One point worth emphasizing here: The punditry has been saying Sherrill (and Spanberger) represent the sane centrist wing of the party versus the left. Well, okay, but here Sherrill is urging more fight. Again, the results show that anti-Trump + affordability can *unite* the party. This shows how.
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

We polled Indivisible members over the weekend on whether Dems should take a deal or keep fighting for the ACA subsidies. Results: 98.67% said keep fighting.

Dems who vote to surrender now are fracturing their own party in a way that will reverberate loudly in the primaries.
So Democrats get:

1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Hey NJ! Vote for @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for our state, but also, in @barackobama.bsky.social's powerful words, to set a "glorious example" for the country of how to defeat MAGA.

Over Route 78 in Union yesterday. The honks and "thank you's" from drivers were more enthusiastic than any Friday we've done this before. Momentum is building. New Jerseyans are going to elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social as our next governor on Nov. 4.

SOMA Action had over 2000 people in Maplewood, NJ (600 MORE than in June) for #NoKingsMaplewood. Honored to have had Sen. Andy Kim, the fabulous Sue Altman, Tom Malinowski, and the gorgeous sing-along songs from the great Allison Posner and Eli Bolin!

Please share widely, if you haven't already. Trump and the GOP want Democrats to vote to pass a budget that will KILL people. Democrats need to keep saying NO.

"American fascism looks like the president using armed military units from governors loyal to his regime to seize cities run by opposition political figures and it looks like the president using federal law enforcement to target regime opponents."
Slouching into fascism
Are we already past the tipping point?

Join @somaaction.bsky.social and other groups around the country with the Signs for Solidarity campaign. @indivisible.org has spearheaded but it's up to all of us to reach out to local businesses and ask them to stand in solidarity with immigrants and to stand up for human rights.
