i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

Hawai‘i Has a Rare Opportunity to Reclaim Land From the US Military The US military is abusing Hawaiian land. Will residents be able to exert Indigenous sovereignty and get it back?

Hawai‘i is nearing a pivotal deadline on military land leases, exposing how the US has long abused Hawaiian land and opening a rare chance for Native communities to assert Indigenous sovereignty and demand the land’s return for public and ecological healing.

Bar chart of polling data from Data For Progress. Title: Ed Case Leads a Generic Democratic Opponent by 7 Points, With 21% Undecided. Description: If the August 2026 Democratic primary election for the U.S. House of Representatives was held tomorrow, would you be more likely to vote for Ed Case or another Democratic candidate? Ed Case — 43% Another Democratic candidate — 36% Don't know — 21% October 6–14, 2025 survey of 366 likely Democratic primary voters in HI-01.

NEW HI-01 poll with @ourhawaii808.bsky.social and @indivisible.org:

Among likely Dem. primary voters, Rep. Ed Case leads against a generic opponent by 7 points, with 21% undecided.

While Case leads by 24 points against two named challengers, the race tightens if he faces only one opponent.

See the full polling here from @dataforprogress.org www.filesforprogress.org/datasets/202...

What do voters want? See below.

An unbought, forward-looking candidate who will stand up boldly for Hawai‘i — whether it’s against Republicans stealing our healthcare & funds, or the U.S. Military stealing Hawaiian lands.

That's who should be the challenger to take on Ed Case!

The problem? Two challengers! Both w/strengths & weaknesses.

@jarrettforhi.bsky.social's bio resonates most w/voters & has the strongest numbers w/young & liberal voters needed to win.

@daubelatti.bsky.social has stronger name ID & more resonance w/moderates.

W/both in race, vote split.

NEWS: Polling from @ourhawaii808.bsky.social @indivisible.org @dataforprogress.org shows Ed Case (HI-01) most vulnerable he's ever been. Real path to victory for single challenger who can energize & unite voters under 45, progressives & undecided voters.

"There are about a thousand of us" is devastating.

Worth noting for organizers looking to replicate Zohran’s victory:

Two structural things that he might not have won without —

1. Robust publicly financed elections
2. Ranked choice primary elections

These structural reforms massively help underdog candidates and make democracy more real.

I appreciate @punchbowlnews.bsky.social noting something that's objectively true and necessary context, but routinely elided over:

The House GOP is not away because of the shutdown, but to avoid taking a vote on releasing info about a notorious pedophile because that info implicates Trump.

Unprecedented corruption

“If you can beat the oligarchs here…that will send a message to every community in America that real change is possible.”

More of my conversation with Bernie Sanders on democracy, oligarchy and his time as Mayor.

NEW REPORT from Forbes has revealed the Trump family has doubled its fortune—to a total of about $10 billion.

For Donald Trump, his White House comeback has been “the most lucrative year of his life,” with POTUS raking in $3 billion, two-thirds of which came from cryptocurrency. trib.al/U2Sm4vo

the right move and he should do more things like it

Child mortality used to be 50%. As recently as 1950, 25% of children died globally. Now it’s 4% globally, and 0.3% in some rich countries. A large part of that is better public health and vaccines.

Republicans are trying to take us back to the past.

protect Americas workforce act

Trump is trying to destroy unions so that billionaires can have free reign to exploit workers. Congress must push back against these attacks.

Join @aflcio.org and urge your Representative to sign a discharge petition and pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act: 844-944-4554.

im shocked the guy who said his "investigators" in hawaii looking into obama's birth certificate had found some amazing things is having trouble keeping his base satisfied when one of his biggest conspiracies is fizzling. nobody could have predicted.

We cut child poverty in half with the child tax credit in the American Rescue Plan. We know it worked. We could have made it permanent for about half the cost of Trump’s tax cuts for the rich.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

I just forced Republicans to stop calling me Pee-Pee Boy while they urinate on my face, so I guess you could say we both won big here

Zohran looking out on a victory night crowd.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November.

Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

As he wrapped up his speech, Brad Lander again congratulated Mamdani, whom he cross-endorsed. And Lander, who is Jewish, declared, “We are not going to let anyone divide Muslim New Yorkers and Jewish New Yorkers.”
