I’m unsure why but Friday & Saturday are our worst fundraising days.😳

So here’s my ask:
•If you’ve already donated—can you boost this toot?
•If you haven’t donated—can you donate $11? (or what’s in your budget).

We are 100% people funded in our run for US Congress in IL-11 — and our opponent is funded by corporations & billionaires.

We ONLY win with you! Donate: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/qasim-founding-donor

Today is the 103rd anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Remember—it only gave white women voting rights. BIPOC women waited decades more:
•1920: White Women
•1952: Asian Women
•1962: Native Women
•1965: Black Women
•1975: Latino Women

We must continue to protect voting rights. We have immense work to do yet.

Here’s the story of how a 37-follower Twitter account seeded a propaganda narrative about Hawaii that made headlines around the world, thanks to a network of right-wing influencers — and amplification by both Russian and Chinese state media.

My latest — a very deep dive into a coordinated campaign:

Really, this is also a matter of social psychology.

Did you know that people have a remarkably high tolerance for being thought of as animals unless they are also forced to think about their mortality?

Yet they are somewhat more comfortable thinking about their mortality otherwise. Humans are remembered, you see.

I am an animal, and I am mortal. I make peace with the great terror. Every life, great and small, let us remember them, too.

I wish this platform would default accept my #CamelCase tags. It takes extra effort to back up and make #climateemergency into #ClimateEmergency

This is needed from readers and screen readers. If you know a bit of how children learn to read it carries over to how people read and Camel Case is just helpful for any tag without spaces to delimit the words. Make reading easier for all folks. #CurbCutEffect

Steve Bannon is now issuing threats to people holding Trump accountable

"I keep saying the J6 thing with President Trump in Georgia. We're gonna ram the stealing of Georgia, down her throat. And we're going to ram it up the a** of the governor…

“That's the revolution of 1776 right there!”

Remember when threats like these were illegal?

I’m sad that she’s decided that she’s done making comics, but also, this is a FANTASTIC interview!

After almost six months of work, I'm proud to finally present my integrated commuter rail map of New York City and Philadelphia!

Showing five different commuter rail systems (#CTRail, #MetroNorth, #LIRR, #NJTransit, and #SEPTA), this map depicts everywhere a passenger can get to by train from NYC or Philadelphia without using Amtrak.

This is by far the most complicated map I've ever made, but I'm incredibly happy with the result!

We got:
- Situations
- Sense-impressions
- Money

AND NOW FEATURING, FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY:
- Pandas
- Sentient life
- Tacos

A billion dollars is an obscene amount of money that one does not acquire without causing significant harm to people and planet. Billionaires should not exist.

@Mary625 Reagan was a union member before he came to power, and then once he got to the presidency, he broke the unions, let gay people die, had scandal after scandal, and was just overall a terrible person.

#Introduction: I’m a television writer based in Los Angeles and a father to two amazing little girls. I’m never going to be a volume poster, but in addition to posting about live music, TV, food, books, and the weird things my kids do, I’m working on some ideas to combine my comedy writer background with my stupid love of ham bands.

Why was there no water to fight the fire in Maui?

"Big corporations, golf courses and hotels have been taking water from locals for years. Now the fire may result in even more devastating water theft."

"All over Maui, golf courses glisten emerald green, hotels manage to fill their pools and corporations stockpile water to sell to luxury estates. And yet, when it came time to fight the fires, some hoses ran dry. Why?"

"This is a classic case of the most craven disaster capitalism: a small elite group using a profound human tragedy as their window to roll back a hard-won grassroots victory for water rights, while removing civil servants who pose a political inconvenience to the administration’s pro-developer agenda."...
