Trump’s gains among white voters without a college degree were less substantial than his losses among educated white voters, and that appears to have cost him in three states. https://t.co/wJEhsIAKaO

The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

When we win people stand up to take credit. When we lose people look for someone to blame. I did a quick search to verify my guess. My guess based on basic knowledge of the country turned out to be true. Nevada has 200 thousand union members with a population of 2.8 million. Arizona has 100 thousand union members with a population of 7.2 million. The question I have is if latino organizers with union backgrounds are so good why did they succeed in Arizona but fail in Nevada? If using latinx is such a turn off to latinos how were the Arizona latino union influencers able to counteract that when the Nevada latino union influencers weren't?

From my years doing political analysis, I'd say it comes down to a bunch of people went out and did a bunch of shit, and what worked 4 years ago didn't work as much, and some of what didn't work last time worked this, and while some of it was some new stuff that people pulled, and while the nation is largely moving on, a good portion is looking back or staying put, but without doubt the most effective and gamechanging group effort has to go to... sorry, it's in my other notebook - be right back.

Yeah I get it. It's like from my years doing organic gardening, I'd say it comes down to a bunch of shit, and what worked 4 some soils didn't work as much for other soils. Horse shit is better than cow shit. Chicken shit is better than horse shit. And bat shit has such a high concentration of nitrogen is almost the equivalent of a chemical fertilizer like ammonia nitrate. But if the soil is extremely low in organic matter shit isn't enough. Horse stable bedding with it's mixture of urine soaked straw and horse shit is really the best for that situation.
I guess what I've learned if that while you have to do a bunch of shit to win an election sometimes you need more than just a bunch of shit.

Not just the professional and managerial class, but big corporations too, if Trumpism continues to have a stranglehold on the GOP? Just sayin, after I saw this tweet:
And thinking of that in turn reminds me of this recent news item, also WSJ:

Michigan turnout thread
(I'm blocked, so can't read it - hope it's good)
by PeraclesPlease on Wed, 11/25/2020 - 7:45am
It's clear from looking at the thread that she does advocacy journalism for grassroots left purposes. No data. One story for each demographic group, interviews cherry picked for purposes of rah-rah, we can make a difference SPIN; P.R. Which is fine for what it is, but doesn't help analyze results. Zero real proof the people in her stories really represent their demographics.
She actually straight out says what she's trying to do in the first tweet It’s amazing how Michigan voters and democracy activists aren’t cast as the protagonists in their own story, she's trying to cast democracy activists as the protagonists in their own story.
They are all have the same pitfalls and usefulness of like NYTimes' stories along the lines of "who are these rural Trump fans? let's talk to some of them and see if we can't try and figure them out." Except these are all selected for left activist perspective.
