WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

🧵 “Missouri wasn’t like this when I was growing up.” Republicans have controlled the Missouri legislature since 2002. What’s their legacy? Struggling towns, crumbling roads, 4-day school weeks, and 19 hospital closures. They’re arrogant enough to think you won’t notice they caused the failures.

Trump’s approval amongst 18-29 has gone from +5 to -29 in just a few months. It can go much lower than that, and it will as

Libraries are key institutions in a democracy. The Trump admin gutting IMLS is part of a broader agenda to undermine education, whitewash history, ban books, restrict access to public goods, & ensure we’re socially isolated. In case you needed another reminder that reading is political!

Frankly, Cori Bush should have been as protected and supported by white progressives as Bernie Sanders has been. I don’t agree with everything Sanders or Bush has said. But every shut eye ain’t sleep. And don’t “well, actually” me. If the US left keeps dismissing our concerns as idpol, we lose.

I wish I could find dark humor in the fact that red, rural, Trump-voting communities will be most likely to lose their libraries if the IMLS is defunded. But instead my heart is with all the undeserving folks who will be harmed. 📚

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Here's what I've been hearing lately: Librarians are going to save us. Black women are going to save us. Young people are going to save us. Somebody needs to save us. But if we all do something, no matter how small, we can save each other.

ONE parent. And in Florida, ONE man is responsible for 40% of all book challenges in the state. The book banners are a tiny minority. Make that clear by speaking up in favor of the freedom to read. (Email your school board!)
