I am Jewish. My grandparents were Jews who escaped the Holocaust. Pogroms were a common practice, ethnic cleansing too, and they managed to escape before the Holocaust. Most of their family members are dead, we’re a broken family tree with missing spots. I support Palestine BECAUSE I am Jewish.

Winnewissa Falls in Pipestone National Monument. I love our public lands and want them to remain preserved for future generations, so I’m voting with that in mind. I’ll be voting straight-line Democratic, because it’s the only way to put a check on the movement that wants to sell them off.

Fucking facts. Democrats are held to a much higher standard than the Rapepublicans. While they "smash and grab", we're expected to clean up behind them. Every.Single.Time.

Gov. Beshear: Elect Democratic governors. We do things Republicans can't. We govern well. We invest in education, in good jobs, in safe roads and bridges, in public safety, the types of things that lift everyone up and leave no one out.

And those wins for all of us will not be accomplishments of the "That Dem isn't good enough on an issue that matters to me so I won't vote and will help elect the Rethug that is worse" people.

These numbers are telling. CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicans’ 206. Look at what voters are saying: • 65% say the economy is bad. • 57% say Trump’s policies have hurt them financially. • DON’T MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

The persecution of @repilhan.bsky.social just days before an election is vile and politically-motivated. I'm leading 175 House Democrats in denouncing this. When we retake power, we have to seriously look at how we can stop these abuses of power — starting with the power of the purse.

Tommorow, when I will vote for the Joint List (ודם), the only non-Zionist party in Israel, I’ll think of everything that was done in our name More than 70,000 Palestinians were murdered, 20,000+ of them - children I’m voting for my friends that live in Gaza and the West Bank, they can’t vote 💔

SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. WE WILL NOT BE SPLITTING THE TICKET. OSSOFF "MY BABY DADDY" WILL WIN AND KEISHA WILL WIN. Don't fuck up the game cause you're racist, antisemic, sexist, or just a complete dumbass.

Won't happen if the single issue voters succeed in convincing just enough people to not vote because the D candidate is wrong on one issue.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Florida is worth fighting for. I know it and you do too. Down here on the ground, we know something the pundits and donor class seem unable to see: Floridians are ready for change and we are the heroes we've been waiting for to see us through. #AngieforFlorida

NOt voting to allow a Rethug to win because the D is bad on trans is harmful to the rest of us and trans people. Why? because climatechange/corruption/racism/healthcare/protecting democracy/foreignpolicy/protecting children and more. And it's not like the Rethug will be better on trans issues!

I get the disgust with the Dem but I do not understand throwing everyone in the state under the bus and inflicting upon them all of the bad outcomes that come from electing a Rethug--who is also terrible on trans issues.

This horse waited his whole life for this moment. In 1997, a horse jumped over a fence and joined the peloton of the of the Critérium International, eventually passing it, leaving the race only 20 km from the finish line. Original post

Oh so let the fascist win who will do worse to trans people and everyone else too because obviously to you people who aren't trans are of no importance. Gotcha. I understand now.

In case trans people and allies need another reason to abstain from voting for Turek, Matthew Yglesias is supporting him.

Israel is just 2 days away from a critical election, and thousands of protesters are filling the streets of Tel Aviv demanding Netanyahu’s removal! They’re demanding accountability for October 7 security failures and an independent commission of inquiry.

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

Voting is not about an individual's personal virtue. It's about what is going to happen post-election to all of us.

John Pavlovitz@johnpavlovitz.bsky.social

Though you may sincerely believe it, not voting is not a bold statement of virtue. It is not a brave ethical stance. It is not a strong message to a corrupt system... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

It's the smart thing to do, whether Kamala or Abdul. And those who screamed at KH over this need to do some thinking.

Kamala Harris was called the devil when she campaigned with Liz Cheney. I will never forgive or forget that. www.newsweek.com/abdul-el-say...
