🚨 23 DAYS TO GO.

I've also created a SECOND NJ page focusing on the REDDEST districts in the state.

Most of these Dems likely won't win, but funding them means they can run competitive races & force NJ Republicans to defend "safe" turf.

“Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich, who accompanied the labor leaders, said that Leo was well aware of the situation on the ground.”

“‘I really didn’t have to tell him much at all, because he seemed to have a handle on what was going on,’ Cupich told the AP afterward.”

I just finished Robert Gehl’s new book on Mastodon and can’t recommend it enough: it’s the book I wish I had when I joined here 3 years ago; it’s the book that fills in back stories to recurring topics here that I couldn’t quite grasp; it’s the book to give others —friends, developers, researchers, policy makers, grant bodies— on what the fediverse is about; and it’s that amazing thing —an academic text that’s enjoyable and easy to read.

We need more of this! @rwg

“[The Trump] administration has no authority to designate groups as domestic terrorist organizations, as is obvious from the failure to cite any statute or constitutional provision in support of the president’s action. There is none, and the purported designation has no legal effect.” https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/trumps-orders-targeting-antifascism-aim-criminalize-opposition

Highly recommend this entire Brennan Center report on the Trump regime’s effort to criminalize -and invite violence against- opposition to it.
