Honoured to have been able to write for the Broadbent Institute about the working-class movement my ancestor, William Coaker, led and the lessons we can take from it today to building workers power & fighting the far-right.
"The transformative program of the FPU heightened economic power and instilled a community pride in towns across Newfoundland [...] inspiring hope for a better future and way of life for Newfoundland’s working-class fishermen." – @CoakerDavid

Something striking covering Platner/Jackson was how over-represented wine moms were at their events. Several told me they were “radicalized” after watching their adult children struggle despite having gone to good schools, etc. They were some of the angriest people I spoke to.

Very noteworthy that Tanden is mocking wine moms here. I always thought it was a mistake when Dirtbag left did the same thing: wine moms are a big demographic and show up for elections.

Real talk: the union leader thing is just the left wing version of Mark Cuban. Democratic primary voters aren't voting for someone in a presidential primary who has never held office. Especially someone who is entering with 0 name ID like Fain/Nelson would.
Axios: Mamdani's bid for 2028 kingmaker
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani can't be president, so he's trying to be the next best thing: a progressive kingmaker for 2028.
