One of the most important concepts: “Budgets are value statements.”

@umichvoter Both?

Can we collectively agree to ignore exit polls or we anxious

@umichvoter @skywaker9 Or Pitt

@skywaker9 lol michigan has a 15,000 advantage heading into e-day we got this

@umichvoter @skywaker9 Not to rain on your parade here but UPenn is private

@michaelcdeibert The clip they are passing around with Amish buggies and Trump signs isn’t even from here. You can see a Kroger in the background.

@academicdave 🤣 They don't even have any idea about the place or the people...

As someone who grew up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, this attempt & this sign shows such a basic lack of understanding of the entire "Our kingdom is not of this world" Amish view of life & politics. Photo by Blaine Shahan.

Trump blocking traffic in Lancaster on a Sunday morning preventing people from getting to church is an interesting political choice. Just ended up directing traffic for 45 minutes outside my house.

@ElectProject In case you didn’t know One slight pedantic point about PA voting. We have psuedo early voting although data wise it all looks like mail. You can at many places walk into county office request a mail ballot and fill it out and turn it in there.

This seems about right to me. Mail balloting is breaking heavily Democratic. PA doesn't have in-person early voting and MI has a permanent absentee ballot list...

@stevemagness And I say this as someone who actively practices Brads phone shabbos.

@academicdave Yes. That I agree with. THe focus is too narrowly on kids when it should be broader.

Social media concerns aren't a moral panic. It's strange to hear this argument. During the 90s video game panic, kids would tell you: We're not dumb. We can distinguish between Mortal Kombat & reality Ask kids about phones? They'll say everyone (including adults) is addicted

@stevemagness And the push is to ban or restrict kids. When often I find the students I teach are more reflective on this than adults. Real social harm being done. But banning kids isn’t going to address the issues.

@stevemagness So we say ban phones in school (an outright ban probably not good solution) vs something like regulating the companies in meaningful ways.

@stevemagness I think this frame though shows how part of it is a moral panic (full agree it’s an issue). We often frame it as “protect the kids.” And fixes are often focused on “kids” which is a key component of media moral panics, which blinds us to the better broader social fixes.

@BisforBerkshire If I was up in a swing district I would go exactly this. “Their vision is straight out of 2025.” Even though it precedes it.

@academicdave Me too!

Will be interesting to see if GOP backlash vs Project 2025 will extend to the Project 2025-ing of public schools playing out in red states. Looking forward to hearing Gov Abbott explain how the *education savings accounts* he's trying to pass differ from p. 322. (They don't)

@jonbecker This was the strangest part to me.

@got80s Yes I’m still looking for a code if you have one

@jonbecker Blame Musk

Twitter has become more garbage lately. But I stick around for 🧵 like this. Read this Becker is right.

@BlackSmithIzzy @savthorpe In my religion at the end of every year we throw a party where we celebrate the ten richest people in the world. We give them trophies for winning at capitalism. Then we take all their money away and they have to start again.

The girls 4x800 takes 5th place at New Balance Nationals in a time of 9:07.66 to earn All-American status!! No other 4x800 relay team in league history has ever broke 9:10. These girls did it 3 times this year!!

The #PABudget is due on June 30th. We have an obligation to pass a moral budget that reflects the just economic power and sustainability we deserve. That's why we urged @PaSenate last week in Harrisburg to fund education, #WholeHomesRepair, #RaiseTheWage, and end preemption!
