We recently did an activity on academic socialization with my advocacy fellows. One’s academic socialization is how families and communities use their own educational beliefs & expectations to provide messaging to their children to help navigate & influence their academic success

“For generations, politicians assumed that there will be no consequences for attacking DC…that because we don’t have a vote, that we can’t threaten their power, well they changed today.” ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 #DefendDC @freedcproject_ @51stnews

Proud to support @RobertWhite_DC & @freedcproject_ as they unveil plans to mobilize voters in key swing states!

Pipeline is finally live! After nearly a year of building, & hundreds of conversations with aspiring leaders, I built the tool I wish I’d had when I first ran for office. Thought about serving your community? Join our First 100 and get full access free: pipelineleadership.co

I’ve had the privilege of working with more than 300 leaders across the country as they prepared to run for public office. I met incredible people who wanted to lead in their communities, but didn’t know the steps to build a viable campaign. So I decided to build Pipeline.

After lots of consideration, I’ve determined that LeBron & I will not return to LA next year. While it’s been fun, I’ve determined that we deserve to be somewhere we will be appreciated. I’m not taking any questions at this time. Thank you, Brandon Best

Great message! I’m sure someone needs to hear this. instagram.com/reel/DZyPQa5OD…

I miss the Post Metro section….

Back to our regular scheduled program… last night the DC SBOE passed my resolution to build student & teacher readiness in the age of AI

DC does not need a Mayor Trump. The rights of 694,000 Americans were threatened yesterday when Donald Trump said he would take over DC if he doesn’t like who is elected. This is a direct threat to our city, our resources, our leadership and our rights as Americans. The time is now to elect leaders who can build political power to protect DC from federal overreach. #LessTalkMoreAction

The RFK Stadium project may be the most transformational development in their District’s history. We have proven we can build transit forward entertainment centers and this is an opportunity to do so again at scale. As your at-large member, I’m committed to working alongside every resident impacted and elected officials ensure we make this a stride forward for our District. #dc #ward6 #ward7 #kingmanpark #democrat #rfk #commanders

glad to see Greg Jackson out here hustling too but I was already planning to vote for him

Let's try a heavy dose of Radical Honesty: Residing and going to school in D.C.I have a front-row seat to how the City Council operates. D.C. Council races shouldn't just be an ideological purity contest or a vanity project for the most focus-grouped candidate. With our local budget autonomy under constant fire from a hostile Congress, we need leaders who know exactly how to manage complex city systems, write airtight laws, and actually track the outcomes. I’ve already officially declared that @GregoryJackson has my #1 spot on the ballot for his incredible national and local work on gun violence prevention. But under D.C.’s crowded primary system, you have to be completely strategic about who you trust with the balance of power. That is exactly why I am proud to announce that I am ranking @LisaJRaymond #2 for DC Council At-Large on my Rural Gen Z Bestselling Substack! Look, Lisa is the absolute definition of an operational executive who doesn’t need a learning curve. She has spent three decades doing the heavy, unglamorous lifting behind the scenes of D.C. governance. As the former Chief of Staff to D.C.’s first elected Attorney General, Karl Racine, and the senior education advisor to the Council, she has spent years auditing budgets and holding agencies accountable. She isn't theorizing about city infrastructure, she helped build it. Her platform brings a precise, masterclass approach to Progressive Populism: A True Education Champion: Leveraging her experience as the former SBOE President to demand real accountability for students, fully fund early childhood educators, and expand career and technical apprenticeships. Aggressive Housing Oversight: Cutting through bureaucratic red tape to build affordable housing faster across all eight wards while fiercely defending rent stabilization to stop displacement. Unyielding Home Rule Protection: Fighting back against congressional interference to shield D.C.’s budget, local laws, and reproductive healthcare options from federal overreach. We don't need performative talking heads who treat local policy like an abstract textbook. We need Greg Jackson and Lisa Raymond. Rank Greg First, and Lisa Second! substack.com/@nooneaskedbutp…

In case you’re still wondering who @GregoryJackson is… hopefully this can help.

Things I’ve learned in this race… AI is increasingly playing a role in elections. People are asking AI who should they vote for, not knowing, that a team with a strong AI SEO can train AI to respond certain ways.

RT @GIFFORDS_org: Greg Jackson is a trailblazer in the violence prevention field. As a survivor of gun violence himself and a pioneer of t…

Proud to support my friend @GregoryJackson for DC Council! Here are 7 reasons why I believe you should too! instagram.com/p/DY9eUrNke3J_…
