Patty Moddelmog, 32, a San Francisco Pilates instructor, has a grand total of 2 weeks of organizing experience. But she’s become the unlikely face of weekly protests against President Trump and Elon Musk, protests she plans to keep up “indefinitely.” www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/t...

We are melting phone lines. GOP senator Lisa Murkowski admits call volume to Congress is 40 times above normal. The Senate will vote on Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination this week, and we could also see votes on Robert Kennedy Jr. & Kash Patel. Keep calling your senators: www.nixthenoms.com?source=bluesky

This is a great piece.

Musk’s attacks on USAID are putting us in danger. And they’re going to cost us a fortune. Let me explain. #usaid

We have a chance to defeat some of Trump’s most dangerous nominees. But that’s not going to happen unless your senators hear from you: nixthenoms.com?source=bluesky

“Do not be fooled by Trump’s lies: none of the policies in this executive order will move even a single drop of extra water to communities devastated by these wildfires. This administration is presenting us with a false choice,” U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman

We won Round 1 against Trump’s unconstitutional power grab. But MAGA is ready for Round 2, as the White House has stated its intention to continue enforcing Trump’s illegal executive orders. Join us, @moveon.org, and @workingfamilies.org to discuss how we fight back: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

"The panic and confusion, for both immigrants and local businesses that rely on their labor, foreshadow what awaits communities across California if Trump follows through on his promise to conduct mass deportations."

"These victories were made possible by deep, year-round grassroots organizing and fundraising at scale, which freed candidates to spend more time talking directly with voters.” Yasmin Radjy, @swingleft.bsky.social Exec. Director. 🎁 wapo.st/3D7vksR

GOP Representative John Duarte, who just lost his seat in the elections, explicitly tells Reuters that farming interests in his California district depend on undocumented immigrants—and that Trump should exempt many from removal. newrepublic.com/article/1890...

Congratulations to Adam Gray, Congressmember-Elect for #CA13! 🎉 And bravo to all the volunteers who worked so hard on this race 👏✨

NEW: Fresno County just added 244 votes, in what's expected to be the final ballot update in #CA13. Adam Gray (D) netted 22 votes. That puts Gray's 187 votes above GOP Rep. Duarte. That's a lead of 0.09%. All five counties have finished counting their ballots.

Big thanks to all the volunteers who came out this last holiday weekend to cure ballots for Adam Gray in #CA13. It's nerve-rackingly close but we're feeling good about flipping this last seat!

👋👋 Hey friends, your periodic update on #CA13: Adam Gray is still in the lead, but now by 143 votes. Unsure how many ballots are outstanding, but common consensus seems to be that John Duarte may need help packing in January. 😬 Allow this to serve as a reminder that every. single. vote. counts.

👀 Guys these two House races in CA are still SUPER close. #CA45 Democrat Derek Tran slightly increased his lead — 545 votes. #CA13 Republican John Duarte barely leading — 204 votes. 🚨 Sign up to contact voters who need to cure their ballots: linktr.ee/teampelosi

Grassroots groups efforts made a difference in swing districts. The shift to the right that measured 6-7% nationwide was reduced to 1 - 3% in battleground states. We flipped a seat here in California and still have a shot at flipping 2 others. #organizingworks

Our partners at Swing Left Peninsula are right! We need to fight the narrative. This election was neither a landslide nor a mandate. And we're still counting in California! #notamandate #notalandslide

Our website has all kinds of resources for the activist: training guides and videos, messaging libraries, and our latest events & actions. Just added on the resource page is Elizabeth Chur's tips on ballot curing. swingleftsf.com

The House race in #CA13 has narrowed down to 200 votes! We're heading down this weekend to help cure ballots for Adam Gray. Sign up links in the comments.
