One of the most successful pieces of far right propaganda was to convince so many Christians that helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, loving all our neighbors, and caring for our planet was “leftist” and wasn’t actually part of following Jesus.

I'm voting Delgado and would urge others to as well - and also be vocal about the fact in order to help push Hochul leftward. Zohran has to do what he has to do politically, but progressives need to keep working to elect more progressives.
I usually avoid sharing what feels like "inside baseball" political analysis here, but this merits an exception because of the stakes + scale involved.
Zohran isn't "wrong" to endorse Hochul; he has no choice. But for primary voters to back Hochul would definitely be unwise. Let me explain why. 🧵

NEW: Mayor Mamdani is set to endorse Gov. Hochul’s reelection run this week, providing her a critical inroad with progressive voters, per four sources.
It deals a near fatal blow to Antonio Delgado's campaign.

It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

The only explanation for this vote by Maine's Jared Golden, who isn't running again, is that he genuinely hates POC and is looking forward to watching ICE hunt them in his district.

• Henry Cuellar

Trump's biggest concentration camp in Texas is rocked by 3 deaths in 33 days - one deemed 'homicide' after a violent encounter with guards. The ICE detention death rate is 10X (!!) Biden's final year

People are dying in ICE detention facilities at nearly 10 times the rate of the Biden years. It will likely get worse.

Honestly I'm shocked anybody but collaborators had a problem with this protest. If one of my pastors was secretly an ICE goon, I'd be thanking protesters for outing them.
If ICE can drag people out of a church, then spare me the sermon about where protest is allowed. You don’t get to sanctify the building after the state already desecrated it. Save the pearl clutching.

MN ICE watch is measurably de-escalating violence. Attraction to ICE for newbies is social approval & group power. Now, larger group meets them with social censure. They're using more agents (taken from elsewhere) to conduct relatively fewer arrests, lowering abductions there & beyond.
