Facilitator, educator. Basically a Joe Lo Truglio character, but always trying to undermine settler colonialism and missing Philly

“Abortive Rituals: Historical Apologies in the Global Era” by Michel-Rolph Trouillot (2000)
There are toys of Japanese monsters giving press conferences to apologize for destroying cities.
This is so rad- someone living next to a bus stop in Philly programmed an old clock to let folks know when the next bus is coming.

Our health is inherently, unequivocally interconnected. Consumer choice cannot buy us to safety and believing that it could will certainly create more harm than health (3/3)

Communication is important and when I hear someone frame material problems as communication problems I brace for the inevitable apolitical and/or consumers not citizens rant they’re holding inside

Matt Gaetz left his seat in Congress because the House Ethics Committee planned to release the report on him TOMORROW. The American people should see that report. My signal is @ kaburbank.77 and I will keep you anonymous.

This was very much the first post-wokeness Democratic campaign. It was run by a party whose top people read Matt Yglesias and gave $700 million to a PAC heavily influenced by David Shor. For this wing to act like Cassandras is beyond absurd.

This is the chart. She spent months courting Republican endorsements, riding the 2016 Clinton strategy to certain defeat. They risked it all to build a centrist party of suburbanites and college kids and lost. It’s time to move on but I don’t think the Dems will move with us.

the leftist position is that people’s positions, even if horrific, have roots in their material reality. the liberal position as best i can tell is that 20-30% of the country has an irredeemably evil soul. i guess im going with the one you could actually do something about.

Outsiders: Why is there an Elmo at this rally? Philadelphians: Yo, where'd he get those glasses?

Philly has a list of mail ballots that have errors or are undeliverable. As of today, it has 3,358 names. Issues include missing signatures and dates, no secrecy envelope, and unverifiable IDs. Find out if you're affected and how to fix your ballot. billypenn.com/2024/10/26/cur…

I’ve been at the Philly Portal for 30 minutes and it’s amazing. A guy in Lithuania approached the camera, unfolded a piece of paper and it said “GO BIRDS.” The way we all screamed!
