Good news that SCOTUS preserved mail ballot grace periods but very disturbing that 4 justices led by Alito amplified Trump's conspiracies about mail voting, including debunked claims of "voter fraud" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: In a mail voting case, the Supreme Court chose not to do the wrong thing. The laws in many states stand: voters can vote by mail, and if they do so by Election Day, states will count their ballots. Voters should make a plan to vote and their vote will count.

My main takeaway from Tuesday, being outside NY: we need to identify the opportunities, short and long term, for a left ecosystem and run at them with all we've got. If big money is coming to eat our lunch, we have to solidify gains now and start preparing for the terrain to shift.

🧵 Our @cquid718.bsky.social and Local Democrats for Change - Queens Assembly District 28 members are proud and honored to have campaigned this election cycle for our amazing endorsed candidate for Congress, @chuckforqueens.bsky.social 😎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chuck Park, a 50501 Rising Star candidate, managed to win over 42% of the vote against an entrenched AIPAC-backed incumbent without the support of any major progressive group. I’m so incredibly proud of him & his team If DSA, WFP, Mamdani or AOC back @chuckforqueens.bsky.social in 2028, he WILL win

“Over more than a dozen years, Citizens Bank has arranged for and helped provide some $2 billion in financing for GEO Group and CoreCivic. ... Without that money, these corporations literally could not function.”

The police, as usual.

I have never really felt comfortable around the New Jersey State Police. I have my reasons.

They pushed past their own barricade to violate the designated free speech zone (bc in the USA in 2026 we only have free speech zones in certain areas in the “free” country)??

I really don’t give a flying fuk if Talarico is a Vegan, I prefer candidates that haven’t committed numerous crimes like Paxton! I prefer a candidate with integrity and morals not some criminal sleaze like Paxton!

Everything has to change. Everything. Do not settle for politicians who want to go back to "normal." "Normal" was the garbage state of existence that allowed all of this evil to take root and thrive. Everything has to change.

6 years ago I was organizing in the Bronx to help people understand how being involved can make a difference. I'd say it worked, but there's always more to do! AOC had come to one of the Real Politics 101 workshops, it was wonderful to have her create organizing spaces to host more events like that

So proud of my @cquid718.bsky.social crew and especially my slatemates for all the work that went into collecting signatures to get on the ballot!

" This decision has strained trust. We urge NYWFP to reflect and recommit to a transparent, member-driven process that honors the voices of its local and regional leadership."

The Queens chapter and RAC of @nywfp.bsky.social voted to endorse @chuckforqueens.bsky.social against Grace Meng, who takes loads of money from AIPAC - the fact that this was overturned is worrisome and undemocratic. Proud to see @cquid718.bsky.social speak up on it.

We remain committed to the progressive values that have long united us with WFP, but that commitment requires honesty. This decision has strained trust. We urge NYWFP to reflect and recommit to a transparent, member-driven process that honors the voices of its local and regional leadership.

While differences in endorsement decisions are expected in coalition politics, the manner in which this decision was reached—marked by reversal, opacity, and disregard for established process—raises serious concerns about internal consistency and respect for grassroots partners.
