The electric vans are getting better. If I had the spare money, the PV7 would be on my list. Maybe when our e-Berlingo needs replacing.
The range is pretty good and 800V means fast charging. I would also love AWD.

Another interesting result from yesterday’s Democratic primaries in Rhode Island:
David Morales,
a democratic socialist candidate, unseated sitting Providence mayor Brett Smiley.
The win for Morales, a member of the Rhode Island legislature,
notches a win for an insurgent progressive faction of the party that has vied to unseat establishment incumbents.
That movement has found success in mayoral races around the country, notably ushering Zohran Mamdani into off…

What would it look like to cancel Thanksgiving...
No Black Friday sales where people are obsessed with Capitalism and Consumerism? Good!
No celebrating the colonization of Indigenous People? Good!
You can still gather with friends and family and have a meal. Call it whatever you want! Thanksgiving, Fall Harvest, whatever.
Don't fall for the bullshit the establishment is pushing.

"Oswald Mosley was the most significant fascist in Britain’s political history. His threat to democracy in the 1930s was backed by major sections of the Establishment — not to mention Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s Italy — and only seen off by mass working-class agitation and mobilisation."

Mal ehrlich, dass die AfD die absolute Mehrheit knapp verfehlt hat, ist das beste, was ihr passieren konnte.
Entweder macht sie eine Minderheitsregierung und kann alles was sie nicht durchsetzen kann auf die unkonstruktiven anderen Parteien oder auf Berlin schieben.
Oder es bildet sich die ganz große Koalition, die sich dauernd selbst blockieren und zwangsläufig auseinanderfliegen wird. Daran kann sie ihr Anti-Establishment image weiter polieren.
In beiden Fällen kann sie …

AeS has better policy positions, HS has a solid legislative record. They BOTH have style issues. This is why I was for McMorrow (good policy & legislative chops) but that was not to be.
The fact that there’s such a breadth of Fash trying to stop AeS is telling. They don’t want him compared to Mike Rogers, the most boring establishment candidate alive.
HS’s style — careful, wooden, scripted, centrist — makes her a shit opponent for Rogers. @…

It is incredibly annoying to see so much obvious organized *international* tooting/skeeting in the Michigan Democratic Party primary for the US Senate. Especially since most of it seems to be aimed at making them both look bad. Like a German I saw on the Fediverse concern-trolling polls…

By the middle of this week, insurgent progressive Democrats may have defeated establishment candidates in two vital primaries,
for a Senate seat in Michigan and the governorship of Wisconsin.
If and when that happens, the elite news media will overflow with
“Dems in Disarray!” stories,
and the the centrist Democrats who have been issuing dark warnings about their party’s left turn will be in a full-blown panic.
Those centrists need to take a deep breath, settle…

Do they want to help their party win, or do they want to whine about the left?

I love going through my replies from 2024 where I told folks that they should support the Democratic Socialists of America :dsa: against the democratic establishment, where it was their argument that this strategy would never work and is idealistic and we need to drop support for some minority group, have a “lesser evil” and “harm reduction” candidate, in order to appeal to Republicans to win.
Now, arriving in reality, all it took was actually offering an alternative, instead of just b…

Vivek Ramaswamy, whose parents immigrated from Kerala before he was born in Cincinnati in 1985,
received Donald Trump’s much-coveted endorsement for Ohio governor in February 2025
– nearly two years before the election
– to the shock of many in Ohio’s Republican establishment circles.
Having secured Trump’s endorsement, Ramaswamy then met little opposition in the Republican primary election last May, winning 82% of the vote.
But …

Can Vivek Ramaswamy count on Ohio’s Indian Americans as he struggles to connect with voters?
Ohioans of Indian heritage will see one of their own take center stage in race for governor, but their support amid a rocky campaign is not a guarantee

The stakes in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary extend far beyond the state.
The winner will face Republican Mike Rogers in one of the country’s marquee general election contests,

whether the party’s future lies with its establishment, represented by Stevens,
or with an ascendant progressive movement embodie…

Angie Nixon is a Florida State Representative, union organizer, and mother born and raised in Jacksonville who has spent her career fighting for hardworking Floridians. In the State House, she expanded childcare, took on corporate price-gouging, and led the fight against DeSantis’s unfair voting maps. Her leadership is rooted in lived experience—watching her mom work two jobs to get by, attending under-resourced schools, and losing her cousin to gun violence. Angie is running to lower costs…

In 2018, Abdul El-Sayed ran for governor in Michigan.
He had a resume full of credentials including stints at the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia for medical school

In the end, he faced a sedated electorate disinterested in a campaign centered aroun…
