I'm surprised it's not a winning strategy to say that my enemies are spot-on correct about all the problems, but maybe they go a little to far and are too blunt about it, so you should vote for me, who will do the exact same policies but in a way that is half-hearted and equivocal.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

Remember to call and urge others to call these hotlines if they see something they suspect to be related to immigration enforcement actions. In Charlotte, Carolina Migrant Network at (704) 740-7737.

Today was Day Two of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. Members of our Safe to Work community patrols hit the streets early this morning and observed federal agents preparing to spend their day questioning grocery shoppers.

Journalists and North Carolinians - these are the folks to follow and join to protect our Charlotte neighbors from CBP.

People gather in uptown to protest Border Patrol arrests in Charlotte Community leaders and immigrant families protested federal agents’ presence in Charlotte as agents drove around the city taking people.

“Following the arrival of the U.S. Border Patrol in Charlotte Saturday morning, hundreds of protesters gathered at First Ward Park in the afternoon and marched through uptown, delivering a clear message to federal agents: ‘Get out’...”

I'm thinking today of all my fellow veterans but especially the more than 5,000 trans service members and their families who were kicked out of the military this year despite being highly qualified and serving honorably. This injustice will be a stain on our nation's history.

"We’re done waiting for Dems to find their spine. We can’t afford a weak & cowardly Democratic Party while the authoritarians invade our cities, terrorize our communities, & threaten our democracy. We get the party we demand, & we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.” — @indivisible.org

Movements run on momentum. Little wins turn into an ethos and shared purpose, then bigger wins and suddenly empires fall or lives improve. If this week showed how quickly a few wins can puncture Trump's "invincibility," this is a reminder of how fast "compromise" can plunge us back into despair.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.

I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

"And we will build a city hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does not waver in the fight against the scourge of antisemitism... Where the more than one million Muslims know that they belong."

This is the kind of solidarity we need.

Anti-trans politics lost tonight. Islamophobia lost tonight. Racism lost tonight. Billionaires lost tonight. Smokescreen antisemitism lost tonight. The politics of fear lost tonight. That's a win for everyone.

NYT headline: “MAMDANI'S IMPROBABLE RUN ENDS IN VICTORY”

Savor this moment, friends.

They couldn’t buy their way to a win. They couldn’t racist their way to a win. There are more of us than them, and we fucking beat them. And we can keep beating them.

What a great moment in history to join Jews for Racial & Economic Justice. jfrej.org/membership

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.

From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

BIG BREAKING: Democrat Zohran Mamdani is elected Mayor of New York City, in the largest turnout vote since 1969. He becomes the first Muslim and immigrant mayor of New York City, and the first Muslim to be elected of a major U.S. city.

There are still a lot of hard times ahead, but remember this moment and what it means: We can win.

Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not

Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.

BREAKING: Democrat Ghazala Hashmi elected Lt. Gov of Virginia, making her the first Muslim woman elected to statewide office anywhere in America.

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS.

This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped.

It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.
