Not much of an update to provide, related to our Cherry Hill Dem Committee lawsuit - other than we are still pending appeal of the Superior Court decision that the winners (a 3- person slate) of a slate v. slate election for 74 open seats are only allowed to fill the vacancies from the pool of

If you haven't read Kendzior's "Last American Road Trip"--recommend! She writes about all the awesome things in this country that are worth fighting to protect, despite the kleptocrats in power working to "strip away our country and sell it for parts."

The donation is meant for a drone surveillance program.

Fun fact... the Camden County NJ Police Department took almost a half-mill donation from two people who were criminally indicted for state RICO crimes. (The county police are in charge of Camden City policing. The state revoked Camden's city police authority many years ago)

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

My son's absolute favorite part of the movie Matilda (the one with @marawilson.bsky.social) is watching her walk all by herself 10 blocks to the library and making herself pancakes

Screenshot of news article: "The progressives won the primary with around 5,000 votes to the CDCC’s more than 3,000 votes.

But the math did not add up to progressive control of the committee, Beach argued, saying in a statement last week that β€œover 3,000 Cherry Hill voters voted for 74 qualified candidates that did the hard work of getting their names on the ballot. Three random candidates who could not put together a full slate of qualified candidates cannot disenfranchise over 3,000 voters. In short, we won 71 seats. The South Jersey Progressives won three seats.”"

Yes! Our county library system has been underpaying librarians-- masters required and something like $45k, where neighboring counties were paying >$10k more. Our librarians fought and won a better contract--but still less than other counties. Our county budget is >$500mil!!

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

People opposed to your political project don't want that project to succeed. Why would you listen to their advice?

Granted, I am talking about the CCDems though, so that just highlights their fecklessness and lack of principles

You're also not a sucker for believing in people. I get the sense that this needs to be stated from time to time.

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??

Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.
