it’s obvious that we have our “Joe Rogan of the left” & it’s Jennifer Welch 👑

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

good organizing also isn’t magic. it is about reawakening our connections with each other, being honest about our self and shared interests. it is incredibly human and it actually makes sense.
I love a school board election
BIG result, folks:

Bucks County, Pennsylvania, was ground zero for the conservative takeover of school boards & anti-LGBTQ policies in 2021, on the Central Bucks and Pennridge boards.

Dems flipped both boards back in 2023.

Tonight, Dems have ousted *all* Republicans from both school boards.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.
I believe pine Richland school board has pulled off the sweep too 👀🫢
dems also swept McCandless town council and Franklin park borough council & mayor 💃🏼
Making it a 7-2 majority!!!
in north allegheny school board news—dems pulled off a sweep 🧹
I owe my career to Beto’s 2018 campaign
This was Beto 2018 in Texas. So many connections/friendships made, so people stayed in organizing. We’re still deep in the weeds down here, even more so now that they’re making us a major cog in the deportation machine, but I got to see what this could look like on that campaign & haven’t forgotten.
One volunteer told me he had made so many friends during the campaign, and lots of people wanted to pet my dog. I am excited to see how the campaign mobilizes the volunteers after election night, and what the data shows.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Justice David Wecht warns that a deadlocked PA Supreme Court would be “disastrous.”
We can’t afford gridlock on our highest court — our rights, democracy, and freedoms are on the line.

When we vote YES, we give power back to the people.

We protect our rights and freedoms, and we stop billionaires from taking over our democracy!
