polls are kind of up and down. really don't know who's going to win this.

please vote for Stratton if you're in IL. Kelly is for better or worse not going to win, and Krishnamoorthi is a centrist who has run a pretty vile and misleading campaign.

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

this is pretty gross. Raja's got a trump funder boosting him and boosting robin kelly as a spoiler.

his whole campaign has been grotesquely deceitful and cynical. I sure hope people see through this sham.

NB: I have really appreciated the impact of the Girl, I Guess guide in getting people to understand and care about and vote in local/municipal races and to surface progressive candidates regardless of official party support.

But no voter guide is perfect, of course, and it's wrong on this race.

Cannot emphasize enough: if you don't want the crypto/techpawn Senator, you should vote for LG Stratton

There are several other reasons for a progressive to favor her over Kelly. And a point or two Kelly has in her favor.

But at this pt it's most important to guard against a downgrade from Durbin

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Bad economy, insane numbers for Dems even not doing much, Talarico is a good campaigner, the GOP candidate is going to be insane--basically the best environment we are probably gonna see for it to happen in Texas.
