For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.
💡 The DNC released its half-finished 2024 autopsy today. It's not that helpful.
BUT over the past year, various groups and individuals who are probably smarter than the DNC released their own autopsies of what happened in 2024. Here's a thread with all of them. 🧵
This is some of the most interesting research I’ve done this cycle because it puts messages head to head. The outcome makes two things super clear for Democrats:
1. Connect with people on a personal level on the economy
2. Give them compelling villains (i.e. big corporations)
Democrats: Republicans are going to throw everything they have at Talarico. We have to stand strong and defend.
Talarico has a big advantage: Voters believe he's authentic and trust him. It's our job to have his back.
Now is not the time to get squeamish. Fight back.
James Talarico is the future of the Democratic Party.
He unites working people of all kinds to take on the billionaires who are making life unaffordable.
He’s going to show Texas Republicans how powerful working people are when we stand together.
On to victory in November.
if they're laying off @PatrickSvitek in an *extremely chaotic election year* it's hard to see this as anything other than the washington post intentionally shooting themselves in the face
Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term, and is not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."
The government's stated rationale for this killing is that the victim was carrying a legal firearm.
The very people that told us we need to accept mass child slaughter for the right to protect ourselves from scary Obama, now say the govt can kill you if you possess a weapon.
You can see the moment the agent removes the victim's gun from his holster even better here. At no point does the victim appear to go for it himself. Just a pack of utter lies from DHS attempting to do the world's laziest cover-up.
“Roving bands of masked federal agents with total immunity executing gun owners” is the kind of sweaty conservative fantasy we’ve heard over the last 20 years on cable news and now that it’s here, they love it
Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist.
Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard.
We can and must stop this.
This absolutely sucks. The focus for CFB programs should be on recruiting talented high school kids and developing them into good players and men. It has spiraled so far away from that, so quickly.
Signal 5 here is an incredibly important but often overlooked point - fighting about the ideology of candidates completely misses the point. Voters don't think in a progressive v. moderate framework. Great stuff from @WayToWinAF.
The politics we have as Americans ultimately is up to us. We can choose for our democracy to be a dreary march to the drab center or running over groups of people with a metaphorical bus. Or we can choose an imagination battle that realigns the center ...
NEW ADS AND DATA: Democrats are still operating from a place of fear on immigration, but they absolutely have an opportunity to go on offense against Stephen Miller's horrifying ICE raids. This ad, Afraid of Americans, was the strongest approach of the four that we tested.
The timing of this poll out today from @WayToWinAF + @mollykmurphy could not be more prescient.
Trump + his lackey's are sweeping up children at schools, people at their workplaces, & in their place of worship - it's morally wrong + deeply unpopular.
