THIS GIVES TRUMP NEW POWER TO CRUSH HIS ENEMIES. This bill would give Trump never before seen power to shut down crucial orgs that protect our rights and punish those he views as his enemies. TAKE ACTION NOW TO STOP IT: jvp.org/defenddissent

🚨ACT NOW TO DEFEND PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENTS🚨 Tomorrow, Congress will vote on a bill that would grant Trump unprecedented power to shut down nonprofit organizations. Write to Congress, jvp.org/defenddissent

By spending over a year ignoring US law on supplying arms, the Biden administration has handed Trump an excuse to ignore any law he wants. And they will have nothing to say about it.

One important takeaway post-election (which gives me some hope) is clear difference between Trump *supporters* vs. Trump *voters*, especially among working class of color in NYC. Not simple, but these voters are gettable again w responsive policy priorities and clear narrative.

Bernie was right about everything. Every decision Dems make over the next 4 years — selecting a new DNC Chair, prioritizing legislative battles, recruiting candidates, developing a midterm message — Bernie should be consulted first, and his analysis should carry the most weight.

Has anyone asked Anita Dunn, or has Dunn released a statement, explaining why they spent the final 6 wks of the campaign centering Liz Cheney and Mark Cuban, courting the 26 NeverTrump republicans on earth? Anyone seen any internal math (ostensibly) explaining why they did this?

“Opportunity economy”™️ was the death knell to the Kamala Harris campaign. Felt so immediately when I first heard it being deployed a couple months ago. Truly, may have been the most meaningless and least motivating (but sadly revealing) pitch in the history of politics.

Harris “could have chosen to break from the White House, she could have chosen to follow int’l & US law, she could have chosen progressive energy & greater support from the base, she could have chosen life. Instead she chose genocide. And this was the inevitable outcome.”
Adam Johnson@adamjohnsonCHI

In which I argue that Dems lockstep support for genocide wasn’t the deciding factor in the loss, but it did foreclose on a strategy of energizing the base, thereby compelling the campaign to track right and chase Liz Cheney voters that simply didn’t exist. therealnews.com/democrats-chos…

People have the right to be absolutely furious at Democratic Party’s national leadership, which for decades has fueled rather than countered an ascendant and incredibly dangerous far right Republican Party. They valued protecting Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza over beating Trump.

Harris *may* still win, but my god, an absolute moral & political debacle not breaking with Biden on Israeli genocide of Gaza and being way more aggressive on inflation. Instead Harris said: “there is not a thing that comes to mind” except having a Republican in the cabinet.

Michigan is so close right now, it never needed to be. The Democrats literally chose genocide over listening to Palestinian, Muslim & Arab voters.
