Mussolini said, “…fascism should really be called corporatism, because it’s the merger of state and corporate power.”

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back.

That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Thank you!

Mussolini said fascism should be called "corporatism, because it is the merger of state and corporate power."

Don't just tax the rich, dismantle their hostile takeover of our government.

"The question now is whether democratic societies can recognize this formation for what it is—and build alternatives before the infrastructure of control becomes too deeply embedded to dislodge."
Literally what Mussolini called "corporatism, because it is the merger of state and corporate power."

If the sub didn’t split, you must acquit!

Do yourself a favor and watch Katie Phang's report on the Republicans' big disaster night

Brand new data:

Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).

These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.

Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

Thank you!

From the results last night, I’d say reports of the demise of the Democratic Party have been greatly exaggerated.

Throwing it in his face, and I’m here for it!

Might want to weigh in anyway - they’re required to log calls from constituents.

It’s a well timed demand. Trump do not expect Democrats to hold out for this long, and he lost big last night.

Schumer and Jeffries are taking the right tone here ("Thank you for your attention to this matter," lol). Call both your Senators and tell them you strongly support continuing the subsidies for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Then send our local food bank a generous donation.

Schumer and Jeffries are taking the right tone here. Call your Senators and tell them you solidly support continuing the subsidies for the ACA. Then send your local food bank a generous check, better yet a monthly donation so they can plan.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

I just want to remind everyone that this is a statewide mandate, unencumbered by maps.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
