I can’t help think of the fact that Katie Porter just went from frontrunner to nonstarter in the CA gov race for exactly this kind of behavior. The double standard for white men in leadership is appalling, and so are his actions. Ken Martin should resign. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/u...
Inside the Phone-Throwing Drama at the Troubled, Broke Democratic Party (Gift Article)
The Democrats should be well positioned to make gains in this year’s midterms. But inside party headquarters, every week brings paranoia, worries about money and, on occasion, emotional eruptions.

Fantastic article from @maragay.bsky.social and reveals an important opportunity to reframe this debate: The status quo doesn’t work for people. Instead of demanding perfection from new ideas, let’s acknowledge that we currently have a system that isn’t working and new ideas that might.
The cautious centrists and center-left politicians who have dominated the Democratic Party for so long have failed. Voters see this, which is why the uprising within the Democratic Party is unlikely to be contained. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/o...

“There is a myth that a significant number of moderate voters only vote Republican out of desperation, and if Democrats stood for *less*, we’d get those votes. But there’s no proof for this theory.” - my thoughts on what Dems need to do next.

Good morning to the dreamers. Good morning to those who see hate and choose love. Good morning to those who want to end poverty. Good morning to those who want to change the status quo instead of capitulating to it. There is great work for us to do together. Let’s tie up our shoes and get to it.
