There needs to be finally be a tangible set of consequences for the type of abject lying that is done about Tlaib, Mamdani, Omar, etcetera by the right most members of the Democratic caucus. There is a reason that the party has a problem with Muslims and it's because this stuff is tolerated.

How do Americans feel about the war? We asked ten big city homosexuals to share their thoughts.

man I wish New Jersey had a longer early voting period I vote in person but am ready to be taken off these mailing lists

I was driving through Bound Brook, a small city within the 12th but outside of any individual candidate's geographic base, and the number of Mapp signs was so much that Brian Stack would have found it excessive—especially since unlike Stack signs none of them were in lawns or storefronts!

NJ-12 yard sign report: like half of these candidates have never met a public or vacant strip of grass they wouldn't plant a sign in

my personal take on this as someone who spent much of last year organizing cross-ideological popular front mobilizations against authoritarianism is that DSA turned out big while Third Way's major contribution was giving concern troll quotes to journalists worrying about the optics

for the most part this also gets easier after 2030, too, because the fastest-growing parts of the state are all the blue parts between Trenton and New York

here you go, an 11-1 New Jersey map that preserves every Dem incumbent's home and plays around with Callais while still keeping the current minority districts in effect.

As Rep. Tom Kean (R-NJ) awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.

if I had a nickel for every time AIPAC elected someone in 2024 who turned out to have completely conned them and been a normie progressive the whole time I would have two nickels which isn't a lot but etc etc

NJCL, NEC, RVL, MOBO, M&E, PATH

i am taking recommendations on leftist ideologies to follow

That's right. Our single member districts are another anachronism that was, at the time it was introduced, a wholesome innovation. Congress forced states to use them starting in the mid-1800s to end the unfair practice of states allocating all seats to the party who controlled the state legislature.

I literally think Polis voted for Trump after the RFK endorsement.

officially the weekend before a primary and I am itching for results unhealthily early

The past ten years as a lawyer who cares about law and justice has felt like a priest receiving definitive proof that God does not exist.

another report is due next week, and after Meg fucking smoked the field I wouldn't be surprised if there were alarm bells going off in Plainfield and Union County Dem headquarters—give here to help replace a do-nothing Democrat with an ICE rapid responder:

I kind of admire how committed NJT is to ignoring all the people who keep telling them that off-peak and reverse service are both the worst parts of the current schedule and the most elastic in terms of ridership

it's Census estimates day, and the vast majority of North and Central Jersey's cities and train station suburbs continue to post steady (and likely underestimated) growth, a bill which is going to come due in primaries up and down the ballot over the next decade or two

The biggest increase in PATH train service in 25 years starts this Sunday... 👍 www.nj.com/news/2026/05...

pop, six, squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipshitz

polis ought to go to fucking jail

refer to my username

I think voters might be a little more enthusiastic about the Democratic party if their elected officials didn't so clearly despise them

not unrecognizable but he does look like if Belgium had a dictator

Polis remains a strong candidate for the Dem with the most negative WAR in the entire country as the governor of what has become a solidly blue state just an absolute clown, freeing an unrepentant wannabe election thief at the behest of a failing tyrant with a 35% approval rating

damn thats crazy anyway actionnetwork.org/events/meg-f...

ooh, making the list in NJ is Passaic County Commission candidate Ali Aljarrah! nerds may remember Passaic County as the heavily Latino and Muslim county that shockingly flipped to Trump, then came roaring back for Mikie Sherrill

I'm cooking them again, even worse this time, let's go

Darkly funny that we’re watching the president die in real time and when he inevitably dies, millions of people will swiftly conclude the visibly decaying 80 year-old was killed by a woke CIA Judeo-transgender conspiracy to shrink video game boobs and make Star Wars worse.

A frequent DMU shuttle on the Lower Coast Line could do wonders to reduce congestion, parking shortages, and drunk driving on the Jersey Shore and support local businesses and nightlife.

Interesting nuance in the Georgia early voting demographics -- the Dem electorate is much whiter than 2022, not because Black turnout is down (it's up solidly), but because so many more white voters are pulling Dem ballots than in 2022: h/t @ryana.bsky.social

So cool

I really wish there was a viable alternative to Chris Pappas in the New Hampshire Senate race.

at no point in this article do they mention “we have a latino trotsky with a dog” which seems a little incomplete

Think an underrated difference between comparing Bernie and AOC presidential bids, even Bernie 2020 where he did have a more developed image and bench of support, is that if (when) AOC announces she'll be endorsed by like 20 to 40 members of Congress immediately

Roots is a bicentennial jawn so in 50 years we went from groundbreaking miniseries watched by the whole country to banning copies of the book

Academia relies on good faith. It cannot be done otherwise. This is precisely why plagiarists, people who fake data, people who deliberately ignore counter-evidence, and fascists need to be driven out. Full cordon sanitaire against this crap.

The issue is that the people coming in are younger (lots of Brooklynites who want kids but can’t afford 2 bedrooms) and racially diverse. The people leaving are old white people. So if everyone you know is going to Palm Beach… well, that’s more about you than it is the state.

New Census estimates are out, and NJ has gained ~250k residents since 2020, a 2.8% increase. I know better than to think actual data will persuade anyone that the state isn’t hollowing out.

[thinking of a take that will make everyone mad] the mods are simultaneously transphobic and way too afraid to ban people

not to resurrect Illinois discourse but I lowkey would not be surprised if Melissa Bean ended up being so conservative she drew a primary in 2 years tbqh

you've got to respect this. jim crow's on its way back and black democrats have decided to trust their colleagues enough that they're going to fucking take one for the team once again. we gotta make it worth it.

crying at this. it's not my fault that doctors got it wrong!!!!

Rep. @repanalilia.bsky.social?

dogs who are Monitoring the Situation are a blessing tbh
