I am thrilled to see my paper with the brilliant @tabithabonilla.bsky.social in print. We find that racial justice frames mobilize Democratic constituencies to support Democratic candidates at the ballot box. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I’ve worked alongside @julianastratton.bsky.social for years.

Prepared. Principled. Unafraid to take on Trump and ICE.

That’s who she is—and that’s what Illinois saw tonight.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

#AlexPretti is a martyr for American Democracy and a hero for trying to protect a woman from the thug militia that #Trump has unleashed on our cities. #RIP

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Which is way less than what @shedeursanders.bsky.social did at Colorado in terms of performance and way more in terms of bad behavior, but I bet the "owners" of the NFL will have no trouble forgiving this youthful indiscretion and taking him in Round 1.

From @theathletic.com: A day after blasting Heisman Trophy voters over his distant second-place finish, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia posted an apology on X. "I apologize for being disrespectful. It was a mistake, and I am sorry."

Diego Pavia apologizes for criticizing Heisman voters: ‘I didn’t handle those emotions well at all’

Pavia completed 71.2 percent of his passes for 3,192 yards and 27 touchdowns.

Sens. Kaine & Warnock are pushing back on HHS policy that strips telework as a reasonable accommodation--a move that has already harmed disabled workers & veterans at CDC and across HHS 🚨 The letter calls the policy unlawful and demands it be reversed.

Note to corporate @democrats.org, real progressive economic policy ideas are wildly popular with the American people.

In New York, nearly two in three voters across the state favor Zohran Mamdani's promise to provide universal government-funded child care and would support the mayor-elect's plan to pay for it by increasing taxes on those earning more than $1 million a year, a new poll found.

New Yorkers Back Mamdani’s Push for Free Child Care, Poll Shows

A Siena University poll showed that voters support having wealthy New Yorkers pay more in taxes to fund child care statewide, and favored Gov. Kathy Hochul in next year’s election.

For President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security, cruelty is part of the strategy.

That’s why we remain vigilant: if the Trump-Vance admin deploys unlawful and inhumane immigration tactics in houses of worship during important holiday celebrations, we’ll be ready to meet them in court.

'Outrageous': Lawyers warn court of possible ICE raids in churches over holidays

Democracy Forward says they're especially vigilant today for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, widely celebrated by people of Latin American heritage.

Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k.

These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day").

Unemployment is now up to 4.6%.

This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

Rich guys always think the "economy" is the stock market and their non-existent tax bills. @democrats.org need a bunch of "Let them eat cake" ads featuring #Trump right now, while people are feeling the high costs of the holiday season.

There's a lot of amazing disassociated ranting in there, but my favorite is on page 5, where he says "... if there were a Nobel Prize in fiction..."

Um, there is, actually.

Trump is using the military national guard ICE against all of us citizens snd non citizens. I don’t want to live where we are snatched off the street by masked persons in unmarked cars or subject to stop and searches & detained for no reason. Vote republicans out!

And national Dems are going out of their way to caveat their support and bring attention to the most controversial thing the guy said while leaving out the larger context that made said thing not nearly as bad as it sounds. Ace team of politicians

Trump and Musk cut $1 billion in funds that schools + food banks use to buy food from local producers.

These cuts hurt Arkansas farmers, our kids, and the poorest among us.

Why isn't Sarah using her close personal relationship with the president to protect Arkansas farmers, children, and families?

They deleted ALL the CDC datasets. I have a 160GB archive bittorrenting on my laptop right now compliments of the Datahoarder subreddit who managed to get copies of most of them. We're at the "citizens circulating censored facts using arcane internet protocols" stage of dystopia and it's only Wk6.
