Democrats are drowning in their own identity politics. Dem politicians are afraid that wrongthink will result in them being "canceled or primaried". Democrat donor advisors are telling the party to ditch their platform of identity politics, and to “begin with a complete rejection of race- and group-based identity politics".
Democrats are unsure, as their entire platform ceases to exist once identity politics are removed from the equation.

Democrats Wonder: Are We Too Correct?
The depth of the 2024 defeat brings tough questions about a base built around identity groups

the scale of Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat may double as a silver lining. By losing all seven battleground states, suffering their first popular vote loss in two decades and, most importantly, watching President-elect Donald Trump prevail with a working-class coalition that was once their own, Democrats have an opportunity to turn despair into action.

Unlike 2016, when they won the popular vote while losing by a sliver in the swing states, or 2020, when they rebounded and won both, Democrats now have a mandate for change. And not just on tactics or points of emphasis: the breadth of their defeat, and the number of voters who abandoned them, present the party an opening to rethink their orientation around affinity group politics.

The question is whether they’ll be emboldened or cower when one of “the groups,” as identity-based organizations are invariably called, speaks up.

But the reward is alluring. Whoever can retain the party’s traditional commitments to the most vulnerable and appeal to those voters who just rejected Harris will emerge as the Democrats’ strongest 2028 nominee and perhaps the next president.

Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club has been brimming in the last 48 hours with two kinds of people: those angling for a job in the president-elect’s incoming administration, and those trying to influence him into hiring their picks for the top spots.

But the one person who has loomed over it all and has exerted a great deal of influence is Elon Musk, according to multiple sources. The tech billionaire has been seen at the resort in Palm Beach, Florida, almost every day since Trump won the election last week, dining with him on the patio some evenings and hanging out with his family Sunday at the golf course.

Musk has been in the room when multiple world leaders have phoned Trump, and he’s weighed in on staffing decisions, with the SpaceX and Tesla CEO even making clear his preference for certain roles.

Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump arrives to speak at an election night watch party, on November 6, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Florida.

In one instance, Musk was with Trump at Mar-a-Lago when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called to congratulate the president-elect the day after the election, according to a source briefed on the call. Trump put the call on speaker, and Zelensky thanked Musk for his help providing communications to Ukraine through the billionaire’s Starlink internet service.

On Sunday, Musk waded into the GOP Senate leadership fight, endorsing Sen. Rick Scott after the Florida Republican swiftly backed Trump’s demand that anyone vying to be leader support recess appointments for his nominees — a way for presidents to attempt to bypass Congress that Senate Democrats could essentially block.

this doesn't even make any sense. state law says you need to show ID and FID to buy handgun ammo. AR-15s aren't handguns and their ammo is not handgun ammo
The AG is suing under the "Gun Industry Public Safety Act " saying selling ammo in accordance to state and federal laws is a "public nuisance"
this is why dems should never be voted for ever. this is literally the shit clinton and cuomo did in the 90s that got the PLCAA passed that even that commie fuck bernie sanders voted for
oh also

good thing I only own standard lethal AR-15 ammo and not "highly lethal" AR-15 ammo

Following Trump's electoral victory, Newsom called for California lawmakers to convene a special session to safeguard the state's progressive policies ahead of the Republican's second term in the White House.

On Thursday, Newsom's office said he wanted lawmakers to give the California attorney general's office more funding to "pursue robust affirmative litigation against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration, as well as defend against federal lawsuits aimed at undermining California's laws and policies."

Newsom and lawmakers are ready to "Trump-proof" California's state laws, his office told the Associated Press.

In a Friday post on Truth Social, the president-elect called the Democrat "Governor Gavin Newscum." He accused Newsom of "trying to KILL" California and "using the term 'Trump-Proof' as a way of stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to 'Make California Great Again.'"

Other governors and attorneys general from blue states are likewise preparing to counter Trump's proposals, including his plan to launch the biggest deportation program in the nation's history.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey said her state would "absolutely not" assist the Trump administration with mass deportations, while New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy spoke of fighting "to the death" against proposals that counter his state's values.

In New York, Governor Kathy Hochul has convened a task force to develop strategies to protect New Yorkers in key areas that "are most likely to face threats from the Trump administration," including immigration, reproductive rights and civil rights.

On late Sunday night, “Wanted” posters of University of Rochester leadership, faculty and employees were plastered across campus buildings on walls, floors, and chalkboards. The vandalism, tied to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has shocked many at the university.

The posters featured photos of those university community members along with text criticizing either their handling of the school’s response to the Oct. 7 attacks against Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza and Lebanon or their alleged ties to the Israeli war effort and settlement movement.

“I want to be as clear as I can that the University of Rochester strongly denounces the recent display of ‘Wanted’ posters targeting senior University leaders and members of our faculty, staff, and Board of Trustees,” UR president Sarah Mangelsdorf said in a statement late Tuesday afternoon. “This act is disturbing, divisive and intimidating and runs counter to our values as a university.

“Furthermore, several of those depicted appear to have been targeted because they are members of our Jewish community. We view this as antisemitism, which will not be tolerated at our University. This isn’t who we are. This goes against everything we stand for and we have an obligation to reject it.”

Mangelsdorf said UR’s Department of Public Safety is leading an ongoing investigation and “exhausting all available resources to collect evidence and hold those involved accountable for their actions.”

Several subjects of the posters are Jewish, prompting concerns of antisemitism from the university’s Hillel chapter. The university’s official statement made no mention of the incident’s ties to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
