Being able to experience my first Celebration in 2019 in Chicago with my favorite person in the world was a wonderful experience.
Can't wait to do it again in Anaheim next year.

This man, 47-year-old South African lawyer and legal scholar Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, just laid out a devastating case documenting Israel's genocidal intent in Gaza before the International Court of Justice.
A hero for Palestinians and people of conscience around the world. ๐ฟ๐ฆ โค๏ธ ๐ต๐ธ
To date, there is not a single person who supported Bernie's presidential campaign who has been nominated or appointed by Biden to any office, at any level. None. Not one.
But please keep going on about the importance of "unity" in the "big tent" Democratic Party.
Last night, in the dead of night, 40 Democratic senators, including
@CoryBooker
, voted to confirm a man to a prominent ambassadorship who covered up the police murder of a Black child.
Shameful doesn't begin to capture it.
In 2014, the Chicago Police Department and Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) lied about the murder of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.
In 2021, the Chicago Police Department and Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) lied about the murder of 13-year-old Adam Toledo.
There's no "reforming" this.
The treatment of Rashida Tlaib by the Democratic Party - for the crime of defending the humanity of all people - has been nothing less than disgraceful.
The Democratic Party is a complete moral failure on every level.
There were personal birthday messages from George Lucas, Mark Hamill, and then out walks Rey Skywalker herself, Daisy Ridley.
Also pictured: Daisy watching John conduct The Imperial March.
This has easily been one of the best nights of my life.
@0liviajulianna
Your arguments about "harm reduction" voting would probably carry more weight if your cover photo wasn't you literally standing grinning ear to ear with Kamala Harris.
Just a suggestion for the next time you launch a lecture thread directed at Left independents.

@RepJeffries
You can't name a single falsehood in her remarks because there are none. Instead of trying to silence any criticism of 75 years of occupation, dispossession, apartheid, and brutality, maybe you should spend more time working to end these crimes.
#FreePalestine
Rep. James Clyburn downplayed President Bidenโs loss of support among Black voters, saying that Bidenโs win in South Carolina demonstrates that he still has a strong base among Black Americans.
@jeremyscahill
Under the leadership of Joe Biden, the United States has helped to carry out a campaign of genocidal annihilation in Gaza while - at the same time - unleashing police state repression and violence against those peacefully protesting against it at home.
What a legacy!
@washingtonpost
You're right, Mike. Pointing out that your wife is working at a school that engages in blatant discrimination - including against children - is really what is most offensive here.
@thenation
You know what's "unfortunate"? The constant simping The Nation does for a corporate political party that is dedicated to the interests of wealth. Are your political imaginations really so limited, or is it more a reflection of ultimately knowing who butters your bread?
@EoinHiggins_
Tomorrow, the Buttigieg campaign will say that approximately 40% of these students are Black. Of those, 100% endorsed his "Douglass Plan."
I know
@AlphonsoDavid
.. He has alway fought for justice. He is also a wonderful human being. Why after an internal review which clears Alphonso would anyone ask for his resignation.
@KyleKulinski
Remember when he straight-up lied and said it was a Russian rocket that landed in Poland, knowing full well that it came from Ukraine, and did so to trigger a larger escalation, perhaps even WWIII? I remember that.
@blakeflayton
Apartheid "Israel's" national security minister thinks that Baruch Goldstein is a hero because he murdered 29 Palestinian men and boys. Maybe you should concern yourself with that.
@thehill
Laquan McDonald was murdered by the Chicago Police Department in 2014 - a murder that Mayor Rahm Emanuel then tried to cover up.
Here's President Obama campaigning for Emanuel's reelection months later, in 2015.
I really hope that
@HamillHimself
and
@TheFrankOzJam
take this show on the road for those of us who don't reside in NYC. Seriously though, what a cool event!
@mattyglesias
@daveweigel
That was real slick to include a press release from the previous Congress, in 2017, Matt.
Maybe you should familiarize yourself with the bill that was introduced this year.
In January, the new Republican House majority will accuse
@IlhanMN
of being an anti-Semite - because she believes that Palestinians deserve dignified lives and has been willing to criticize AIPAC - and will remove her from the Foreign Affairs Committee.
@AdamSerwer
Who wants to remind Trump that it was his
@TheJusticeDept
that argued before the Supreme Court that businesses have a constitutional right to refuse service. I guess they only like refusals when they target marginalized communities.
@NikkiHaley
Palestinians - living under a regime of occupation and dispossession for 75 years - have a right to self-defense against the forces of Kahanist ethnic cleansing.
Remember: In 2008, the runner-up for the Democratic presidential nomination was eventually named Secretary of State, this despite the fact that she supported the most disastrous foreign policy decision of the 21st century.
@RepSlotkin
This is such a weak sauce after-the-fact justification. Norman's floor speech was entirely devoted to anti-LGBTQ arguments. Literally none of your other Democratic colleagues except one fell for it.
In more than 130 days, Bono - the man who wrote "Sunday Blood Sunday" and has become a favorite among the global ruling class - hasn't found it within himself to say so much as two words about the genocidal slaughter of children in Gaza.
Get bent,
@U2

@CaseStudyQB
"Difficult districts," like those destroyed by the neo-liberal economic policies of Bill Clinton? Hillary lost every county in West Virginia to Bernie in 2016.
Yes, literally every single county in the state.
@SummerForPA
To even acknowledge that Palestinians are human beings entitled to even the most basic and fundamental human rights is a bridge too far for these apartheid apologists.
How is this language any different than Trump talking about Obama? Dismissing
@Indiawaltonbflo
as an โinexperienced radical socialist.โ
@MayorByronBrown
is literally his own version of the Big Lie โ mounting a write-in campaign against Sis. Walton.
@kenyonfarrow
@daveweigel
The only thing that Hillary is truly passionate about is punching left.
It didn't work against Jamaal Bowman last year (in a district where her endorsement actually meant something) and it isn't going to work against Nina this year.
@sportjames23
@0liviajulianna
I'm literally supporting a Black man who has dedicated his life to the justice struggle. In contrast, you're supporting the father of modern mass incarceration in America, but please go off.
The irony of a civil rights institute rescinding plans to honor someone because that person supports a boycott to challenge systemic human rights abuses should be lost on no one,
