And THIS is what Democratic centrism & corporatism gets us, EVERY. DAMN. TIME. No progress, despite a super-majority, while Republicans exploit the lack of progress to get elected. Kotek was handed so many opportunities, and she squandered most of ‘em. Regardless, I’m still voting for Kotek…

Because electing Drazen (a devoted Trump loyalist and transphobic bigot, who’s committed to destroying our vote-by-mail system, and abolishing abortion) will wreck our state for generations.

The big problems with Wednesday’s SCOTUS order allowing a Tennessee execution
SCOTUS cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike over the dissent of the Democratic appointees. The order from the court’s Republican appointees is alarming on several fronts.

I read a couple hundred death penalty cases for a case once and I think you’d all be shocked at how often this happens. The death penalty is one of the cruelest things in our system, an obvious violation of the 8th amendment cruel and unusual punishment clause, but we just love to kill.

Here's an older Christine Drazan campaign sign, mounted to the stage owned by the Proud Boys at a rally with a ton of Proud Boys and an official Proud Boy booth. Drazan is not a centrist, Drazan is a fascist-supported MAGA.

Summers said he attended the 2025 Trump inauguration on a church podcast. But his public narrative is that he wants his voting audience to imagine he's not part of the Trump MAGA movement and that he's just a regular ol' GOP country boy so it's okay for Democrats to vote for him and not to worry.
