won't be there to do anything.

When you say shit like this, you need to run some math. How many ICE agents are there? How many military folks, & how many of them do you think would take up arms against citizens exercising their right to vote? And how many Americans will take kindly to being told they can’t vote?
I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

Trump wants fascism but hasn't figured out how to solve the Country Too Big problem. He has enough goons and federal agents to gum up a couple American cities but not enough for the number of people who hate him, he can't arrest every journalist, the scare tactics are upsetting but ultimately anemic

Wow! I can’t believe we got this done! Now call your senators and tell them restrictions are nice, but they should strip the BBB funding of ICE and CBP.
🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.
