Jun 10, 2022 6:33 PM	RT @teicherj: If you have been dismayed by the reports of the undemocratic ward election in the 46th, please sign this petition ASAP. We'll be presenting it to the Democratic City Committee tomorrow: https://t.co/e45lvWJy6l	0	11149
Jun 10, 2022 2:49 PM	RT @reclaimphila: Help support Sergio Cea and the 23 duly elected Committee People in the 46th who are fighting for an open and democratic ward! Sign and share -- especially if you live and vote in the 46th Ward! https://t.co/WPEnt5SFnY	0	11151

Jun 10, 2022 12:45 PM	Sign this petition to tell the Democratic City Committee you want to see a fair democratic process in the 46th Ward. https://t.co/Ozq98npmeC	14	11150
Jun 10, 2022 10:12 AM	RT @formadeluchar: The push to make the ward “more transparent and inclusive” is supported by 23 of 46 committee people, several people in the group said, and the coalition planned to nominate Sergio Cea as ward leader. Our 23 majority is more than the opposition # announced in the ward reorg 👀 https://t.co/RcBx8bBYib	0	11151
Jun 10, 2022 9:31 AM	RT @teicherj: Rachelle's points of order were never acknowledged. In this video, a Blackwell supporter rips the mic from Rachelle's hands. Two minutes after this moment, there was a floor vote for Blackwell. We were not able to nominate. https://t.co/BOIYnfoLNc	0	11151
Jun 10, 2022 9:28 AM	RT @teicherj: In Billy Penn, Butkovitz claims Blackwell won because we "refused to make a nomination." False. In this video, Rachelle Faroul says, "I intend to make another nomination after the points of order that I made are acknowledged, which they have not yet been." https://t.co/ldWZYPzHtz https://t.co/RgybJvLiRi	0	11151
Jun 9, 2022 5:57 PM	RT @rw_briggs: Progressives saying Jannie Blackwell strong-armed her way into staying on as ward leader My money would be on the local Democratic party doing zip about it...much like when it emerged years ago that her primary residence wasn't in the 46th Ward https://t.co/TPeIIa7FOv	0	11149
Jun 9, 2022 3:13 PM	RT @lizzies21: Why would anyone believe that 46th Ward progressives were organized enough to build and elect a majority coalition to the Democratic Ward committee but not organized enough to choose a candidate for Ward Leader? Why would you print this obvious lie, @PhillyInquirer? https://t.co/Z4TkzLpnHx	0	11148

Jun 9, 2022 1:50 PM	RT @pmgentry: I’ve seen so many journalists interact with the Ward 46 story on twitter, but days later haven’t seen anything published. One hopes things are still brewing, but it’s very disappointing not to have timely local reporting on important issues. https://t.co/vVUh3VD7tP	0	11148
Jun 9, 2022 1:03 PM	RT @teicherj: To be clear @KYWNewsradio: The 23 of us in the open ward coalition—the majority of people in the room—were united behind @formadeluchar for ward leader. We were prevented from nominating him. This account is inaccurate: https://t.co/gE3X2G6hfi https://t.co/uvzH6tS6rk	0	11146
Jun 9, 2022 1:02 PM	RT @teicherj: Once we realized @CouncilwomanJLB had no intention of addressing our objections and following the rules, several members of our coalition tried to nominate @formadeluchar, but were not recognized. Shame on @AlanButkovitz for this misrepresentation: https://t.co/Rn8gveAjpO https://t.co/2JEqIN1LAQ	0	11146
Jun 8, 2022 2:02 PM	RT @formadeluchar: Blackwell declared herself winner with a 21 minority over the loud protests of a coalition of 23 new and incumbent committee ppl who were set to nominate me as the new WL and possibly the first openly queer WL in Philly's history 🌈 1/11	0	11140
Jun 8, 2022 12:42 PM	RT @R_A_Hancock: Lost in the ward re-organization meeting discussion: it is not just a dispute over ideology or new vs old but it is ultimately a dispute between those that are willing to do the work to increase voter turnout vs those that have largely failed to increase turnout in past cycles.	0	11140
Jun 8, 2022 12:31 PM	RT @lizzies21: If you have any familiarity with the Ward system, this is a clear and believable account of a last-ditch effort to uphold the status quo in the 46th Ward at all costs, including the democratic process. So what are you going to do, @PHLDems? https://t.co/2h0QhUqlwQ	0	11140
Jun 8, 2022 10:50 AM	RT @mollyhartman: This is not my ward, but I’m seeing the classic establishment playbook of grasping onto power using tricks; accusing reformers of rulebreaking; and then calling any dissent within the Party “infighting” that will distract from defeating Rs in the general. What are they afraid of? https://t.co/0TjrKZTvuR	0	11138
Jun 8, 2022 10:48 AM	RT @rawnjawn: .@PHLDems are spending more energy fighting leftists while doing nothing against fascist Republicans who present an existential threat. This is not the type of leadership Philly's working class communities need in this moment https://t.co/HwFLwhWpPn	0	11138
Jun 8, 2022 10:39 AM	RT @pmgentry: Hey, look at the Democratic Party refusing to acknowledge the results of a fair and free election in my ward. https://t.co/H8sw9dBcPv	0	11138
Jun 8, 2022 10:38 AM	RT @Will_Bunch: Philly Democratic machine politics still stuck in the 19th century https://t.co/lJdLFv0B11	0	11138
Jun 8, 2022 10:27 AM	RT @pdubb96: I ran for committee person in 46-17 in hopes of opening the ward and holding the party accountable to the electorate. I’m disgusted with what I saw at the ward reorganization meeting last night. 200+ people voted for @teicherj and I, and neither of us were afforded a vote for WL. https://t.co/p4P97BV1ob	0	11137
Jun 8, 2022 10:20 AM	RT @JimBoggia: As newly elected committeeperson in Philly 24-08, I call upon @PHLDems & @BobBradyPHL to address the illegitimate election for Ward Leader in the 46th last night & to take action against Jannie Blackwell, Alan Butkovitz & others who engaged in cheating & physical threats. https://t.co/zajdd33tvc	0	11137
Jun 8, 2022 10:20 AM	RT @OsagameBeth: As a lifelong Democrat and recently re-elected Committeeperson in the @phillyfirstward I’m disgusted by this We should defend Democracy, not subvert it @PHLDems @PADems @AlGiordano @marcstier @Will_Bunch https://t.co/yzgAWOlKu4	0	11137
Jun 8, 2022 10:17 AM	RT @DGromko: Calling this sham of democracy in West Philly “Trumpian” is wildly understating it. Ward election officials did not even allow an opposition candidate to run against their pick. This is the Democratic Party of Philadelphia that we have to defeat. https://t.co/r81cPNSG4Z	0	11137
Jun 8, 2022 10:09 AM	RT @teicherj: Last night's reorganization meeting in the 46th ward was a mockery of the democratic process. The Democratic Party proved they'll do anything—including intimidation, violence, fraud—to hold on to power. Here's a full account of what happened. https://t.co/e3hgQMX9rK	0	11137
Jun 8, 2022 8:46 AM	RT @PhillyDSA: Last night, wards held reorganization meetings across the city. Most proceeded democratically. But in the 46th ward in West Philly, the Democratic machine used a blatantly undemocratic sham “election” to maintain its grip on power. Read the full release below. https://t.co/z9gqUl7uam	0	11135
Jun 8, 2022 8:46 AM	RT @ResearchPhilly: Very hard to trust the Philly Democratic Party to do what's needed to protect our elections from fascists or boost turnout to prevent a Christian nationalist from being governor when this is how @PHLDems Vice Chair Jannie Blackwell handles a ward leader election. https://t.co/3QKMtZOusF	0	11135

Jun 7, 2022 7:43 PM	The Democratic City Committee has gone to great lengths to maintain power in the 46th ward – from attempting to knock progressive candidates for committee person off the ballot to supporting opponents of socialists Paul Prescod and Rick Krajewski.	21	11127
Jun 7, 2022 7:43 PM	Ward leaders will play a crucial role in upcoming elections. So, @PHLDems and @BobBradyPHL: Will the party support democratic order and progressive candidates? Or will they uphold the result of a stolen local election and continue down a path of self-destruction?	24	11127
Jun 7, 2022 7:43 PM	We're outraged that the Democratic Party chose to disenfranchise duly elected committee people. Watch Democratic City Committee lawyer @AlanButkovitz accuse open ward advocates of “using Gestapo tactics” for asserting their right to vote. https://t.co/jrZV0inyZc	20	11127

Jun 7, 2022 7:42 PM	Blackwell and her supporters used physical force to get their way, wrestling a microphone from the hands of an open ward advocate to prevent her from nominating @formadeluchar for ward leader. https://t.co/ifpO5TUvVP	20	11127
Jun 7, 2022 7:42 PM	In violation of Party rules, no nominations for another ward leader were accepted; fewer than half the attending committee people were permitted to vote; points of order were ignored. Incumbent Jannie Blackwell declared herself victorious despite receiving a minority of votes.	24	11127
Jun 7, 2022 7:37 PM	When led by socialists or progressives, open wards can be a powerful tool in selecting bold candidates and mobilizing communities ahead of elections. This means better Dems can win in primaries, and we can maximize voter turnout in the general.	22	11127
Jun 7, 2022 7:37 PM	Meetings held by open wards are open to all registered voters, not just a small clique. And in open wards, bylaws and procedural rules can be amended by committee people to make a fairer and more democratic process.	24	11127
Jun 7, 2022 7:37 PM	Each ward that voted to open last night is a significant victory for democracy in a city known for its culture of corruption in local politics. While the establishment is hellbent on warding off progressives up and down the ballot, we’re fighting for change – and we’re winning.	25	11127
Jun 7, 2022 7:37 PM	What does it mean for a ward to be “open?” In open wards, all committee people – not just ward leaders – can vote on endorsements. Committee people act as liaisons to the Party for their neighbors, so it’s vitally important candidates are chosen with their input.	31	11127
Jun 7, 2022 7:37 PM	Philly DSA and @reclaimphila ran 183 candidates for committee person in hopes of opening wards and bringing progressive voices to these hyperlocal seats. Last night, committee people across the city succeeded in opening their wards, marking HUGE wins for the movement!	81	11127
Jun 7, 2022 7:37 PM	Congratulations to wards 15, 24, and 39 for voting to open and to wards 1, 2, and establishment stronghold 18 for remaining open. We’re celebrating newly-elected, progressive ward leaders who will bring forth a new era of democracy in Philly. https://t.co/8jBdXF2u3J	32	11127

Jun 5, 2022 11:54 AM	RT @KaiDavisPerson: Philly is the poorest and one of the blackest major cities in America in a mostly red state with very lax gun laws. This violence we are seeing is the result of generations of predatory capitalism and racism. The city is in crisis and we are grieving constantly	0	11108
