Sometimes Democrats win not due to national messaging, but bc we have great candidates who work hard.

In my old state legislative seat in Southington, high school teacher Chris Poulos personally knocked on 5300 doors.

He won by 1 vote.

Here’s a text he got last night.

Every single Republican in Congress voted against making the biggest corporations pay their fair share in taxes.

Scientists scream ever more desperate warnings

Politicians ignore them

Oil companies make mindboggling profits

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

Do you all know what is at risk? Why aren’t media people breaking the rules and sounding the alarm? Why aren’t millions on the streets demanding change? Don’t people know what is going to happen to our young people and us all, in our lifetimes? https://t.co/8A4r2QjlSm

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control

Yellowstone flooding is your latest reminder our infrastructure is not ready for climate change

“Voters must now prioritize honesty on core issues and commitment to democracy above all else. If we fail to repudiate politicians who lie or who amplify lies about U.S. democracy, more will do so.” https://t.co/Q5qEqj7SUj

A friend from high school works for Google as an AI ethicist, and has been suspended for a whistleblower complaint: he alleges that they have created an AI that passes a Turing test and claims personhood. I’ve known him since middle school, v. trustworthy

Putin has now made it crystal clear. His invasion of Ukraine was never about NATO expansion, and always about Russian expansion.

Jimmy addresses the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

[Ayman @AymanM]

Brent and Shireen were BOTH Americans. BOTH were killed while working on assignment. Yet for The NY Times Brent was “killed” and Shireen “dies”. Shireen was stripped of her American identity. Where she was killed is not even mentioned. Her age is irrelevant. Utterly Shameful.

Is our world being destroyed because those who would defend it are bound by scruples and ethics, while those who would consume it are not?

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

A simple question for Justice Clarence Thomas.

Why are you such a hater?

[Eliza Orlins @elizaorlins]

"This will fall on the poorest women in our country. This will fall on young women who have been abused, who are victims of incest."

Please watch this video. @ewarren is channeling the rage we are all feeling right now. Thank you, @SenWarren.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

It is no coincidence that the same people who overturn Roe also prevent voting rights and encourage partisan gerrymandering. They fear the will of the majority. In other words, democracy.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

The mainstream media barely covered climate scientists getting arrested all over the world in a desperate bid to save the Earth, it is actually even worse than Don't Look Up
