Why did Trump invade Venezuela? Was it oil? Power? Anti-migrant sentiment? (all of the above)? We spoke with Gabriel Hetland to get to the bottom of this key question. powermapmag.com/why-did-trum...

The Power Map Editorial Board unanimously voted to change our name to either Trump Map or Power Trump. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"There is infinite money in telling oligarchs what they want to hear, and what they want to hear is that the left is bad, moving the left more towards the right is right, and you’re such a special little boy for thinking it." powermapmag.com/the-argument...

"We can try to figure out: do the Right Wing Excusers genuinely want more left wing outcomes, and just wrongly believe that always moving right is the only way to get closer to them? ....But ...is this really the best use of our time in 2025? powermapmag.com/the-argument...

"The mere idea that there can be a 'bottom vs top' politics should not be allowed in serious discourse. By any reasonable understanding, this is what left vs right is." powermapmag.com/it-is-about-...

pretty interesting run down of the recent debates over chi and alexa and what they say about the future of the nyc left

I think this is going to be indispensable to remember over the next few years

After Zohran, the organized left is in a great position. Too bad it's lead to us fighting a bunch. I try to make sense of things.

As any organizer knows, victory can be exhilarating, but it can also be disorganizing. @danielgoulden.bsky.social writes about the debates roiling the New York City left in the wake of Zohran's victory. powermapmag.com/the-entropy-...

we are taking on one of the worst cliches in politics

nice a fun little read that details the mechanism behind why exactly "common sense" is a red flag phrase to me, that I wouldn't have been able to articulate

This week, lefitst antiwar group Code Pink met and congratulated Marjorie Taylor Green for her "anti war" activism. This piece gets at why that was fucking stupid.

“The fact that “right populism” exists proves this, as the right is inherently opposed to empowerment of the masses. The things that populism describes are not political substance, but a way of branding political substance. A way that, when used by the right, is deliberately misleading.” Brilliant

Did the Mamdani-Trump meeting preview a new kind of “bottom vs top” politics? Does Marjorie Taylor Green transcend political labels? Is it time to move beyond "left vs right" entirely? No! Organizer @blimpjuice.bsky.social on the only two sides there are: powermapmag.com/it-is-about-...

Chi Ossé's primary challenge of Hakeem Jeffries is the natural next step for DSA after Zohran's victory—and he can win. powermapmag.com/brooklyn-ove...

We’re the only ones who are going to save us. Fight back. act.dsausa.org/s/3193.pFpMNP

Great piece from @breadnrosie.bsky.social that you should absolutely read today

I wrote some thoughts on the shut down closing and the difference in approach between the elites and everyday people.

Fighting back has costs, but Senate Democrats made it all for nothing. We should stop putting our faith in elites who keep rolling over if we don't want our sacrifices to be in vain argues @breadnrosie.bsky.social powermapmag.com/senate-democ...

Today, with the author’s permission, we offer you a re-printing of a piece @breadnrosie.bsky.social wrote for @powermap.bsky.social. Rose lays out why Janet Mills represents a centrism that does not meet the moment, and is a bad choice to represent Mainers in the Senate.

Instead of Arguing about the latest Right Wing Excuser poll's bizarre methodology, just tell them they are Right Wing Excusers and move on

Great quick summary on Janet Mills record. #mepolitics #maine

i wrote about governor mills and why she is in no way a progressive as so many people seem to think

This is the concrete breakdown of what's going on with an extremely misunderstood Maine Senate candidate you need:

Have you been following the Maine Senate race and been deeply confused. @breadnrosie.bsky.social has the breakdown you've been looking for.

Contrary to her national reputation, Janet Mills is more often a roadblock to progress than a champion of it. Read more about her and her time as governor in our new piece by @breadnrosie.bsky.social powermapmag.com/maine-voters...

We all need to prepare for the onslaught of misinformation from the right attacking renewable energy projects. Luckily Power Map's got you covered on how to fight back: powermapmag.com/the-battle-f...

Power Map contributor Olivia Reingold has been let go from Power Map for being unfunny. We apologize for hiring her in the first place and promise to better vet our writers for the ability to do bits.

some good fucking food

Excited to debut in Power Map! If you've ever been mad about about a bad op-ed, please give it a read:

sounds like some Right Wing Excusers to me! bsky.app/profile/powe...

When I was in kindergarten, I learned that if you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. And when that problem is a fascist regime destroying people's lives and, yes, of course, their livelihoods, doing anything to enable them is part of the problem.

Like all radical centrists, The Argument's real project is to excuse the evils of the right. @blimpjuice.bsky.social on why we should stop taking Right Wing Excusers in good faith, and start treating them like the fascism enablers they are. powermapmag.com/the-argument...

Prosecute ICE powermapmag.com/prosecute-ice/

Lakshya Jain is misrepresenting his own poll to score points for Reactionary Centrism. Zohran is less unpopular than both AOC and Kamala Harris! There's a lot to learn from Zohran. Read more at: powermapmag.com/no-kings-soc...

For Power Map, I write about the necessity of local governments to prosecute ICE agents, both to stand with immigrants and to safeguard democracy.

ICE is a lawless agency, an agent of authoritarianism, that must be resisted at all costs. The time has come: Prosecute ICE. powermapmag.com/prosecute-ice/

"The point of asking Zohran [if Cuba is a dictatorship] is to divide us. We do not have to take the bait." @dsacuba.bsky.social sky.social cochair Danny Valdes (@through.blog) writes for Power Map on Zohran's comments on Cuba and how we respond. powermapmag.com/cuba-dictato...

the idea of a "left tea party" or similar gets thrown around a lot as a vague idea, but this is the first really concrete analysis of it I've seen

Whatever this poll means, its clear: Democratic voters don't want the same corporate candidates, they want something new. Check out @breadnrosie.bsky.social on the phenomenon of the "Democratic Tea Party" moment: powermapmag.com/the-democrat...

Many are asking what will happen to Bari Weiss. She has been let go for being too woke.
