Lot of talk about faith in these Shapiro articles. My take on it is that if he runs for president we might as well just douse our synagogues in lighter fluid ourselves because I have zero faith in Americans tolerating it at this juncture in history.

"#PHILADELPHIA (#AP) — #Pennsylvania Gov. #JoshShapiro is opening up about his #Jewish faith at a pivotal moment in his political rise.

The #Democratic #governor is marching toward #reelection in one of the nation’s most important #swingstates, a victory that could propel him into the very top of his party’s #presidential #nomination fight. But he’s also navigating physical and #political risks that have threatened his family’s life and his standing in a party that’s deeply divided by #Israel’s war in #Gaza.

Here are some highlights from a recent interview with #Shapiro:"

Josh Shapiro, in his own words, on antisemitism

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is opening up about his Jewish faith at a pivotal moment in his political rise. The Democratic governor is eyeing a reelection this fall in one of the nation’s most important swing states. If he wins, it could propel him into the very top of his party’s presidential nomination fight. But he’s also navigating physical and political risks that have threatened his family’s life and his standing in a party that’s deeply divided by Israel's war in Gaza. Shapiro spoke about these challenges in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

@locuta Als de midterm verkiezingen niet gestolen worden dan kondigt #trump de noodtoestand af en vinden er geen verkiezingen meer plaats. Zie #florida verkiezingen uitgesteld. Stelen: massaal mensen van de lijst stemgerechtigde afvoeren; gerrymandering kiesdistricten; verwijderen postboxes; kieslokalen beperken of ver weg van kiezers uit #dem districten etc. manipulatie stemmachines waarvoor steeds meer aanwijzingen zijn dat dat bij de laatste verkiezingen is gebeurd #swingstates
Nach US-Abtreibungsverboten: Müttersterblichkeit auf dem Vormarsch

Frauen in US-Staaten mit Abtreibungsverbot haben ein fast doppelt so hohes Risiko, während der Schwangerschaft oder Geburt zu sterben. Besonders betroffen sind Schwarze. Ein Überblick.

@dustcircle Question: What happens if Trump & Co. decide to cancel the midterm elections or ignore the results? I'm well aware that US elections are a matter of the states. But I wonder what it would mean in general if some red states canceled #elections in fear of losing the House and / or Senate majority.

Germany is a federal republic as well, but at least our election law is a national law...

Excellent and rare study from NYT about relocation patterns with political affiliation. Now out of the paywall.

Too many #Democrats are #moving to heavily #MAGA areas.

This is our problem.

We must move to #SwingStates

The battle for democracy is NOT in DC.

It's in the Five #SwingStates that determine the results of the Electoral College in 2028.

Michigan and Georgia have extremely vulnerable Senate races as well in 2026. North Carolina a possible flip.

March to one, take up residency and prepare to vote.

Other possible Senate flips:

Maine
Ohio

Other Senate vulnerabilities:

Minnesota
New Hampshire

We must vote our way out of this!
