Thunderous, powerful call to action from @grayson_brandi, keynoting Madison’s final Juneteenth celebration
She starts by quoting this article. Which you should now read. theweek.com/articles-amp/8…
Meet today’s Juneteenth award winner: Nazir Andruss, Madison high school student and founder of the nonprofit Mentoring, Inc. His mentees are here to celebrate. Help Nazir’s work by kicking in some dough for his driver’s ed here: gofundme.com/i039m-raising-…
And there’s another surprise award winner: @grayson_brandi, who is—among many things!—one of Nazir’s mentors.
To close out the day: fashion show by African and American Fits: anafits.com

🚨THREAD: Trump in Wisconsin TODAY. The tipping-point state. Dem national convention starts here in exactly one year. Trump wants a head start. Our job: build a grassroots juggernaut to stop him. @wisdems have a plan. Time for a #CHEDDARBOMB! RT & donate: wisdems.org/1year
The stakes in WI: Huge.

"The entire election probably comes down to who wins Wisconsin" – @joshtpm
"AZ & WI strike me as the likeliest to be decisive 'tipping point' states" – @Redistrict
The ultimate toss-up state, swinging the electoral college – this @prioritiesUSA analysis
Wisconsin is on a knife's edge.

Trump won here in 2016 with 22,748 votes, out of nearly 3 million. 0.7% margin.

In 2018, Dems won the governorship (yay!) by 29,227 votes. 1.1% margin.

In 2019, GOP won state Supreme Court race by 5,981 votes. 0.5% margin.

It'll be CLOSE.

Partisan gerrymanders elect GOP legislators.
GOP legislators pass voter suppression laws.
Voter suppression laws elect GOP president.
GOP president nominates GOP SCOTUS justices.
GOP SCOTUS justices enshrine partisan gerrymanders.
In business, this would be called a “flywheel” or a “virtuous circle.” But nothing about it is virtuous. It entrenches minority rule at every step.
Oh, missed a step: GOP Senators representing a minority of the population confirm GOP scotus justices.

Students, parents, teachers, and school board members have marched—from Milwaukee, from rural Wisconsin, mile after mile, to Madison to fight for public education funding. And now, here we are at the Capitol. The Assembly votes on the budget *today.*
It’s a beautiful summer day. It’s a beautiful protest, standing for values that unite blue and red Wisconsin—the idea that kids are worth investing in. But what the GOP is cooking inside that building? Not beautiful.
“Parents shouldn’t worry about how to get their kids into a “good school”—EVERY school should be a good school.” – Raven, Milwaukee public Schools student

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

@FLOTUS @outlawjw @WhiteHouse 1/ @FLOTUS FASHION THREAD Her tfits tell a story &hold symbolic meaning. It's a fun puzzle to solve. See her belt trolls the UK, that has a similar knotted belt in the crest.They have no power over Trump anymore due to FISA threat. We are independent.They're in desperate PANIC
@FLOTUS @outlawjw @WhiteHouse 2/ This dress on @flotus looked like a bell. In Funeral colors, @librarycongress . Think literature...For Whom the Bell Tolls. Famous line : It tolls for Thee. How many 'thees' PANICKED when seeing this? Author Donne died in 1631 - Digits sum to 11 Marker . Visible Q.
@FLOTUS @outlawjw @WhiteHouse @librarycongress 3/ Interesting that this reference is so close to Julian Assange being "washed away" from Europe. Will the EU and UK suffer loss when he testifies here in the US? Also relates to Trump's related tweet about EU/UK/USA relations. We have the upper hand via FISA DECLASS imminent.
