When politicians show you who they are, believe them. Matsui has failed the Sikh community and her record in Congress shows it. @maiforus.bsky.social is a fighter and will be a strong advocate for Sikhs and all communities. Vote for Mai Vang because it #MaiTime !!

Today is the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. What happened was horrific. And then came a second wave: Muslim, Arab, South Asian, and Sikh Americans were targeted for how they looked, dressed, or prayed. I put together this website to share just a few of those stories… post911.org

What happened the week after 9/11?

Aisha Wahab is the future of the Democratic Party. Lofgren needs to get on board and dump AIPAC, or resign her position as leader of the California Congressional Delegation. Top notch original reporting from Sarah Ferris @ CNN shedding a light on similar stories from across the nation.

I told CNN the truth. So many big wins for progressive candidates across the country but there are many in DC Dem leadership that are still refusing to support popular candidates because they are taking their orders from AIPAC and corporations.

More video of confused Matsui (D-AIPAC) in a debate trainwreck! Serious question, though: Did Matsui actually think this response would work to hide the dirty money or is she so lost that she doesn't even remember who she made the dirty deals with? Either way, support @maiforus.bsky.social !

48 seconds of a very confused Doris Matsui (D-AIPAC) as she (1) gets cross-examined by @maiforus.bsky.social (2) tries to hide her corporate contributions, and (3) gets booed by voters. This debate was a trainwreck for Matsui and a work of art by Mai Vang. It's #MaiTime

Amar Shergill @amarshergill.com · 17/08/2026
Let's be clear, Lofgren and AIPAC are on a smear campaign to portray Wahab as anti-American in a desperate attempt to block the people of this district from having a Representative that fights for them.

Amar Shergill @amarshergill.com · 17/08/2026
8. Big Oil and Billionaire PACs are also spending big with AIPAC, Lofgren, and DC Corporate Dems to stop Wahab from being an independent voice in Congress.

Amar Shergill @amarshergill.com · 17/08/2026
6. Now Lofgren is out with a bullshit video incomprehensibly blaming Wahab for not getting to 50% when Lofgren could have made it happen by helping instead of joining with AIPAC to attack Wahab. 7. AIPAC is spending millions every week against Wahab.
110
Amar Shergill @amarshergill.com · 17/08/2026
4. Then Lofgren and DC Corporate Dems tried to defeat Wahab in the special election primary; Wahab won by 26 points. 5. The only reason that Wahab is not in Congress right now is that AIPAC, Lofgren, and DC Corporate Dems kept Wahab just below the 50% she needed to go to Congress immediately.

Amar Shergill @amarshergill.com · 17/08/2026
2. Melissa Hernandez is the AIPAC and corporate candidate. 3. DC Corporate Democrats led by Zoe Lofgren did everything they could do defeat Wahab in the regular primary; Wahab won by 21 points.

Trust Nurses. If the California Nurses Association felt this race was so important they needed to spend $300k on ads letting folks know that Mai Vang was their candidate and that Matsui had failed us, well, then you know this is the real deal. Vote Mai Vang for Congress! Let's get this done! ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏽

Some folks are going to be disillusioned with Becerra after this. Remember, it's not their fault. He's very good at this. Just a shame that he chose the corporate path when he could have been a fighter for all of us.

He actually said this last night, "I need Chevron." Becerra spoke from his chest in full defense of Chevron and the max contribution. Zero words about Chevron airdropping cash to stop us from having clean water and air. We cannot let this guy be our Governor. We deserve better.

When they send out the end-of-campaign email and the media reports it, expect their numbers to bottom out. Just a few die hards will stick. In a race like this, that could easily be the difference.

It's not a purity test, it's basic morality in governance. Support for fossil fuel money devotees and CalCare opponents puts us closer and closer to a MAGA Top two. A lot of folks seem to care more about lifting up their favorite corporate Democrat than electing ANY Democrat. It's insanity.

Amar Shergill @amarshergill.com · 16/04/2026
Election day modeling using @paulmitche11.bsky.social simulator and polls out today. If Yee, Villaraigosa, and Thurmond, stay in the race, there's a 1 in 10 chance of a top-two MAGA lockout. If they drop out, it's only 1.9%. It is insanity for them to stay in the race!

Bovino needs to go. Noem needs to go. Miller needs to go. But firing or impeaching any of these people will not unilaterally change what’s happening in Minnesota. That’s why Congress needs to exert some muscle over DHS/ICE funding.

The purpose of any messaging is to move people toward what we need them to believe & do. We need people to see ICE accurately - as the gestapo, a criminal enterprise destroying us from within. That's why any reference to "reform" or "train" goes against our material & narrative goal.

How embarrassing for Chuck Schumer, Kirstin Gillibrand, Cory Booker, & NY Reps Grace Meng, Dan Goldman, Ritchie Torres, Greg Meeks, Tom Suozzi, & Laura Gillen, that even Donald Trump endorsed Zohran Mamdani before they did.😐 Corporate Democrats just love snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
