Because you sickos love this, here's the updated flip count in legislative seats since the start of Trump's second term, following tonight's Dem win in New Hampshire:

Democrats: 28

Republicans: 0

The core revelation here is that Trump has lost the public *on the mass deportations themselves* and not just on ICE's brutal tactics. We have been arguing this for months but media has simply refused to acknowledge it. Now so obvious that it can't be avoided

The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime.

And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

Reading some top-notch coverage, you'd think only federal elections exist and are happening today.

For instance: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

I'm happy to know how much more informed @boltsmag.org readers are of breath of political power decided on a day like today, thanks to these resources:

When you ask the question in clear language, and do not intentionally merge questions or add clauses to obfuscate (cough cough that contorted third way poll) - abolishing ICE is so, so popular! +17 with independents!

Women across EU celebrate approval of European Citizens Initiative on abortion rights "For the first time, the Commission confirms unequivocally that EU funds can be used to guarantee access to safe abortion care – regardless of where they come from in Europe."

My Voice My Choice coordinator Nika Kovač: "Today is a victory for women in Europe and a good day for European democracy. For the first time, the Commission confirms unequivocally that EU funds can be used to guarantee access to safe abortion care – particularly for women in vulnerable situations."

free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better

You’re telling me a *Gordon* Dentoned this sociopolitical realignment?!

(Sorry/lol/seeing myself out)

(Bc this is exciting and instructive)

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Ok yes AND he’s actually not targeting a nonprofit here, he’s targeting a human, a progressive Black councilwoman (the amazing Janeese Lewis George) running a people-powered campaign for DC Mayor. So, it’s dumb and bad for all the reasons you said PLUS dangerous misogynoir against a real elected!

More like State of the MOONion am I right???

the right really hates it when you call their planned concentration camps "concentration camps." their whole program works only if you make migrants into a scary mass of undocumented criminals coming for white families. its a lot harder when you humanize it. keep it up.

AOC is already second in polling for the 2028 NH primary.

She can win.

Today, I’m releasing the City’s preliminary budget. After years of fiscal mismanagement, we’re staring at a $5.4 billion budget gap — and two paths. One: Albany can raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy and the most profitable corporations and address the fiscal imbalance between our city and state. The other, a last resort: balance the budget on the backs of working people using the only tools at the City's disposal.   The first path matches a structural crisis with a sustainable and fair solution. I know where I stand. New Yorkers voted for bold change and competent leadership. We will deliver both, and we look forward to partnering with Albany to protect working New Yorkers.

AOC on Randy Fine: “This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official — It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this — Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept & normalize it”

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

“Cut ICE’s budget to restore federal health care funding” is an extremely popular message www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

honestly about as big of a psychospiritual fuck you to ICE as i can imagine

what a shot

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

if everyone could take on the “what if we just did the thing instead of waiting for it to happen” energy that much of minneapolis has right now, the world could be pretty good

always disorienting when you say it out loud that minnesota is still under occupation

100%. When I managed my first big congressional back in <whew> ‘12, I was shocked how AIPAC attacked our candidate, a Jewish refugee& community organizer, for refusing to declare preemptive war with Iran.

dangerous brinksmanship.
lying to voters.
Now, funding j6 white nationalists.

Not friends!

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”
