Don't let the words or actions of a few speak for the many. Let's see how this all goes......politics is a game of addition, not subtraction and 2024 to me is about growth expansion in every way we can.
Absolutely with Simon on this. I'm a rabbi who also has interfaith ties with Muslim and Christian colleagues. This is an agonizing time for the Jewish community in America, and it's also agonizing for the Muslim and Arab communities in America. Hate crimes are up against both. The suffering of Gazan civilians is enormous and hits hard in the Arab-American community, including among those who have been active in peace building and interfaith work with the Jewish community. I have to hope that after this war, when Biden and other allies shift focus to trying hard for a renewed peace process that affirms Palestinian and Israeli needs and rights that feelings will shift in much of these American communities that are feeling a lot of pain and abandonment at the moment. And then the contrast with Trump's outright racist and far right allegiances in Israel will be much more visible.
More good news on the economic and campaign front!!
HCR reported these comments by the president in Los Vegas discussing his $8 billion rail bill.
"In a speech in Las Vegas, Nevada, announcing the rail plan, Biden called out his predecessor, who “always talked about infrastructure week. Four years of infrastructure week, but it failed. He failed,” Biden said. “On my watch, instead of having infrastructure week, America is having infrastructure decade.” “Trump just talks the talk. We walk the walk,” he said. “Look. He likes to say America is a failing nation. Frankly, he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about. I see shovels in the ground, cranes in the sky, people hard at work rebuilding America together.” Go Joe!!! We're with you 100%
Just donated to both! I have 4k followers on Twitter and would love to repost something similar from you to spread the word. Would it be possible for you to post something like this there?
Thank you Lucy! Yes you can post this to Twitter with a note on top. Try it out and see what happens. It will direct people to the page so they learn more, give, volunteer. I've already added some additional volunteer opportunities for Tom Keen, and more will be coming from Suozzi, quickly. Let us know what happens!
Note that the one of the first people to retweet our promotion of this new program was DNC Chair Jaime Harrison! Thanks for helping spread the word (and some Hopium) Lucy!
Simon, pls set up a WEEKLY donation for these two candidates b/c the need is great snd the time is short ( monthly is nit efficient for this time frame!). Happy Holidays, peeps 🤗
I went browsing news again today and inadvertently stumbled on news that yet ANOTHER GODDAMN POLL showed Biden behind Trump.... I think this was a WSJ/NBC poll. seriously what gives ?! Sorry to vent I seriously would not know what to do without Hopium. Old habits die hard. Back in '08 & '12 I used to browse RCP and FiveThirtyEight all the time for poll binging. I seriously hope this doesn't hold....
We have work to do in re-assembling our coalition. We have time to do it, and good arguments to make but we have work to do, no doubt.

That's great language to contextualize the investments. Nicely paints a picture in the mind's eye.
Just donated to both. Thanks Simon!

will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion! S
I just donated to Suozzi. Time to wipe away the embarrassment of fraudster George Santos by electing a real Democratic public servant.
