Corruption eats away at our politics no matter where we live. That’s why we need to build an anti-corruption movement to fight against what we see from the Oval Office to our own communities. I went up to Trenton today to stand up for integrity in the face of corruption.

We’re on the ballot!

Today we filed more than 1,500 signatures to get on the ballot for the primary — all collected in the last week with a team of volunteers.

THANK YOU to everyone who knocked on doors and talked to their neighbors about this race. You all made this happen! Now let’s win this!

I am ecstatic that @analiliafornj.bsky.social came second in the number of signatures for the petition. We worked hard during the holiday week to collect these signatures. The machine tried very hard to prevent her from reaching the threshold. And she showed them! newjerseyglobe.com/congress/fou...

The outcome of a statewide school segregation lawsuit could lead to sweeping changes for NJ students. But as the case drags on, some school districts are already taking steps to integrate.

I just finished testifying in front of a NJ State Senate hearing against a bill that would weaken our fight against corruption. I stood alongside AG Platkin and Comptroller Walsh to call on state senators and members of the assembly to vote against this wrong move.

It's really this simple: The voters should get to decide who represents them in Congress without *anyone* putting their finger on the scale.

It's the small 'd' democratic thing to do and it's what's best for the party. People need to know their voice matters.

So much contempt!
Now Matt Platkin and Beach are going at it. Beach says Platkin is the problem that sparked this bill. Platkin says, “I thought we were talking about the bill.” Beach says “your leadership is lacking”

have never seen anything like this! Sen. Jim beach is making a cabinet member, the attorney general and a sitting U.S. senator wait five hours and still hasn’t called them to a hearing on gutting a state corruption watchdog. Three people tried to yield to @AndyKimNJ and Beach refused.

everyone is trying AND FAILING to yield their time to the US fucking Senator who took the day off to testify against this, because Trenton does not want to hear his testimony (multiple people have tried to yield to Kim and Beach is rejecting each one in turn)
The committee called policy analyst Peter Chen to testify. Chen, who said Andy Kim has a train to catch, offered to give his time to Kim. Chairman Jim Beach said no, sparking murmurs in the crowd

apparently the committee hearing, now ongoing, is such a mess that the committee chair, Camden Dem chair Jim Beach, is actively preventing Andy Kim from testifying against the bill?

It is vital to assess the mechanisms and mythologies behind why the news has largely ignored this and why, e.g., the Democrats have supported building much of this infrastructure. I discuss it in depth in Copaganda, with all royalties donated to anti-surveillance charity. bsky.app/profile/equa...
I just received the first copy of Copaganda! It will be sold anywhere books are sold. I try to explain the role of the media, the police, and academia in how we got to this authoritarian moment.
