Going to pin this as a general PSA for new followers:
I do not honor requests for donations from individuals who follow then DM me. I am supporting Gaza through a monthly contribution to the United Nations Occupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Fund.
Thank you for your understanding.

Have to quote this again because GoFundMe accounts are following and publicly tagging me asking for donations. I hate having to block these accounts but I will because they're ignoring the pinned post.
This is how I'm helping. Don't push me to pick and choose specific people.

R+6 or 7 is a great result for Dems here regardless but with 93% of 2022 turnout this is terrifying for Rs
they cannot rely on "oh this is just special election turnout differential"
almost everyone showed up and a lot of them voted the other way

14% swing from 2024 when all is said and done? Pretty good considering just how high-profile the race became in the last week
Turnout is currently *93%* of 2022, and it's also a 14% swing from 2022 despite similar turnout levels

So the lesson is: if Republicans freak out, spend all the money they can in the last two weeks, and get good rural turnout, they can limit Democratic overperformance relative to 2024 to 16 points.

It is actually crazy that #TN07 was as close to Generic Republican vs Generic Democrat as you can get (and that's being a little generous to Aftyn Behn) and it's resulting in a D+15 overperformance.

And this isn't your imagination, or a fake problem I'm fabricating to get mad at. It's a few weeks until 2026 and we still have the opinions of *James Carville* force-fed to us like fois gras geese every 2-3 months. This is not normal. It's not. It's not supposed to work like this.

The end of Jim Crow. Roe v. Wade. Same-sex marriage. Obama. Young leftists see these things as normal and don't realize there are people who remember a world before it.
If you're an older leftist you've lived through the revolution. If you're an older rightist, you've lived through the apocalypse.

I will be putting together an end-of-year online fundraiser for progressive congressional candidates...at some point ideally this week. I think it'll be just the House but narrowing this down even to 10 is actually kind of tough and I'd like it to be fewer

Increasingly convinced that freedom of movement and ease of attaining citizenship in one’s chosen country is the great social reform of our time, and once achieved it will have enormously far-reaching effects, mostly positive, on a par with the eight hour day and maybe even the abolition of slavery.
