Yes, absolutely. For example, if in the next few weeks, Trump sends ICE officers to polls, you know what you do? You go anyway, you throw them a middle finger, and you walk into the ballot box and don't let them intimidate you. What you don't do is despair and stay home.

no one reads the articles. all of the quotes assume this is because the party is broke because of (spins wheel) whatever that person is mad about today, but the reason they’re scrambling is because they’re trying to run moonshot campaigns in deep red districts they ordinarily would never attempt

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

Mamdani setting off the biggest shitheads in the world by saying antisemitism is bad just shows that a bunch of supposedly lefty people put Jew hating over any leftist policy.

I want to loop back to this debate I had earlier: Part of the reason other Democrat politicians may not be getting the eyes that Mamdani is, is that quite frankly their comms teams suck by comparison. Mamdani's team is playful, reads as sincere, and is fully fluent in modern memes and virality.

Have you ever tried to read a scientific journal article and been told “you don’t have access, pay to download this article?” Did you know that the author of that article gets $0 if you pay? Instead, you can email the author and ask for a free copy! I’d be delighted to help and answer questions!

if you are a Dem who for whatever reason does not feel comfortable actively defending trans rights (which you should) you have two good response options: 1. ignore it! just keep running ads about the economy 2. “I am focused on your pocketbook, my opponent is focused on children’s genitals”

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

"Doctors, lawyers and engineers" is an international online Nazi trope. The "joke" is that non-White people are too stupid to be anything other than a criminal or someone who leeches social services. Read a Spanish newspaper about Ceuta, e.g., and you'll see "médicos y ingenieros" in the comments.

It's kind of brilliant for AOC to be Lauren Underwood's first co-sponsor of fertility legislation. Underwood is a legislative workhorse and there is no more visible member of the House Democratic caucus. It creates a smart inside-outside approach. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Ossoff: "What did we learn this morning? Yet another connection between Rep. Mike Collins and white nationalism, between Collins and neo-Nazi ideology. One of the congressman's staffers posting swastikas online and depicting himself in the costume of the Ku Klux Klan. Disgraceful and disqualifying."

Needing to win by 4 points nationally to get a bare majority in the House of Representatives due to partisan gerrymandering is (1) unfair, (2) a sign of America’s democratic backsliding, and importantly (3) doable.
