I was a campaign staffer on the 2021 mayoral and this entire election is the dream of those endeavors back then

Every time someone acts cocky they have to sign up for another shift. We don’t make the rules, we just have done this long enough to know them 🤷🏻‍♂️

I “Know Ball” and I’m telling you: this race is unfortunately not over. we need to move and act like we’re 10 points down!!! I feel like… kind of good but also VERY BAD AND SCARED.

Knock doors! Talk to your friends about their early vote plans!!!

this is fantastic! a business or group only needs to have 10 people to use this program, and gainey is trying to get it funded for all 750 city employees who work downtown. let's get more people riding the bus!

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

Democrats have run Pennsylvania's supreme court since 2015, a streak that has proved consequential; the court has struck down a GOP gerrymander, upheld a state law allowing mail-in voting, and rejected Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his loss in 2020.

unironically would really prefer to live in barbieland where we all have jobs and healthcare and run the supreme court and also there are dance parties

Three banners, two black with white text and one red with white text, that read POST-GAZETTE STRIKERS WILL WIN hang from a yellow bridge with the Pittsburgh skyline in the background.

Tomorrow, our unfair labor practice strike against @post-gazette.com marks it's third full year. Three years of fighting the most lawless union-busting campaign can be tiring, but we're never going to quit fighting.

Last night, we were uplifted to see a new sign adorning the Pittsburgh skyline...

I have absolutely no trouble believing the swifties are clean on OPSEC.

also signal, bc the political swiftie group chats have better opsec than the us military

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

*rubs eyes* this can’t be real

let your drop-outs be your cop-outs at the table of failure

Two Normal Guys in Iowa and the Elusive Quest for Democratic Authenticity Democrats want more 'regular' people to run. What does that mean?

"Democrats need to stop sounding 'like you’ve been put through 17 rounds of approvals with consultants who haven’t knocked a door in 20 years,' strategist April Glick Pulito told me."

Great piece from @michaelkruse.bsky.social + I don't just say that bc I'm in it (also more baseball candidates plz)

Ain’t no Labor Day like a Pittsburgh Labor Day. Solidarity forever ✊🏼

the Mamdani campaign is successful because it’s the first lefty campaign in fucking years that makes people heard. LISTENING IS THE SKILL AND THE JUICE

Dems have spent too many cycles parachuting college kids into swing communities, ignoring the kids’ feedback, and burning them out into cynical husks.

fund year round organizing, fund deep canvassing, take feedback and follow the message because it is THERE and it’s NOT ABANDONING OUR COMMUNITIES

This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.

there are recession indicators all around for those with eyes to see

I need you to understand how deadly serious I am when I say that I am currently in Taylor Swift groupchats that have better infosec than this administration's group chats.

Gonna hold everyone’s hand when I say this. It’s not just a distraction. It’s both. All of it is maximalism. It’s flooding the zone.

He is a fascist AND a pedophile. It’s both.

This is what’s possible when you listen instead of lecture and run a campaign focused on working people.

No justice.
No peace.
No ICE in these streets.

Pittsburgh will always protect our neighbors and fight fascism ✊🏼

Brad Lander Detained by Masked Federal Agents Inside Immigration Court The arrest came in his latest visit to the courthouse to speak with migrants there.

A reporter from The City had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, “Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?”

One of the 3 leading contenders to be the next Mayor of New York City was just arrested… for asking a question.

This is what a fascist, authoritarian regime looks like. Stand up. Fight back.

Today, in Pittsburgh and across this country, we came together to join hands for the #NoKings protest and stand in solidarity with everyone who wants freedom for all.

No to ICE. No to Kings. No to bigots.

The people demand a just, free, and equal America. It’s time to stand up.

Pittsburgh is a City of Solidarity — we will never accept a King, the terror of ICE, or bigotry of any kind.

We will continue to rise up and fight for our communities, fight for our neighbors, and fight for a future built on justice and liberation for all ✊🏼 #NoKings
