fuck off, nazi

and the jersey shore is hardcore maga land, so if those people get fired up and Dems don't show up we get Chris Christie

NJ resident here: we do our governor elections off year rather than during midterms or presidential years.

the result is a motivated base can swing the election on either side

I live in northern NJ and everybody at every outlet was telling us how at risk our governship was. then she won by 15 points.

they're not ready for what they've unleashed

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

this is an area where I feel the "conform to the right view or else" stuff in leftier bubbles. mask mandates in 2026 are going to be overwhelmingly unpopular and out of step with how almost everyone is living. Covid was not an announcement that masking is now a permanently feature of human life

give yourself grace, we can't all be engaged all the time. right now you're numb, other times you'll be fired up, other times in despair. We're all in this together and toppling facism is a team sport.

Will major upset by a Bernie-backed progressive ignite a new era in N.J. politics? The machine ‘got crushed.’ The Democratic Party's left wing says Analilia Mejia's victory shows voters are embracing progressives to fight Donald Trump.

Mejia... ran on a platform of affordability for the working class, including more funding for child care and raising taxes on the highest earners. She got endorsements from A O-C of New York and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, as well as Sen. Bernie Sanders"

Very proud of my state right now. I already see groups organizing to help our neighbors fight the gestapo

Trump administration says it is ending its immigration surge in Minnesota More than 4,000 undocumented immigrants have been apprehended since the operation began in November, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

This victory belongs to the people of Minnesota who have inspired all of us by transforming crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. People power works.

The timing of this announcement — shortly before Congress votes on a DHS funding bill — is no accident.

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

We should all be bracing for wherever they're going next and be ready to instantly put the lessons of Minnesota to work there.

Look to Analilia Mejía's Victory, Says Bernie Sanders: 'This Can Be Done Everywhere' | Common Dreams Recent progressive electoral victories have sparked debate among centrist Democrats, but Sen. Bernie Sanders urges voters to ignore the naysayers. Analilia Mejía's primary win in NJ proves that grassr...

Emphasizing that Mejía, a grassroots organizer, was known to just 5% of voters in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District when she launched her campaign in November, Sanders said Wednesday: “Make no mistake. This can be done everywhere.”

Homan too. He's just a slightly less openly crazy nazi.

Massie should go indpendent and caucus with the Dems once this happens.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms. I recently explained three things states can do and four things Congress should insist on in order to protect the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The media is going a great job of acting like it's over. It's pathetic. Here in NJ we have signal chats going about delivering aid to neighbors and what not. Taking lessons from yall, but we know it's not over. You're still an occupied city at war

And I do think the counterweight has been so many Gen X women are organizing and leading the charge on protests and what not.

How Gen X Became the Trumpiest Generation Alt-rocker Cherie Westrich’s journey may seem unusual, but given the strange political arc of her generation, it might not be.

It sounds like you're doing the good work and no generation is one thing, but Gen X have consistently been the bulwark of our rightward slide. Easily the trumpiest generation.

As a 36 year old living in NJ-11 in a house my wife and are can baaaaaarely afford but realize we have it better than the generation coming up after us on housing...this is dead on.

Also worth noting, the leading abolitionists of the day considered Lincoln to be unacceptably moderate on slavery. Basically how we feel about a moderate Dem today. He was a latecomer to abolition, and while it's great he got there the activists of the day get slept on.

Thank you for these words. Republicans are projecting an alternate reality. On the ground we're bracing to form communities to protect our neighbors at the risk of being murdered and labeled a domestic terrorist

@nytimes.com what is this trash?

"Please teach me."

"It's not my job to educate you."

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

@schumer.senate.gov 's demands are already inadequete. no room to negotiate further
