Give the middle finger to Abbot & Trump. 🖕🏻

Last yr, I would have been reluctant to upend the institution of nonpartisan redistricting.

Now? F that. Why protect institutions when the Racist-in-Chief blows them up to maintain his power?

Yes on 50

Too bad the #OrganizingToWin #newsletter went out before @bradcaldana.bsky.social 's #EmailStrategySummit

We'll have to wait until May to see what I learned.

But you don't have to wait to see what I did wrong in the April edition.

Remember when TX grabbed immigrants, put them on buses and planes to Chicago, Martha's Vineyard and DC?

Let's return the favor. TX loves gun so much. Let 'em have them. On the Capitol lawn.

At the @americavotes.bsky.social #StateSummit, I went to a panel about the #2026midterms.

A few speakers referred to "investments," so I asked what they meant, bc I don't mean starting the canvassing in July instead of August.

What does investment mean to you?

After working with #GVP activists, I don't like to call voters targets. Now I build universes of *highlighted* voters.

But I can't think of a better word for the the subject of an action - CEO, elected or appointed official, the boss, etc. Ideas?

“If people want to leave Donald Trump . . . over a conclusion provided by the Department of Justice over Jeffrey Epstein, that does not seem like a rational choice,” the senior White House official said.
