While online centrists were having *yet another* meltdown over the diversity of DSA canvass pictures, DSA was busy electing a black woman as mayor of DC with a coalition of working and middle class black voters. Policy, messaging and outreach beats canvass picture diversity!
Yet another op-ed in the NYT saying “don’t talk about climate change” that gets the polling and politics completely wrong.
A recent Gallup poll found climate concern is near an all time high. Poll after poll shows voters want candidates to lead on the issue and show they have a plan to build more clean energy.
Climate is a way for Dems to simultaneously rally the base and win over moderates who *overwhelmingly* trust Democrats more on this issue than Republicans.
It's also a way to wedge the GOP: big majorities of young Republicans care about climate, a majority of MAGA voters support solar, MAHA is worried about the health impacts, etc.
Of course we should be connecting climate to affordability, kitchen table issues, and a working class agenda. Of course we should segment audiences and target our messaging. That’s exactly what advocates and smart politicians are doing.
Going silent is a losing strategy — not to mention a terrible thing for the planet.
"I hope you’ll share my excitement for moving quickly to pilot year-round, car-free spaces in DC. For instance, we should explore making sections of 18th street in Adams Morgan ...free from cars" - @Janeese4DC

Making it easier and more affordable to live in DC means building more housing; strengthening tenant protections; improving transit, bike, and pedestrian infrastructure, and revitalizing public spaces. 🏠🚌⛲
I'm THRILLED to be the #1 choice of @ggwash to do all that.
Every time we drop a new issue, the replies are full of "shouldn't you be giving this away for free?"
Well, we are.

“You didn’t bend over backwards to recruit us, even though we’ve hated you for decades, and you didn’t prioritize our inclusion over competence and fitness for the job, so we had no choice but to destroy you at the public expense.”
Like, fuck off lol.
it’s unreal how many people turned out to The Woodner tenants rally for @aparnafordc and @Janeese4DC!! no other candidate in ward 1 or in the mayor’s race is organizing renters, immigrants, & working people like this, and that’s how i *know* we’re going to win in june ✊🏽🩷💜🧡
What to look for on election night in the #TXSen Dem primary:
1) Votes. The more each candidate gets, the better. And that's likely to determine the winner of the entire ballgame.
2) The map. Votes from outside Texas aren't likely to count at all—unless they were mailed in.
Dems coming on top in the mid decade redistricting is unbelievably monumental.
It feels like the first time we saw a dog playing basketball and actually did something about it instead of yelling in the corner
You have to read this stuff. The morale crisis is worse than even I was saying. These recruits are *scared* and their families are disowning them and there’s an epidemic of needing psychiatric intervention.
NEWS: Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George is running for mayor, stepping into an open race in the wake of Mayor Muriel Bowser's decision not to seek a fourth term. At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie is also meeting with campaign consultants this week for his own run.
