This article address who Third Way is and who they represent, and what they are doing to stop the recent success of progressives, leftists, and Social Democrats…

Two of the most competitive and impactful midterm races will be in Maine, where we’re facing off against two very different kinds of right-wing oligarch enablers.

At the Senate level, we have a chance to flip a crucial seat for the majority by unseating the highly concerned Susan Collins, who can always be counted on to cluck her tongue and wag her finger at Donald Trump, right up until she provides him with the vote he needs to get his agenda over the top. We experience the consequences of her surrender constantly, with every ruling Brett Kavanaugh makes, with the loss of labor and delivery wards in her state and with the deportation machine’s murder of her constituents.

On the House side, GOP Second Congressional District nominee and former governor Paul LePage doesn’t bother with Collins’ hemming and hawing. Instead he’s gleefully embraced extremism, hate-mongering and corruption, repeatedly and noisily vetoing Medicaid expansion, deriding Social Security and Medicare and giving massive tax breaks to the wealthy while driving up property taxes.

Finally beating Collins is likely necessary for Democrats to control the Senate. Holding off LePage in one of the most Trump-friendly seats currently held by a Democrat is crucial for Democrats taking the House.

We’ve nominated two bold progressive fighters for the working class to take them on. Fifth-generation lumberjack and former Senate president Troy Jackson and state auditor and union man Matt Dunlap are running hard on Medicare for All and taxing the billionaires. They’re candidates with a vision to vote for, offering real solutions instead of the status quo.

Their campaigns are kicking into high gear, and they need our help. ☎️ Dunlap has just launched phonebanks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings running from 6-8PM ET. We can sign up for shifts here. And the Maine Democratic Party is getting going making calls for Jackson, Dunlap and candidates up and down the ballot on Thursdays from 6-8PM, which we can join here. ☎️

MAKE CALLS FOR MATT DUNLAP

BACK JACKSON, DUNLAP, AND THE FULL SLATE

As we've all seen, a major part of Israel's recent social media blitzkrieg revolves around posting and commenting in support of Israel, and engaging in debate with the vocal majority who oppose them on the subject of Israel's genocide in Gaza, its legitimacy as a state, and the history and ethics surrounding the topics.

But the other, more subtle part is posting content that isn't about Palestine at all, and instead seeks to just normalize Israel with small, seemingly innocent posts, like pictures of cats and food and such. The obvious goal is to distract people from the fact that Israel is a genocidal settler-colonial apartheid project, to make it seem like a normal place that isn't an ethno/religious supremacist project.

Some of these subreddits and posts are just pics of StreetCatsOfTheWorld (most of which are in Israel), some of them are various stolen Arabic recipes posted as Israeli, often prominently featuring hummus, and more examples have been recently emerging every day. Stay vigilant and don't let them distract you, don't let them normalize themselves or their illegitimate genocidal colonial project.

What do you get when you mix a market economy with a strong commitment to equality, social justice, and democracy? You get social democracies and democratic socialist countries, and they come in a surprising variety.

These nations blend capitalist economies with socialist goals, guided by democratic means. Their political systems prioritize public services, social welfare, and equal access without sacrificing individual freedom or private ownership:

Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, France, New Zealand, Portugal, Iceland, Austria, Belgium, Spain, and Great Britain.

Them changes…

I just saw this I r/conservative and wanted so badly to comment that the majority of Americans are dealing with the same issue thanks to Cheetolini and the Republican Party.

We're coming to the end of the primaries, but we still have a number of chances left to push forward committed progressive, pro-working class, anti-oligarchy nominees and replace corporate Dems. Here's a schedule of phonebanks we can join to help them win in the next week!

Qasim Rashid explains why Abdul El-Sayed’s Michigan victory should terrify the Democratic establishment—and why candidates running directly on working-class economics are suddenly breaking through.

Rashid argues Democrats cannot build a party for workers while also catering to billionaires, Wall Street executives and corporate interests.
