Honored to have received your endorsement @RoKhanna.
Working people yearn for a politics that speaks to our material needs: universal healthcare that includes abortion services, social housing, guaranteed jobs, taxing the rich; no more $$$ for wars, oligarchs, or data centers. We got us!
RootsAction was proud to support three progressive candidates who have won their primaries tonight @bradlander, @claireforny , and @DarializaforNY .
Voters overwhelmingly rejected corporatist Democrats in favor of candidates who were wiling to say the word “genocide” and who spoke to the people, not big donors.
👀 Who governs California’s coast—the people of California through environmental protections, or a private corporation backed by federal contracts?

If Tom Steyer wins, that could send positive shock waves through the Democratic party.

👀"The Becerra-Steyer clash is a major ideological battle with enormous consequences for the future of California, it can also be seen as a proxy war of sorts in the race for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination."
I’m not into black listing anyone from future work in their area of expertise but I do think it’s fair to want a whole new crop of foreign policy staffers in the next democratic administration. It’s not like the same 120 people are the only people who know anything.
‼️ In an autopsy of close to 50,000 words, not one of them is “Gaza”, or “Palestinians” or “Israel” or “genocide”.
Ken Martin: “there’s a divide in our party on this issue.”
Reality: Only 8% of Democrats approved of Israel’s military actions in Gaza.
The report also leaves out:
-- Joe Biden's decision to run for re-election and then dropping out way too late
-- Kamala Harris being coronated as the nominee without voter input.

Reaction from Roots Action cofounder, from the group that had protested at the New Orleans meeting and flooded the DNC with emails calling for its release. They call it "almost worthless" and said they'll release a lengthier reaction later.
Jeff Cohen co-founder of RootsAction: “We needed a serious DNC autopsy. This alleged autopsy is almost worthless. There's no mention of the Biden/Harris administration's Israel policy that abetted the Gaza massacre. That cost votes, and helped Trump win. Earlier leaks suggested that the DNC autopsy would discuss Gaza's impact on voters. There's no criticism of Biden for his insistence on seeking reelection, or the lack of any kind of open process to choose Biden's replacement. No analysis of Harris for her lack of principles — leading to her avoiding media platforms reaching millions of potential voters. The only serious autopsy so far remains the one that RootsAction published: https://t.co/TgdHCSDGp6"

We are thrilled to announce that our people-powered peace campaign has been officially endorsed by @ShastaDSA.
Together, a better world is indeed possible!
Establishment Democrats don't get it.
There is no amount of consulting, brand management, influencer outreach, or narrative shaping that can save a campaign with no message at its core.

Why are the Democrats STILL hiding their 2024 election autopsy?
➡️ "[Ken] Martin has made sure that the DNC remains mum about the genocide that took hold in Gaza, enabled by the Biden administration’s massive shipments of arms to Israel"

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨
What an honor it is to be endorsed by @CAIRAction!
Their mission is to engage, educate, and mobilize Muslim voters, train emerging leaders, and champion policy priorities that enhance the well-being and representation of Muslim communities.
Through their work, we aim to foster a more equitable and inclusive democratic society where the rights and voices of Muslims are acknowledged and respected.
Scoop: Another progressive group says it will back Tom Steyer for gov. @Roots_Action will formally endorse tomorrow, they tell me.
"The irony is not lost on us that RootsAction is a group that rails against corporate and billionaire influence over the Democratic Party," cofounder Jeff Cohen said.

While the consultancy class looks out for their own paychecks, voters are demanding honesty.
You can email DNC leadership and tell them to release the autopsy now.
Take action here➡️ https://t.co/zHyxjMrABF
There's nothing logical about this at all.
That’s why we’re continuing with our campaign demanding a full release of the DNC’s autopsy report on the 2024 election disaster. #ReleaseTheAutopsy

2024 was a preventable disaster. #ReleaseTheAutopsy
"RootsAction last year released its own autopsy of the 2024 election, which found that the Biden administration’s support for Israel hurt it among voters, while also blaming the party’s strategy of courting corporate donors instead of organizing working-class voters who shifted to Trump."
