tony romm@tonyromm.bsky.social · 2w agoNEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
The national front against the lawless authoritarianism needs to be as big & inclusive as possible & neither DSA members nor former pro-GWB neocons can be excluded, nor can either group be permitted to impose litmus tests on who gets to be part of the national front.

To this day, this man makes excuses for those who carried out an attack to throw out your votes and install a defeated President.
Morocco absolutely deserved that. Ball don’t lie. Dutch tried to penalty their way to the win.

“I will be one of the Jewish members of Congress most willing to stand up for Palestinian human rights. And I will stand firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. Those are not two different jobs. They are the same job,” Brad Lander said.
Some things Labour and Dems need to understand: 1) National elections are base elections 2) "swing voters" are not moderates, they are usually cross-pressured, low-info, or inconsistent 3) voters are persudable 4) voters contain conflicting narratives, and tacking right activates their narratives.
The objection from leadership will be that this is too abstract, too institutional, too risky. It misreads both the moment and the country. Americans have grasped the urgency of structural reform before. The window for Reconstruction opens only when the abuses are fresh, and it closes fast. /x
If we had put Trump in prison for Jan. 6 like we should have none of this shit would be happening.

democrats appear to be broadly underestimating the base's anger right now. that's not really a problem for the midterms, purely in terms of electoral strategy (see @gelliottmorris.com's analysis), but i have a feeling it will be disruptive down the road in unforeseen ways
L3NTO@l3nto.bsky.social · 3mo agoWhoops, the courts were slow and Merrick Garland ran out of time... Whoops, can't do anything about Virginia because the midterms so close anyways... Whoops, Jared Polis is on his last 6 months of his final term... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
