Any “rebuild” of the Democratic Party must include getting corporate influences OUT. GONE. From leadership to primaries: GONE.
If not, it’s a waste of time, rearranging the chairs on the titanic.
Most states aren’t wholly “red” or “blue.” Treating them as such is a big problem. I’m from the Midwest and have lived all over this godforsaken country. It’d be cool if everybody could check their bullshit about “rural,” “middle,” etc.

MAGA wants transparency in the government so Biden should release every single little piece of information on Donald Trump and his friends.
All of it.

Kamala literally said i will give yall a $6000 tax credit for the first year of your child’s life & $25,000 the first time you buy a home.
And people said Trump, who wants to lower taxes for the wealthiest earners, is going to make them rich again. You can’t make this up.

We didn't need safety pins
We didn't need pink hats
We didn't need blue bracelets
We didn't need marches
We didn't even need Zooms
We needed you to get granny, antie, sister, daughter, cousin, mama, memaw, mamaw to the doggone voting booth.
Amazing how educators, with all that low pay and the simple intention to assist students in developing basic life competency, are the scapegoat for billionaires. Curious. Not at all suspicious.
Yesterday I noticed many of my colleagues who have the most to lose being available as frightened students came to their offices. We probably cannot calculate how many lives have been saved by the teachers whose own lives are endangered.

Colleges & universities adopting institutional neutrality policies are acceding to & complicit with right-wing assaults on institutions and are ensuring that higher ed will never have a chance at having moral authority as we edge closer to our autocratic dystopian near future. 🧵
