Jesse Jackson was an early and ardent supporter of gay rights. In fact, on July 17, 1984 at the DNC in San Fransisco, the first speech EVER at a national political convention calling for gay rights was delivered by none other than Rev. Jackson himself.

One part of Jesse Jackson's legacy I feel able to talk about is that he absolutely helped to pull the Democratic Party forward on gay rights. He did so out of both moral conviction-- because it was right--and a shrewd belief in coalition politics. That's one of many lessons we can learn from him.

Sabey (largest AI data center developer in WA) is revealed to be partnering with ICE to expand Trump’s deportation machine and yet a significant minority of #waleg Democrats are quietly working to protect their tax breaks and let data centers continue raising our energy costs.

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.
Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

Ed tech is profitable. It is also mostly useless

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Sorry, y’all, it’s DEI Settlement now
This race was such a massive swing blowout that Democrat Taylor Rehmet literally won a city called White Settlement

Texas Senate seat is in play with either Crockett or Talarico (I say that with a very strong personal preference for Talarico on policy). Hard to see the Republicans flip mire than one or two of the five house seats they gerrymandered too.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.
