And if you think Gaza wasn’t behind a lot of this turnout collapse, then you’re lying to yourself.
There hasn't actually been a major shift of young people to the right — this election mostly reflects a turnout collapse of young Democratic voters When you account for turnout, Trump in '24 barely got a higher % of youth than when he lost last time
thank you Eric for doing useful comparative percentages, love some statistical rigor in the context of trying to actually figure out what happened

This is one of the most significant things Senate Democrats could do to combat the Trump admin's attack on labor.
FYI the Dems haven't yet confirmed Biden's last NLRB nomination — even though this would maintain a Democratic Board through late 2026
Don't give an inch the meme Trump has some big popular mandate/this is a realignment. Did Harris lose and do the Dems need to clean house? Yes. But margins have slimmed, Trump's overall numbers barely budged, and his coalition is older, wealthier, barely more diverse than 2020.
After major setbacks like Trump's re-election, how do we remain committed to the fight for a socialist future? Lots of insights here in this piece on the importance of political faith versobooks.com/blogs/news/fai…
My take on why all is not lost jacobin.com/2024/11/trump-…
Donald Trump’s reelection is awful, but wallowing in misery only benefits his far-right agenda — and risks squandering the many opportunities we actually have to stop the worst of his plans. jacobin.com/2024/11/trump-…
“Its analysis found around 44% of verified victims were children and 26% women. The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds”
Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children, UN says bbc.in/4fH3RfP

The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee, or EWOC (@organizeworkers), has pioneered an innovative model for labor organizing in the 21st century — one that could allow unions to seriously scale up their organizing capacities, writes @_ericblanc newlaborforum.cuny.edu/2024/08/30/the…
