Love is vulnerability. Vulnerability is risk, and there's power in connection and emotion. We can be free.

RESULT: Flojaune Cofer wins a seat on the board of supervisors in Sacramento County.
She's the epidemiologist who narrowly lost the 2024 mayor's race in Sacramento, saying she'd bring a public health approach to homelessness issues.
We covered her then: boltsmag.org/the-epidemiolog…

No increase in Pentagon spending until and unless it can pass an audit. The audit would likely show how to reduce spending and we could use that money for social programs.
A watchdog reports that the Pentagon’s F-35 office can’t accurately track the $31 billion of F-35 parts, can't account for parts reported missing, and has not sufficiently trained staff members to oversee the status of the parts.
So far the Pentagon has lost track of more than 17,000 of these F-35 fighter jet parts worth an estimated $1.3 billion.

Former prosecutor Hugo Holland compared a Black child to "a dog that needed to be put down"
Had a confederate soldier portrait hanging in his office.
Wrote an email in which he said he’d spend Veterans Day looking for “a Black guy or a Mexican."
Kept an AR-15 on his desk.
He stands accused of hiding evidence that would've likely exonerated 16 year old Corey Williams, a Black youth with intellectual disabilities.
This week he was elected as a judge in Louisiana by 700 votes.

Listen...
At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

OK. I acknowledge this for Jeffries.
“You’re the only one who can win that seat,” Jeffries told Moskowitz as he was considering dropping out of politics. “You’re the linchpin for the other three.”

Developer got 💰 for building an "affordable" apartment to put towards the luxury complex next door. Poor folks can't use the swimming pool, bowling alley, etc. The neighborhood went without a grocery store for 12 years behind this project & the comments are full of classists.
Always changing the rules when they lose. Maybe the newly elected folks need to get sworn in the next day to stop shit like this.
Last week, Democrats won enough House seats to block the Republican legislature from overriding Gov.-elect Amy Acton's vetoes.
Today, GOP Rep. Ron Ferguson has introduced a joint resolution to lower the floor for veto overrides. He proposes allowing them with a simple majority.

SLUDGE: “Days before Democrats won control of the Senate, the wife of the strategist running Chuck Schumer’s super PAC registered as a foreign agent for the United Arab Emirates.”

Mississippi got damn🤬
What happened in Mississippi?
Abt 230,000 voters were deemed inactive b/c Experian listed them at wrong addresses.
Civil rights groups warned the state
to reinstate voters purged due to this, but people arrived to vote & found themselves inactivated.
Not coincidence.

So go ahead & brag @CharlesMBlow. Get your 💐 . Drink your 🫖. Eat your 🍱
