AOC has a better shot at 2028 than Newsom does, that prick already threw in his lot with the rightwing podcasters and the transphobes.
Reactionary centrists can whine about "purity tests," but fact is Dem contenders now must have spine & principles. Candidates without that will struggle in 2028.

2028 watch: The most effective ad for Prop 50 came not from Gavin Newsom. It came from AOC.
-Super PAC Future Forward found that Ocasio-Cortez's direct-to-camera ad did better than ads featuring Newsom — Prop 50's chief cheerleader — and Barack Obama.

Scoop: AOC's ad outscores Newsom's in California redistricting campaign
The report is a sign the progressive star could be a formidable opponent against Newsom — even in his home state — in a presidential primary.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

I had an exchange (in my terrible Spanish) with Andry José Hernández Romero, the gay Venezuelan asylum seeker sent, without due process, to an El Salvadoran prison by the US. I told him that I posted a photo of him on here each day he was in captivity & he responded. He said I could share. ❤️
![[my clunky translation]
MJM: This sounds silly, but I posted a photo of you every day when you were in captivity in El Salvador. Over 500,000 people liked the posts. We all think of you. ANDRY: The love and beauty of the American people is immense. MJM: Well, you’re pretty amazing, Andry. ANDRY: & still a lot of work to do but my goal is to say thank you, in front of all of you, in the United States.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:64wqxwi66lsrjsy32ri77z7h/bafkreid6tkxdzs6jedd5yklz6mfouiqqxr4h7d7upd7raw4kvwwozpf7iu@jpeg)

I think I hadn't fully realized until I saw this skeet how much of a leading indicator it was. A lot of what the SC is doing these days is best explained by supposing that they were willing to be sort of normal until they got close enough to the conservative movement's goals they lost all restraint
i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.

Trump and Pete Hegseth just killed three more people in another bombing, this time in the Pacific. The dead were said to be part of a "designated terrorist organization," which is itself utterly absurd. No evidence provided.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!
