i really have no patience whatsoever for people who are scared of muslims having elected office

If you cannot condemn genocide abroad, you cannot be trusted to protect democracy at home. Reject Angie Craig. Vote Peggy Flanagan for US Senate in Minnesota.❤️✊🏽

Evergreen politics tip: Run against your opposition, not the people your opposition scapegoats and reviles. And since this seems unclear: Dems' opposition is Republicans.

If our DCCC saw Republicans and fascism as foes as important to fight against as the DSA they would aggressively move to impeach Vought while attacking Blue State Republicans in Congress (e.g., CA, NY have double digits between them) for complicity. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

Voting is the most basic act of citizenship. The SAVE Act makes it expensive. Expensive voting is restricted voting. Restricted voting is not democracy. It's oligarchy with a ballot fee. #PayToVoteSaveAct

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

There's been a tsunami of dark money ads in this race, supporting my opponent. And the question is - why? What do these special interest groups think they're buying?

The President’s cabinet member oversees a federal law enforcement agency. He threatens literal bloodshed if the opposition party refuses to suspend using their first amendment speech rights. He’s threatening state violence in response to opposition free speech.

Tom Homan: "It all go backs to the Dems ... there's still gonna be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted."

Everyone in the legacy media knows Trump's history and knows that he will spread dangerous lies on Thursday night. They know that they have a choice about whether to cover the speech. Most importantly, they know the danger and the stakes. newsletters.democracydocket.com/-the-media-h...

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

Alex Aronson@alexaronson.bsky.social · 3w ago

Amy Coney Barrett just told Congress that it would be inappropriate to explain the reasoning behind the Court’s unreasoned shadow docket orders. As if unreasoned judicial orders are a thing. They are not. The reasoning is the whole point.

The right to repair is about more than fixing a tractor. It’s about giving power back to farmers, not giant corporations. I'm proud to be the only candidate in this race fighting for the right to repair.

Yet another heartbreaking and unfortunately foreseeable tragedy. This doesn't need to happen. How many more lives will be destroyed before Congress takes action to address the problem they've abundantly funded? The evidence is clear: ICE's continued presence is a threat to all of our safety.

NEW: A 28-year-old man died Tuesday morning following an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations agents in St. Augustine, marking the third death involving ICE in a week.

Bob Fletcher has done nothing to earn your vote, so don’t vote for him. I’m Charlie “Chuck” St. Dennis, and I am an 18 year old organizer from St. Paul who stood up for my neighbors while Bob Fletcher sat down. I ask that you write my name in this November. Let’s send a message.

“If America is to celebrate its 250th anniversary, let it be by reinterpreting our founding documents in light of Reconstruction’s unfinished mission. Let it be by expanding our understanding of who is among “the people” and what “we the people” are due.”

so excited to share that I contributed to @thenation.com's special issue on America at 250 I wrote about the need to reinterpret the Constitution in light of the unfinished and urgent mission of Reconstruction here's hoping I did y'all & Frederick Douglass proud 🙏🏾 www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

Peggy is the real deal who will fight for us against Trump and for a better future for all of us. Vote early for her in the August Primary.

A year ago today, Republicans gutted SNAP and decimated Medicaid so billionaires could buy another private plane. We need more folks in Washington who know what it means to stretch $20 to the end of the month - because they would know better.

I am totally biased to be sure but this is gold medaling in Race Class Narrative: Speak to our shared values across division, narrate the dog whistle - how right divides to conquer - w/o repeating their lies, present a desirable vision that recasts "Americanness" in progressive terms.

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

They are arresting U.S. Air Force Officers for free speech and U.S. Olympians for curiosity—but not rich men for raping children with Jeffrey Epstein.

Want to feel a little bit of the same joy our friends in NYC have right now? Vote for Peggy Flanagan in the Senate primary on August 11th.

Hell yes, Ohio! Governor DeWine just vetoed HB 472, the voter suppression bill rammed through by corrupt Republicans This is a huge victory for voting rights! Thanks to everybody who wrote, called and spoke out against this bill 🤩 Suck on that MAGA!

So far I've only seen Rashida Tlaib take a stand. Andy Ngo gave a snarky reply and his minions are following it up w a ratio. FOX News reported her statement in shocked tones.

www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/... The feds knew the database they’ve asked states to use to verify voters’ citizenship had inaccurate data and would prevent some citizens from voting. All part of the MAGA plan to suppress the vote and interfere with the midterms to get their desired outcome.

"The federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote,” the judge wrote.

Strongest argument for Democrats packing the Supreme Court is that we have never, in the whole history of the republic, had a Court that votes on almost all major decisions on a straight party line the way the Roberts Court does now. /1 nathannewman.substack.com/p/weve-never...

We’ve Never Had a Partisan Court Before. That’s the Case for Packing It.

Major Supreme Court decisions of the past were built by justices appointed across party lines- but if the Court is now just a partisan engine, a partisan packing of the Court is appropriate.

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

ICE observers in Minneapolis have begun receiving visits from FBI agents sent to intimidate them. A close friend-combat vet, mother, no criminal record-who was a volunteer observer during the ICE crisis, had a visit and was threatened for taking photos and videoed, claiming that filming was illegal.
