Let them redefine right wing. Frankly, it allows more of us to be labeled rightwing which allows us to coalesce more power to skull fuck them. The more they make everyone that disagrees with them to be enemies the more they create forces against them. This is a part of the ongoing strategy to make Democrats not about the working class but a party of elites. If that's what they want, they come and get it.

stosts attack on education continues:

Quote from: https://news.yahoo.com/san-francisco-voters-send-democrats-a-warning-on-schools-180841783.html

Three members of the San Francisco school board closely linked to a divisive equity agenda were expelled from office on Tuesday, in an election that had been closely watched for its national implications.

Although the recall process that led to their removal is an unusual feature of California politics, the results of the referendum are sure to reverberate at a time when education has emerged as a top voter concern.

“San Francisco today has shown us what it means to be progressive,” said Siva Raj, a San Francisco parent who had helped organize the recall, at an election night party that saw diverse segments of the city’s fractured political landscape come together in a shared discontent with educational policy.

Cheers erupted as results came in shortly before 9 p.m., with voters voting in near-identical 3-to-1 margins to recall board President Gabriela López (74.89 percent) and members Alison Collins (78.54 percent) and Faauuga Moliga (72.04 percent).

The three were accused of engaging in symbolic crusades while doing little to help students struggling with remote schooling and other pandemic-related challenges, such as social isolation. “Competence matters, even for progressives,” went the headline of a San Francisco Chronicle editorial in favor of the recall.

Moliga had sought to separate himself from Collins, who had come under fire for anti-Asian tweets, and López, who was widely derided for a New Yorker interview in which she failed to articulate why a school named after Abraham Lincoln needed to be renamed, but his effort did not succeed. Nor did a broader attempt to paint the recall as a Republican ploy to subvert and disrupt the city’s famously liberal consensus.

More from the stostfront:

Quote from: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/16/feinstein-plummets-harris-underwater-in-new-california-poll-00009427

Sen. Dianne Feinstein ’s approval ratings have plummeted to unprecedented lows as California voters turn against their senior senator, according to a new poll from the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies.

Voters disapproved of Feinstein’s job performance by an enormous 19-point margin. Her standing has steadily eroded, with her approval rating — now at just 30 percent — dropping 5 points since May. She does not command majority approval among Democrats, topping out at 45 percent, and she has lost the left, with Democrats who consider themselves “strongly liberal” more likely to disapprove by 5 points.

Vice President Kamala Harris also fared poorly in her home state. More voters disapproved of her job performance (46 percent) than approved (38 percent) — a sign of political peril for Harris, whose ascension was a point of pride in California.

Perhaps more controversially, the board moved to diversify the city’s elite Lowell High School by implementing a lottery instead of academic entrance exams. The move angered San Francisco’s large and politically active Chinese American community, which had long seen Lowell as a beacon of promise.
Posters in favor of the recall were plastered across Chinatown ahead of Tuesday’s vote. “They seem to have their eyes on the wrong thing — the wrong priorities,” community activist Bayard Fong told Yahoo News of the board members.

The board earned national mockery for an hours-long meeting in which it debated whether a gay father would add sufficient diversity to a parental advisory board.

End of an error:

Quote from: https://www.opb.org/article/2022/02/17/oregon-supreme-court-ruling-nick-kristof-oregon-residency-governors-race/

Nick Kristof, the former New York Times columnist who quit his job to run for Oregon governor, is officially out of the race.

In a 33-page opinion issued Thursday morning, the Oregon Supreme Court gave finality to a determination Secretary of State Shemia Fagan made in January: That Kristof cannot legally vie for the governorship, because he does not meet the state’s three-year residency requirement for the job.

“We recognize [Kristof] has longstanding ties to Oregon, that he owns substantial property and operates a farm here, and that the secretary did not question his current Oregon residency,” the opinion reads. “Moreover, he has thought deeply and written extensively about the challenges faced by those living in rural areas of Oregon — and the rest of the country. But that is not the issue here. The issue, instead, is whether [Kristof] has been, during the three years preceding the November 2022 election, ‘a resident within this State.’”

In light of the evidence, the court found, Fagan was within her rights to rule that Kristof was not.

Quote

In January, Oregon election officials ruled Kristof did not meet residency requirements established in the state’s constitution and therefore could not run to be governor. Oregon election officials ruled that to meet the three-year residency requirement for this year’s gubernatorial race, a person must be a resident in Oregon for the entire three-year period starting in November 2019.

Kristof has said that the term “resident” should be interpreted somewhat loosely. He and his lawyers argued for months that he grew up in Yamhill, still owns and maintains a farm there and has always considered Oregon his home. They added that the historical point of having a residency requirement in the Oregon constitution was to exclude those who were unfamiliar with the state, and that Fagan gave “no weight to forty years of published writings” in which Kristof claimed Yamhill was his home.

Fagan disagreed. In January, she said there was there was a mountain of “objective evidence” showing Kristof considered himself a New York resident until recently. That evidence included Kristof’s decision to vote in New York in 2020. Kristof also had a New York driver’s license that year.

Quote

Kristof has suggested, at times pointedly, that the attempts to force him out of the governor’s race have political motives. At the start of his political campaign, Kristof positioned himself as an outsider and said Fagan — a longtime politician with ties to the Democratic establishment — was basing her decision on “politics, not precedent.”

Ilhan Omar scolds journalists for promoting harassment of Canadian Freedom Convoy donors: 'Unconscionable'
The Democratic 'Squad' member says journalists 'need to do better'

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., slammed journalists whose reporting on the data breach of donors to the Canadian Freedom Convoy is leading to the harassment of private citizens.

Members of the media on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border have been sharing names and how much money they contributed to the truckers who've been protesting Canada's vaccine mandate, stemming from the recent hack of the crowdfunding website GiveSendGo.
