i just keep thinking of Virginia and New Jersey last year. the polls just totally missed the insane mobilization of democratic voters and the total collapse of republican turnout. and, like, has anything changed that would *reverse* that dynamic?

What’s remarkable and wonderful to me is all the voter-intimidation they *didn’t* manage to organize. It’s too late for military mobilization; they puttered around idiotically in courts that said no; they talked about butts.

A more diversified economy can handle the strains of economic and military mobilization for longer; democracies, meanwhile, have LARGER economies but their mobilization is gated heavily by world tension etc. So the Fascist countries can mobilize early and peak early.

Ukraine’s Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara and Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapatyi held a joint meeting on the front, Russian mobilization plans, air defense and force requirements. They also set priorities for defense production and planning operations at tactical and operational depth. #Ukraine

the RinTSB has been notified of the plane crash in Florida and will brief after mobilization (dinner)

Rioting is, of course, a form of protest. But the rhetorical trick of “protests work” is not to pull people into understanding the function of rioting and its power, but instead to elevate marching and chanting as equal to the power of quantifiably destructive, aggressively disruptive mobilization.

Lula’s victory in the Brazilian presidential runoff election last week demonstrated that pro-democracy forces can mobilize at a large scale in digital spaces that the far right has dominated for the past decade.

From Gustavo Ribeiro and Lutiana Valadares Fernandes Barbosa:
Lula’s Army: Lessons From Online Political Mobilization
Lula's victory last week carries a lesson about how online political mobilization can be a powerful tool for pro-democracy movements.

she may be a more powerful mobilization vector this way than she'd be any other way. I'm so embarrassed for her that I might make a second small donation to some campaigns today.

Gotta keep two ideas in mind: 1) high Black turnout doesn’t mean that ending the VRA wasn’t bad for democracy, 2) we have to learn lessons from Black mobilization (for example, since the Shelby decision in 2013, Black urban/suburban turnout has done much better than exurb/rural B turnout)
Black turnout is surging in Southern states that passed new gerrymanders or threatened to after SCOTUS dismantled Voting Rights Act

The post-Callais backlash is real and I saw it firsthand on the ground in Alabama www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act is mobilizing Black voters. Just look at Alabama.
Shomari Figures' race is a test case of how big the backlash to the Callais decision will be.

what this probably means is that she *probably* won't have the same kind of factional mobilization against her even if she represents the same progressive forces. it's a strategic play. you can critique that, but you have to acknowledge it.

The combination of polling and turnout data suggests the Democrats are very much going to compete in some of these Red state senate races. I don't think SC is out of the question. The combination of strong low propensity mobilization among Dems and weak mobilization among Rs is a huge deal
Folks, literally every place you look, the news is good. It's not just one state, it's everywhere. Gotta run through the tape etc, but you couldn't ask for better numbers to date

Community Action Alliance is rocking it with the African immigrant voter mobilization in Maine!

As the GOP held the NC House/Senate during much of this period, they put in place barriers to keep people from voting including; Gerrymandering; Closing voting locations; Voter ID.

And getting rid of early voting on Sundays when Black churches did "Souls to the Polls!" mobilization was huge.

This was never about details, it was a (1) a base mobilization strategy, and (2) to lay the groundwork for future baseless claims of election theft
"The analysis also found that thousands of U.S. citizens appear to be flagged as ineligible to vote on the government’s list."
BREAKING: More than 4 in 10 names flagged as possible noncitizen voters in California cannot be found on voter rolls, according to a legal filing.

Community mobilization on behalf of immigrants has meant far more than protests. Mutual aid and neighborly support, observing and documenting ICE operations, litigation, support to immigrants in detention, & direct appeals to public officials have all been central.

Just saw this on Jacob Soberoff's @connectwithjacob.bsky.social

Please pass along to anyone who experiences Trump mob tactics when voting.

🇺🇦🤝 Minister of Defense Khmara and Commander-in-Chief Drapaty held a joint meeting.

They focused on the situation at the front, Russia's plans, in particular regarding mobilization, possible further actions of the enemy, key security risks, urgent needs, countering enemy air attacks.

Part of what makes Carney is worse is also how Carney gets away with more.

When harper attacked public services, there was a national mobilization, and Liberals at least pretended to care

Now? Liberals hold hands with Conservatives in a desire to crush unions, workers, and Indigenous people
Mark Carney’s government is worse than Stephen Harper’s.
I’m worried for what that neoliberal snake Mark Carney is going to push through with his majority.
Privatization of public services, building out oil/gas infrastructure while the country is literally on fire… he’s a danger to humanity.

Let’s look into the numbers behind the russian Aerospace Forces (VKS). Despite industrial mobilization, structural maintenance drag, microchip sanctions, and rapid flight-hour exhaustion are slowly eroding front-line military aviation readiness.
They are producing 14-18 SU-34s per year. So the total amount destroyed and made evens out at around 140. They do loose in metal fatigue and maintenance, hence the sharp rise in accidents
