How different demographic groups are moving on the generic ballot The Democrats are polling well with all voters, but especially independents and rural ones

New: How are key demographics moving ahead of the 2026 midterms? We model the generic ballot by demographic group, using crosstabs from every 2026 generic ballot poll, to see how the race is shaping up.

WATCH: @amandacarpenter.bsky.social breaks down the Trump administration's weaponizing of the federal government to embrace election conspiracy theories and undermine public confidence in the midterms โ€” just in case Trump isnโ€™t happy with the results.

Itโ€™s time to join efforts to flood the zone with factual, good information on voting. Get rides to the polls set up. Partners with nonpartisan groups to get every household solid information and keep hammering on facts and truth facts and truth. Use flooding the zone in a good way, for once.

The key to getting out of the grip of abusers is to take back your power and control; donโ€™t get freaked out by every threat (but expect theyโ€™ll do anything). Get strategic. How can we end this? Nonviolent/civil disobedience movements have already shown the way. It takes coordination & time.

I think itโ€™s more about understanding abuser patterns, &less about predicting actual events. We know this regime is made up of abusers, & they follow a pattern: when their perceived power is threatened they escalate behavior to control until they feel safe again. They will do anything they can.

Removing the pillars of regime support and strong local community-building that meets peopleโ€™s needs without having to rely on establishment structures. ex, shame GeoGroupโ€™s vendors so badly that concentration camps canโ€™t function while building a local time bank to meet neighborโ€™s needs.

Thomas warns proposed budget cuts could undermine election security in CT Connecticutโ€™s Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas has urged lawmakers to reject proposed budget cuts to her office because they might undermine election security.

CTโ€™s Governor Ned Lamont is proposing almost 1M in cuts to elections in the state, which is (pardon my French) bat sh!t crazy right now. Perpetuating the cycle of punishing the little guy while avoiding fairly tax/regulating wealth will see him handily beaten in Nov.

Cornyn reverses on filibuster stance to push Trump's SAVE Act in Senate Sen. John Cornyn urged Republicans Wednesday to consider filibuster reform to advance Trump's voter ID bill, reversing his past stance as White House urges passage.

I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever posed a Fox News article, but this is proof positive that the pressure the Dems are putting on reigning in ICE/DHS is working. We are counting on you to stand firm. Do not cave, @housedemocrats.bsky.social

The most frustrating features of the anti trans side is how they constantly cite systematic reviews as objective when they're filled with subjective choices that can be adjusted to ensure certain outcomes. From exclusion criteria to individual analysis, it's still subjective. This is the proof.

Saying,โ€œnot all Dโ€™s/Rโ€™sโ€ doesnโ€™t cut it,& party loyalty doesnโ€™t either.We are, however in a fight to see whether weโ€™ll even have a democracy where we can chooseโ€ฆanyone.Thatโ€™s a pretty big umbrella weโ€™ve got to get people under: do you believe in pplโ€™s right to self-determination?Then youโ€™re with me.

A reframe Iโ€™ve found helpful is moving from D&R are the same to: those beholden to capitalism behave in the interest of money & power, not people. Thatโ€™s helped move me from feeling cynical & hopeless to empowered b/c I know where to put the energy of my righteous anger.

I know why: because youโ€™ve been told to. If you think it canโ€™t happen to you; youโ€™re exactly the one theyโ€™re targeting. Thatโ€™s exactly WHY brainwashing works: beacsue you belive pure immune to it, you arenโ€™t vigilant against it & will defend your new โ€œbeliefsโ€ harder than anyone else. #turnthemoff

Paramount, CBS, CNN, & TikTok are all poised to become the new Fox News. (A project to brainwash rural America starting in the 70โ€™s.) Turn them off NOW before youโ€™re one of the people who says, โ€œI hate so&so. No- I donโ€™t know whyโ€. Donโ€™t be that person. Turn them off.

Bye bye, Noem. Dems did one thing right; they got her to commit the one unforgivable crime: she threw Tiny Hands under the bus. Make no mistake:
1) Women are in positions of leadership in a cult only to recruit other women & take the fall
2) The next guy is going to be worse. Keep the pressure

Definitely not. Even more importantly, the US wouldnโ€™t be moving to take over the western hemisphere. Ecuador is the latest place the US has intervened in b/c of โ€œdrug cartelsโ€. We need to be loud and massive on March 28th #nokings and intensify organizing to cripple this regime.

The plan isnโ€™t distraction from the files or one specific thing: itโ€™s ALL the things all at once, and taking over the western hemisphere is one of them. Seems like by summer/fall itโ€™ll be a great excuse to also be at war and need emergency powers to steal the primaries/midterms. ๐Ÿงต/4
