@404media.co , @jasonkoebler.bsky.social do great work tracking public surveillance systems used to track Americans. If you have not seen their reporting, I highly recommend it. I've noticed more and more automated license plate readers every week. So, I wanted to 🔎.

Bill ackman: I disagree. Sliwa staying in convinced many Cuomo voters it was a foregone conclusion so they didn't vote. If Sliwa had dropped, Cuomo could have won.

Forgive the Revolutionary War symbolism.

Today, NJ & VA were at a pivotal moment — just like during 2 defining periods of the Revolution. This time, two strong women stood against the pull of authoritarianism.

NJ & VA became beacons of victory & democratic strength for a nation needing it.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.

Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.
