Democrats want Elon Musk out of government. He might stay in their campaign ads.

Democrats are aiming to make Elon Musk a central figure in their midterm campaign narrative — though there’s uncertainty about whether he’ll remain relevant long enough for it to have an impact.

Buoyed by their recent Wisconsin Supreme Court victory and polls showing Musk's approval ratings slipping, Democratic candidates and strategists see growing political value in targeting Musk, especially given his alignment with former President Donald Trump in efforts to cut government programs.

Mobilizing Black Voters: Are Current Strategies Effective?

As Democrats ramp up efforts to secure Black male voter turnout in Detroit, some question whether their outreach approaches are genuinely resonating with the community. Despite deploying high-profile figures like Magic Johnson and Kerry Washington, concerns linger over messaging authenticity and direct engagement with community leaders. Is the Democratic push simply an obligatory checkmark, or can these campaigns truly harness grassroots support to drive turnout? What strategies could bridge the perceived disconnect and effectively inspire participation? Let's discuss how political campaigns can better engage and empower communities.

Black Voters Matter Launches New Ad Campaign; Contract Urges Political Candidates’ Commit to Protect Voters’ Rights

ATLANTA — Black Voters Matter, alongside its civil rights and advocacy partners, urges candidates running for office this midterm season to sign a printed contract to affirm their support for voters’ rights. 

The contract – part of the larger One Million for Voting Rights campaign –  is a key element of a new ad drive that starts this week. It calls on political candidates to take a firm stance on upholding democracy as voters head to the polls. By signing the contract, candidates convey their dedication to the passage of legislative bills and measures including the Freedom to Vote: John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which, among other things, would restore the Justice Department’s authority to police election laws in states with a history of discrimination; the Admission Act that would make the District of Columbia the 51st state of the United States; and filibuster reform that would eliminate further barriers to voting rights, democracy or constitutional measures. 

Despite nearly two years of Capitol Hill protests, White House demonstrations, letters, petitions, and acts of civil disobedience from voters and activists demanding passage of comprehensive voting rights legislation, voters still do not have free and fair access to the ballot box as we continue to see voter suppression tactics on the rise this election season,” said Cliff Albright and LaTosha Brown, co-founders of Black Voters Matter. “This ad campaign is an extension of our #1MStrong for voting rights work and a reminder that voter rights are still in jeopardy. Along with our partners, we are ringing the alarm and urging all candidates running for office this year to be clear about where they stand on voting rights. With our democracy still on the line, voters should know who they are voting for and hold them accountable.”  

Ads will appear in daily newspapers in Pennsylvania and North Carolina as those states prepare to vote this week. The campaign will expand to additional news outlets nationwide in the coming weeks.

Do you live in a so-called Red State? If so, check your voter registration status today at your county or state Election Supervisors office, especially if you have moved, married, graduated college, or experienced another life change since the last election. New laws in many red states have allowed large numbers of voters to be stripped from the rolls for no valid reason. If you have problems, re-register then contact any voter protection organization and tell them what happened. Blue state voters should also check, just to make sure. #votethemout #vote2022 #election2022 #election #midtermelections #flowers #redrose #flowersinurbia #usa https://www.instagram.com/p/Civd6zUOIuL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Latino Vote: A New Political Landscape?

Wow! Mike Madrid's insights on the Latino vote could radically shift how we understand political dynamics in America. His argument that Latino voters are increasingly driven by economic class rather than ethnic identity challenges long-standing assumptions.

He points out that both parties need to adopt a multiethnic, working-class focus to capture this pivotal demographic. And did anyone else find it fascinating how third- and fourth-generation Latino voters are reshaping electoral patterns, much like the Italian and Irish immigrants of the past?

Madrid seems to suggest that the Democrats are making strides by de-emphasizing racial identity in favor of broader economic policies, while the GOP's appeal may be hampered by Trump’s rhetoric.

What do you think? Are we on the brink of a seismic shift in how Latino voters influence American elections? How should both parties adjust their strategies to genuinely connect with these voters? Share your thoughts!

Sharing this here because it feels necessary. With rising antisemitism on the right and coming from an alarming number of people in government, beware those who are trafficking in antisemitism of an insidious kind - that which demands Jews conform to a certain viewpoint expected of us by some who believe they’re the arbiters of what we should believe. If we are not Zionists, we’re not “real Jews”. If we’re not religious, we’re not “real Jews”. If we don’t fear antisemitism from the left as much as the right, we’re ignorant somehow. If we listen to Palestinians and take their experiences seriously and don’t see it as some kind of psy-op, we’re being manipulated. I’ve been called “kapo” or “fake Jew” more times than I can count for just defending Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib. @eladnehorai is completely correct - conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism destroys the ability for Jewish orgs to fight antisemitism, because then they turn their focus on human rights advocates - including many Jews - rather than, say, the many right-wingers running for/in office whose Christofascist beliefs are somehow acceptable as long as they say they’re pro-Israel.

this is personal…and posting against my upbringing right now… when i made this Polaroid it was because i was choosing my body’s freedoms because it was my right, but it was not always easy growing up as a Latina in a traditional household… this image speaks of freedom to choose… i advocate for women… it is absurd to think that eliminating roe v wade exercises & constitutes “real” freedoms within our society… in reality & ironically it is treating women like children that are “not” allowed to make their own decisions as a freedom loving adult… we birth this planet because we desire to choose that for ourselves not for others to choose that for us - stop distracting the real real reason conservatives choose to oppress women’s rights… you use god yup i said it…because it’s to maintain your conservative power that holds hostage - health, wealth, equality, and justice for all… #roevwade #rbg #vote #midtermelections #polaroidoftheday #photooftheday #polaroid #film #womensrights #health #sheloveswomen #shelovesyou #respect #shesaidred (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdGgrJmFGfc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
