The more privileged you are, the more risks you should be taking in the name of freedom, justice & liberation for all.
Exactly a year ago, armed neo nazis protested a drag event in Ohio while chanting "there will be blood." The police did nothing. Today, the police are beating college students at Ohio state for protesting against genocide.
In 2024, broadband is NOT a luxury. It is a utility and needs to be treated as such which means subsidies and public support like this. Thank you @RepLPowell and @RepAbney for making sure PA doesn’t fall through the cracks with the end of the ACP.

Protesting a genocide is not antisemitism.
Proud to know you & fight alongside you @ashleyrcomans . Cheers to you and your incredible team for building relationships and growing the movement as you campaigned. THAT’s being a bold, inclusive, progressive leader. Thank y’all for your vision, authenticity & expertise. 💜

Happy Yard Sign Removal Day, campaign staffers!
What’s better than talking about an awesome candidates with voters? Getting to see voters meet the awesome candidate herself! So glad you stopped by @ashleyrcomans 💜💜💜
I’m proud to be talking to voters today about Ashley Comans for HD34 and Summer Lee for Congress. @ashleyrcomans @SummerForPA Get to the polls friends because it’s beautiful day to elect strong, vocal, progressive leaders!
Top 3 sitcom episodes that make me laugh until I cry, no matter how many times I watch: - Parks & Rec “The Comeback Kid” (aka Pistol Pete) - The Office “Dinner Party” - Schitt’s Creek “Finding David” (That’s in no particular order bc that would be like picking a fave kid.)
If Justice says it, it’s gospel. GO VOTE! In contested primaries, I’m pulling for @ashleyrcomans @Makenzieforpa @malcolmkenyatta and @SummerForPA . They are each true to themselves while being progressive, vocal leaders and all-around lovely folks. 💞🥳

“This honestly is a monumental moment in labor history,” Tanner said. “… I hope everybody takes a minute to think about that.” And then, for one day longer, they continued to strike. unionprogress.com/2024/04/19/its…
Union households have 1.7 the median wealth of nonunion households. Union employees are about $100,000 richer than nonunion employees. Unions narrow the racial wealth gap. Union membership narrow the wealth gap between working class and college-educated households. Unionize.
Allegheny County!
Noting shows your bias more than questioning why @ashleyrcomans deserves to unseat an incumbent instead of asking why a person who never was chosen in a primary deserves to be an incumbent.

Having access to clean, safe drinking water should not be a privilege – in PA, it’s our constitutional right.
hi. did you retweet this from me? if so, awesome news - i got a tiny handful of things wrong and then kicked my own ass about it for two days, but they have been rectified now and i hereby give you THE UPDATED MAP.
back by popular demand: abortion access in the US county by county, april 2024
It’s not antisemitic to protest genocide. It’s not antisemitic to protest occupation. It’s not antisemitic to protest for a free Palestine.
Students have always risen up against apartheid and genocide. Today that legacy continues at Penn, Temple and Drexel. Free Palestine!
I’ve made peace with the fact that my politics may cost me my current adjunct post in higher ed and hinder my career prospects elsewhere. But some things are more important than a career. This is one of them. I stand with the students. I stand with Gaza. See you all at the Oval.
US Congressman @GregCasar joins the protest, calls for ceasefire “My message to the university is clear: students and faculty are not the enemy. Students and faculty are the university.”
some things we learned during the george floyd protests that you should know if you’re attending a protest—a thread 🧵:
personal note on using your privilege: i have seen white people, countless times, place themselves in front of BIPOC when police draw weapons/approach protests. it often works. do not be a person that just acknowledges their privilege, use it for good.
10. remember that we protect us. ignite this chant as a reminder to everyone present if you have to. communities are supposed to help one another. don’t be a sell out, offer support, share resources, food and water. be a kind soul.
9. use whatever privilege you have to protect others. if you see a disabled person struggling, offer to help. find medics to assist people experiencing anxiety or having a panic attack. if you see a BIPOC being harassed, surround them.
8. if you see someone being detained, what should you do: - record the interaction. police can not demand to view or delete any footage without a warrant. - use calming affirmations towards the person being detained. they are likely scared. be there for them.
The more privileged you are, the more risks you should be taking in the name of freedom, justice & liberation for all.
I love @CassGreenForPA and I love workers rights 🖤🤍❤️
No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children. You will not distract us from this immoral war.
