It’s not too difficult to not want 2.2 million people to die — half of them being children.
You’re either asking the government to tell Israel to immediately end the siege on Gaza, or you’re advocating for genocide. It’s that simple.

Estuardo’s campaign has filed a complaint w/ the registrar re: potential illegal ballot harvesting & fraud.
Pic of the Ugarte staffer on the right doesn’t show anything inherently illegal, but a former CD 9 staffer went on the record saying she saw Ugarte do this before.

am i finally allowed to say i find this interviewer incredibly annoying and condescending
This interchange between the NYT and @GinaHinojosaTX summarizes the 2026 election and explains the freakout by Corporate Dems and corporate media. The former is seeing its political formula rejected, the latter can’t even process what left-populism is.

I chatted with the operative who ran campaigns for #NV02's first representative, a Republican.
He said he always thought the seat could flip and Dems just didn't believe — including Harry Reid.
He thinks @Teresa4Nevada could hold the seat in 2028:

Give the Congresswoman-elect a follow on the other platforms as well — these were on Facebook and Instagram first!

Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

NEW: As Alaska continues to count the vote, Common Cause and the League of Women Voters weigh in on DOJ's effort to revive suit seeking to block certification of the Senate results: "The legal theory advanced by the United States here is embarrassing and indefensible."

Historic win! 🎉 SF passed Prop B, creating the governance structure for a Municipal Finance Corporation intended to scale up into a public bank once it’s funded & gets regulatory approval. Congrats to Sup. @JackieFielder_ and the @sfpublicbank coalition!

Absolutely fuck this. Disgraceful bigoted shit, totally unacceptable for the Democratic party.

NEW UNION ALERT
108 workers at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA, have won their union with AFSCME District Council 36, overcoming management's union-busting tactics!
Now they're preparing to fight for livable wages, fair workloads, and a real voice on the job.
ALT A group of people is posing and smiling in front of the "Aquarium of the Pacific" sign. The background features the aquarium building illuminated with blue lighting. Some people have their arms raised in excitement. There are trees and rocks around the sign.

The centrist mandate: Dissipate voters’ energy and urgency, ensure progress be near-invisible, and help fascists regroup. Every single time.
Neera Tanden at The National Press Club:
The next two years should not be an opportunity for every group in DC to dust off their wish list for the last decade.
It's not a time to pressure Congress to fruitlessly spend time, political capital on ideas that we couldn't get done in a Democratic trifecta just a few years ago.
maybe @IndivisibleTeam should organize emergency No Kings national rallies to prevent the coronations brewing up in the House and Senate… 🤔

Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor called Hakeem Jeffries “AIPAC Shakur” on this week’s @thedigradio. I’d forgotten about that one, what a devastating nickname
if the Left wants a uniting force that understands the plights of working class families and all progressives can rally around for a strong 2028 showing, look no further than @FlyingWithSara. 🫡
Scoop: Zohran Mamdani has been meeting privately with union leaders, urgently talking up the need for a labor-aligned or leftist candidate to run for president, people familiar with the talks tell me.
He's arguing that progressives can't afford to squander their midterm momentum.
Behind closed doors, Mamdani has also said he's uncertain whether AOC will launch a White House run, the sources said.

Anyone who has camped in serious rain knows how miserable it can be, especially when your attempts to keep the rain out fail. All you want is to feel dry again. When it’s cold it’s exponentially worse. When you’re with your kids, you feel awful for them as they shiver. Now imagine the tent is your forced home, the water keeps rising, and there’s nowhere to go to get dry or warm.
I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.
Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.
I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.
We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.
I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.
What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?
I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.
