I know Democrats' A-#1 priority is "don't upset any Republican swing voters" (that don't actually exist), but one of the most motivating swings a candidate in 2028 can take is "we will seek justice for every cruelty that has transpired during the last decade of corruption and abuse."
Mamdani: "If a New Yorker looks at what ICE is doing and wants to see more of it, they should vote for Bruce Blakeman, who has created his own militia in Nassau County. If they look at what ICE is doing and they are shocked by the inhumanity and cruelty, they should vote for Gov. Kathy Hochul."

The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him. I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · last wk.Is this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.

Peggy's people-powered campaign just overcame an opponent backed by Chuck Schumer and establishment Democrats, and funded by crypto and corporate PACs.

So TRUMP world intervened to keep Max Miller on the ballot?
If you find yourself dooming, it's worth recalling that Trump has neither the legal nor (more importantly) the practical ability to effectively federalize & rig the midterms. But if you find yourself complacent, it's important to note he can cause a whole lot of chaos by illegally trying & failing.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d ago🚨🚨🚨 WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: You have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections. If you do this in the next month, we will get photo ID, proof of citizenship, and a limit to mail ballots TRUMP: Let me just say stranger things have happened. I'll leave it at that
Domestic abuse and rape represent the rejection of camaraderie, love, principle, and human dignity in favor of brute domination of the weak by the strong, and in that sense it is the paradigm of the MAGA ethos.
Politico@politico.com · 5d agoEXCLUSIVE: Members of Trump’s political team asked Ohio Republicans last week not to wage a public pressure campaign against embattled GOP Rep. Max Miller, after they became increasingly convinced he wouldn’t end his reelection bid.
Now's as good of a time as any to reiterate that I have never seen anyone in a mainstream newspaper or magazine write about how Mamdani, El Sayed and Hamawy are representing positive masculinity.

I want you to understand that they are jumping through all of these hoops to avoid tax bills that are, in many cases, $50 grand. Or $100k. Yes, to normal folks that is all the money in the world. But these people *routinely* spend that on weekend vacations. They would _definitely_ give it at a gala.
