Y’all, here is an important addendum to Booker’s by-the-numbers press release —a cogent opinion piece by the #Inquirer’s #WillBunch that ties it all together. Must-read, gift link via my Inky sub.
A new #WillBunch piece in the #Inquirer puts into eloquent prose why those numbers cited in #CoryBooker’s press release matter and how it will motivate voters and electeds alike. Must-read via this gift link courtesy of my Inky sub. #Democracy #GoodTrouble #USpol
Booker’s message was powerful and simple: Just do something. Now it’s your turn
A senator's record-breaking speech showed #Democrats, and America, that silence is not an option in the #Trump era
@GottaLaff #WillBunch is a national treasure.
@GottaLaff It’s good to make a difference, and I’m lucky it’s so close by. Fun fact: #WillBunch covered our protest last weekend, and #Maddow featured it on one of her segments on Thursday. @indivisibleteam
Must read by #WillBunch- with this staggering and so sad statistic—“military service is now the number 1 predictor for mass casualty violence” - read that again and understand it means our military industrial complex is our OWN national security threat” When will it end???

https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/new-orleans-las-vegas-attacks-causes-20250105.html “Two important things linger in the haze of pyrotechnics and death over Las Vegas and New Orleans. The first and most immediate is the clear intent for Trump and his allies to shamelessly use both justifiable fear and deliberate falsehoods, in an increasingly ill- or -uninformed America, to gain acceptance for their political agenda of starting 2025 with mass deportations of immigrants who had nothing to do with this.”

From #WillBunch: But there is no Trump mandate. Instead, there is a mandate that’s waiting to be tapped over anger and frustration over a broken society that was met with radio silence in our $16 billion election. The horror stories about United Healthcare and insurance denials are just the tip of the iceberg. #GiftLink https://share.inquirer.com/NfKUnj

"MSNBC has its flaws, but can you imagine TV news with no liberal voices at all? If you lived through the Iraq War, 2002-3, you can...and it was bad for America
Is Comcast's MSNBC spinoff a prelude for an oligarch (Musk?) takeover, like Orban's Hungary? My new column." www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Republicans and the right to lie. This is an excellent take on the scary place we find ourselves.
How NYC’s Eric Adams demolished the myth of the ‘law-and-order mayor’ https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/eric-adams-mayor-indicted-policing-20240929.html
Today, if Eric Adams has taught us anything, it is that the continued promise of the “law-and-order” political leader is always a lie — that his core value is not really enhanced public safety but a hypocritical two-tiered system on which the repression of everyday people goes hand in glove with nonstop bacchanalia of luxury perks for the elite few.
"Some have spoken of a #PalestinianException to #CampusFreeSpeech because of the sensitive accusations that have included both antisemitism and Islamophobia. But experts who focus on #AcademicFreedom say problems were brewing well before last Oct 7, speaking to six decades of radical change in #USHigherEducation." - #WillBunch
