Warning to MA voters: the CA experience shows what a disaster the MA "top 2" nonpartisan primary ballot question would be. In a blue state like ours, could mean Rs picking their favorite D winner, or a R winner in a solid blue race. Vote NO this November! www.zocalopublicsquare.org/california-n...

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Wow, Trump not only botched this TX racial gerrymander (subject to SCOTUS appeal), but kicked off a national response (CA, VA, ??) that might wind up adding Dem seats next year. Well done!

The anti-voter SAVE Act failed in Congress thanks to widespread opposition. Now, its proponents are pressuring the Election Assistance Commission to enact a similar “show-your-papers” requirement for voting. Will you speak out against this attack on the freedom to vote? bit.ly/4ngSyyl
