I had a podcast in Louisiana based on my 18 years as a successful political organizer & winning Democratic strategist. I’ve stopped recording but the content is evergreen! I moved to Delaware to care for family. Dog & cat mom…kinda obsessed w/tech & media.

If billionaires owning social media platforms truly wanted to stop Russian and Chinese propaganda and disinformation from spreading, they could. The tools to detect and suppress much of it exist. But they’d rather you fear Russia or China than realize they are the greater threat to our democraties.

“Truth be told, when you take the ‘scary labels’ out of the equation, progressive policies poll very well with – not just Democrats – ALL voters.” The media & GOP want to divide & distract us. We have the right vision & the wind at our back. We should campaign like it. More on Democrats from me:

When I hear our side hosting hissy fits between James Carville and Hasan Piker – largely to benefit their own engagement and wallets – I get rather testy. Neither of these men own the Big Tent that we’re trying to invite voters into, and I really want to remind them that: It’s the voter suppression, stupid. Looking back at the actual data on elections since we lost the full protection of the Voting Rights Act, it becomes evident that this has damaged Democratic chances more than any other obstacle we’re facing. Until we can do the work of restoring and expanding voting rights, we’ve got to do far more work on mobilizing those who can vote. And that requires all of our leaders to avoid some of these “own goals” of depressing turnout through cynicism and division.

Abdul El-Sayed is my candidate, but whoever wins the Michigan senate primary, there’s a big fight ahead. GOP will brand any Dem a communist 🙄 & they want this seat enough to dump a bunch of 💰 in the state. Neither candidate is a “safer” choice. Both gave good election night speeches, but Abdul was 🔥

The complaint details instances of executives for the companies calling and texting each other in an effort to push prices higher.

Alabama Republicans can now implement a 6-1 congressional gerrymander targeting 1 of 2 Black Democrats—a map that a court blocked in 2023 for violating the VRA. The map divides Black voters to turn District 2 majority-white & solidly GOP. Interactive map+data davesredistricting.org/join/2aec6b7...
Image of Alabama Republicans' proposed 6-1 congressional gerrymander that would eliminate one of the two Black Democrats to elect another Republican in a majority-white district. A chart on the left shows the 2024 presidential election results and racial demographics in each district.

The map on the center-left shows the presidential margin by district, with Donald Trump easily carrying six seats in red and Kamala Harris winning just one solidly blue seat.

The map on the right overlays the district lines on a map of the Black adult population by precinct. The new lines pack Black voters in Birmingham and the western half of the Black Belt into the 7th District while cracking voters in Montgomery and the eastern half of the Black Belt by putting them in a redrawn 2nd District that is majority-white.
