@inthehands@hachyderm.ioAmy Klobuchar couldn’t get a majority of the DFL straw poll vote in South Minneapolis — a measly 30% — and she is •running unopposed•.
Shades of 2024 when a strong “uncommitted” primary vote for unopposed Biden presaged electoral disaster.
Minnesotans, use this to light a fire under her. Harangue her office. And hey…maybe field a primary opponent. Freak her campaign and the State DFL the absolute fuck out.
It’s a win if we get a better nominee •or• if we get her to show a little more fight again ICE and Trump.

@StephenRees@mas.tothe BC Greens have reached a turning point.
When we signed the Cooperation and Responsible Government Accord (CARGA) with the BC NDP in 2024, we did so with a clear goal: to use our leverage in the legislature to force action on some of the issues that matter most to you—housing, healthcare, climate, and the cost-of-living crisis.
Today, I am announcing that the BC Greens will not renew that agreement.

If ICE and CBP are basically the reincarnation of the KKK, it’s the KKK with a budget the size of Russia’s entire military.
Literally. In the literal sense of “literally.” The incoming ICE CBP budget is ~$140 billion.[1] Russia’s military budget is ~$145 billion.[2]
(If I’m misreading these numbers, please correct me.)

@cdarwin@c.imAfter the Republican midterm disappointments of 2022,
Peter Thiel called for a party that could unite “the priest, the general, and the millionaire”
— a formula that reads, with hindsight, as a precise blueprint for Trump’s second administration:
Christian nationalism, military force deployed at home and abroad, and a financial oligarchy powerful enough to steer the state.
By the election of 2024, the gospel of nostalgia and the gospel of progress had concluded a shor…
