This (in PA) is one of the most interesting cases I’ve been following. I visited Reading—the kind of voters that most everyone ignores. No resources, few votes, and then everyone says don’t bother. Self-fulfilling prophecy. Will the post-2016 grassroots surge break the cycle?https://twitter.com/jessforcongress/status/947482344738435078 …

(That campaign is part of the “Great Slate” that
@TechSolidarity has been raising money for—districts with progressive candidates that are largely underfunded and ignored even though potentially winnable by Dems: https://twitter.com/pinboard/status/947458427000782848 … )zeynep tufekci added,
Pinboard @PinboardThe Great Slate update this morning: $624K, with just hours left before the FEC filing period tonight. Support from tech workers has been incredible, with half a million raised in the past two weeks.

David SimonVerified account @AoDespairDear Diane, I am abjectly sorry for letting Kenard kill Omar Little. It made a lot of sense narratively at the time, but now I see that Omar should have survived, reformed and become the Democratic congressman from the 3rd House District. I am asking HBO for a do-over. Thx. https://twitter.com/DianePatterson/status/947667982137749504 …3 replies 26 retweets 118 likesShow this thread -

David SimonVerified account @AoDespair4 hours left. See, the inert cadaver of the DNCC only rises from its crypt to fund fresh candidates if they show $100,000 in fundraising by the end of '17. Help pull a slate of fine candidates over. Receipt for any $1000 donation gets a personal apology from me for killing Omar. https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/947458427000782848 …1 reply 10 retweets 33 likesShow this thread -
