This is the very best thing about jury nullification, and you have to read it BEFORE you get called to jury duty. beyondcourts.org/sites/defaul...

in light of sandwich guy I am contractually obligated to remind you that jurors can always prevent a conviction by choosing to say "not guilty" 🙂 the power to refuse to convict is espech important rn given the Trump admin's rampant criminalization and repression of dissent (and other freedoms, too)

DC peeps, hang this on your fridges to re-read as needed

While he got pro bono legal defense, he is also unemployed because his employer decided to fire him. Here is his Go Fund Me www.gofundme.com/f/help-suppo...

Exactly! The Dems need to take some lessons in grassroots organizing and civic revival stat

Long live the jury trial in America.

Long live sandwich guy!!

Lawyer: The Constitution, our framers, and 238 years of American history all say only Congress has the power to impose tariffs on the American people. Tariffs are nothing but taxes on the American people, paid by Americans. This case is about upholding the separation of powers.

As a small business owner, I am not sure this will help much

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Amsterdam-Noord.

BREAKING: Nancy Pelosi announces retirement from Congress "I will not be seeking reelection to Congress,” she says in a new video. “With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative." www.huffpost.com/entry/nancy-...

Having run three campaigns in my life, I want to give a full-throated Bravo Zulu (that’s Navy speak for well done) to the entire Mamdani campaign for running the singular most effective, tight, polished, relatable, mistake-free, scandal-free, joyous, authentic &effective campaign I have EVER seen.

I think the trial of the D.C. sandwich thrower is going to end in a hungry jury.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom." Coincidentally, an accurate description of our current president.

It's been 43 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Did you know that the GOP Congress has worked less than 20 days since July? Yet we’re still paying their full salary.

This 🧵

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Dear Senate Dems: DO NOT FUCKING BEND!! Stand firm. Not one inch. Do you hear us? NOT ONE INCH!!

This is brilliant

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

"Trump canceled your flight" is about as easy as messaging gets.

It was the blowout Republicans feared, and Democrats desperately needed. A coast-to-coast repudiation of Donald Trump and all his works. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Really wish I had a Senator to call

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Talk to your kids about socialism!! All day, every day.

#ICE stop at Warren and Reno RD NW this morning. No one detained. Video of the entire stop sent to report@filmthepoliceDC, a project of @dcmigrantmutualaid.org and @harrietsdreams.bsky.social. Despite heavy traffic, no one else pulled over or filmed - do better, DC! #chingalamigra

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

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

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

virginia democrats winning the three big offices with a cia agent, an indian muslim immigrant, and a black lawyer who loves committing terms of service violations is real 2025 democratic party moment

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

This is probably my favorite part. Musk and Trump and Miller at the end, too.

The latest, 11pm: —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG; & gain in House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win supreme court —ME vote-restricting measure loses —Krasner & Bragg win —JD's half-brother loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices + Dem are leading to flip so many local offices.

Is it time to call it a referendum on the president yet?

The only bad news so far tonight? It’s not 2026.

I want Zohran Mamdani's social media team to work on... everything from now on.

Next stop, primarying Schumer and Jeffries.

A lot of Very Serious People will be pretending to be confused about What This All Means as a way to avoid the simple inconvenient reality: Voters like it when candidates are kind sincere non-weirdos who are passionate about big popular ideas that will actually help real people.

THE PROPHESY HAS BEEN FULFILLED DAYENU

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

Maine has voted in a landslide to reject a Republican-supported ballot initiative that would have restricted voting access heading into the critical 2026 midterms

So ready for @aoc.bsky.social to primary fucking @schumer.senate.gov

There are so many people who've had a hand in this historic moment, but one person I'm so grateful for is @lindseyboylan.bsky.social. Your courage and your conviction opened a door for so many people and so many futures, and this is one amazing reality you had such a vital role in making possible.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
