It& #39;s amazing to me to see #mapoli savvy-types claim that @edmarkey & #39;s embrace of @aoc and the #greennewdeal came as some kind of surprise.

It was the most natural thing in the world -- for him, and for AOC. https://twitter.com/stephanie_murr/status/1300074513439350784">https://twitter.com/stephanie...
Ed and @AOC are kindred spirits, in that they a. make good trouble, and b. are serious about doing the actual work. AOC is *prepared* for hearings. She& #39;s conscientious. She makes coalitions, sometimes to the frustration of her leftist fanbase.

IOW, she& #39;s serious about power. 2/
The @EdMarkey campaign has done a masterful job of digging up old footage, riffing off of Ed& #39;s epic, anti-establishment 1976 "desk" ad, ad infinitum; but also showing old nuclear freeze rally footage; etc. People forget, but he& #39;s done movement politics before! 3/
That Ed can *also* go inside, mastering details and process, and come out with legislative W& #39;s, is what makes him special. 4/
