[quote]Voto Latino has had enough of Democratic Sen. Kyrsten
Sinema and is pledging to spend “six figures” to get rid of her
when she’s up for re-election in 2024.
The national grassroots political group is just the latest to
pile up against Sinema, who has been formally censured by the
Arizona Democratic Party’s executive committee over her support
of the filibuster.
...
Voto Latino, just like the influential EMILY’s List and others
who recently came out against Sinema, isn’t bluffing.
It has set up the adiossinema.org website to raise money and
remind Arizonans that the first-term senator has blocked
everything from voting rights to increasing the minimum hourly
wage to $15 to pandemic relief for undocumented immigrants.
Sinema, who’s basking in Republican approval after she opposed
changing the U.S. Senate filibuster rule, has clearly bet her
future on her formidable ability to attract big donors in
Arizona and elsewhere.
But she’ll need Democratic voters to get out of the primary – if
she wants to stay in the U.S. Senate where its current 50-50
split gives her outsized power to shape or kill President
Biden’s agenda.
...
Yes, Sinema has the money to spread her message should she
choose to seek re-election. But a 55,900-vote advantage isn’t
unsurmountable.
That means Latino voters alone can stop her in her
tracks.[/quote]

[quote]in this rising left movement, people of South Asian
descent appear to be playing an outsized role both as
intellectual vanguard and grassroots activists. Young South
Asian Americans born in this country and even some who were
naturalized are becoming a force to reckon with. Rife with
idealism, nurturing dreams of creating a better world, they are
willing to make sacrifices to realize their vision.[/quote]

Update:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/national-popular-vote-closer-think-130029298.html
[quote]States are passing legislation or initiatives awarding
their electors to the winner of the national popular vote. Once
the number of states in the compact reaches 270 electoral votes,
presidential elections will transition from the current method —
48 states use what is called the winner-take-all method of
awarding electors while Maine and Nebraska award electors by
congressional district — to a national popular vote.
How close is this to becoming a reality? Closer than you
probably think.
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has been adopted by
16 states and the District of Columbia, totaling 195 electoral
votes. Most recently, Colorado joined the compact and an
initiative petition was launched in Michigan. The compact is a
binding, actionable and realistic reform that utilizes the
constitutional power of state legislators to select a method for
awarding electors without abolishing the Electoral College.
The pathway from 195 to 270 is not impossible to see. The
compact has passed in at least one house of state legislatures
in eight additional states, accounting for more than 70
electoral votes. It is only a matter of time before those states
also join the compact.[/quote]

[quote]Guerrero: Can California Latinos save Democrats in the
midterm elections? A new congressional map offers hope
With new congressional maps based on the 2020 census, the number
of Latino-majority districts in California has grown to 16 from
10. The six new majority-Latino districts could help Democrats
retain control of the House. But it might require more from
Democrats than they’re willing to give.
Although the state lost a congressional seat because of slower
population growth, the independent redistricting commission’s
maps approved last month give Latinos more power in line with
their still-rising numbers. The 16 majority-Latino districts
make up nearly a third of the state’s now 52 congressional
seats. The question is whether Democrats can take advantage of
those new districts to reduce the Republican-held seats in the
California delegation from the current 10.
...
Republicans can win these districts with low Latino turnout. A
long tradition of Latino exclusion in the Central Valley, which
persists today at the local level, aggravates distrust in
politics. That distrust is not "conducive to participation,”
Jesus Martinez, executive director of the Central Valley
Immigrant Integration Collaborative, told me.
If Democrats want to tap the power of these Latino-majority
districts, they must invest in in-person, door-to-door outreach
to these communities, which unevenly benefited from stimulus
checks, child tax credits and emergency rental assistance
provided by last year’s American Rescue Plan. The plan was
rejected by all the state’s Republican members of Congress.
It won’t be enough to remind Latinos of what Democrats have done
and how Republicans have fought against assistance. Given the
pandemic’s disproportionate toll on Latinos, many will want to
know how Democrats would prioritize their families’ economic
recovery as well as healthcare and education access.
Citizenship for long-time Latinos who lack legal immigration
status is also critical because it is inseparable from the
economic and health prospects of their mixed-status communities.
So far, Democrats have failed to deliver on that promise.
“Latinos are at the periphery of California politics even though
they’re central to the economy and to its future,” Sonja Diaz,
founder of UCLA’s Latino Policy & Politics Initiative, told me.
She said Democrats should seek Latino candidates who can speak
to the concerns of Latino communities.
Many community leaders are optimistic about the long-term
consequences of redistricting. Along the southern border, there
will now be two congressional districts that are majority
Latino. One of the new districts combines the Imperial Valley
with parts of the Coachella Valley. The old map encompassed San
Diego with the Imperial Valley.
Daniela Flores, co-founder of the Imperial Valley Equity and
Justice Coalition, explained that the largely agricultural
concerns of the Imperial Valley will receive more consideration
now. “We have more political power,” she told me.
...
Whether these new districts will turn to Democrats may well
depend on Latinas driving the vote, in the same way they were
instrumental in defeating the recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“They’re the ones politicians would be wise to pay attention
to,” said Pablo Rodriguez, executive director of Communities for
a New California Education Fund, noting that Latinas are
higher-propensity voters than Latinos.[/quote]

The one upside to the Ukrainian surge: it will offset at least
some non-white immigration. Many Ukrainians could be
conservatives—many even religious conservatives—who won’t be
automatic Democrat voters.
Don’t think the Democrats don’t know that.
Bottom line: Elected Republicans better be ready to oppose any
effort to use an influx of Ukrainians to mask a massive increase
of immigration from the Third World.[/quote]

Emerge, a national program that supports and trains Democratic

Emerge teamed with Sykes to develop "Seated Together.'' The next
cohort is planned for the fall.

The national group Vote Mama doesn’t have a formal training
program, but endorses, mentors and funds Democratic mothers who
have children under 18 years old.

“This work needs to happen for Black women, for Latinas, for
Asian women, for Native women. Those voices need to be at the
table," said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American
Women and Politics. "It takes intentionality for this kind of
change to happen.’’[/quote]
Glad to see Jewish women not included. Remember: anyone who
includes Jews in any supposed POC list is automatically our

Demographic Blueshift playing its part in ending Blue Sinophobia
(eventually leaving it a Red-only attitude, as has been our aim
all along):

[quote]Asian Americans call out Rep. Tim Ryan for airing ad
that's 'rife with Sinophobia'
Asian American organizers and officials are criticizing Rep. Tim
Ryan, D-Ohio, over a campaign ad they say inflames Sinophobia
and anti-Asian hate.
Ryan, who is running for Senate, released the spot Tuesday. In
it, he claims that “Communist China” is to blame for the loss of
American jobs.
“China’s winning. Workers are losing,” Ryan says in the ad.
“It’s us vs. them. Capitalism vs. communism. I’m not backing
down. Are you?”
Ryan’s House colleague, Rep. Grace Meng, called on Ryan to take
down the ad, saying it is “essentially shifting blame away from
American corporations’ anti-worker policies and putting a target
on the backs of #AAPIs.” And other organizations, such as the
youth civic engagement group Run AAPI and the super PAC AAPI
Victory Fund, condemned the ad, saying it could further harm a
community that has already endured heightened racism during the
pandemic.
...
Linh Nguyen, senior adviser for Run AAPI, noted that similar
language and vitriol around Japanese auto manufacturers in the
1980s is what led to the killing of Vincent Chin, a Chinese
American who was beaten to death by two white autoworkers who
had mistaken him for being Japanese.
...
Nguyen said that in districts across the country, Asian
Americans have proven themselves to be the margin of victory. In
Georgia’s 7th Congressional District, Asian Americans helped
swing the traditionally Republican area to the
Democrats.[/quote]

this little gem from France, the Ukrainian migrants find the
mathematics tests in France too easy. Just wait until these

Mayor Wu attended the Boston Saint Patrick’s Day Breakfast, a
popular political tradition during which there is enormous
pressure to be funny. During her remarks, Wu described her first
four months in office this way:
Trial by snow. Trial by firefighter’s union. I’m getting
used to dealing with problems that are expensive, disruptive,
and white—I’m talking about snowflakes, snowstorms, snowflakes
[Boston Mayor Michelle Wu Blasted For ‘White’ Jokes At St.
Patrick’s Day Breakfast, by Tim Meads, Daily Wire, March 21,
2022]
The joke dropped like a lead balloon because everyone knew that
Wu wasn’t joking. She really does despise white people, which
explains why she has been openly targeting the white restaurant
owners in the historic North End who bucked her vaccine passport

Hall, by Drew Karedes, Boston 25 News, March 29, 2022].

The reality is that Asian voters consistently support Left-wing
candidates in large numbers, and there is no reason to expect
that to change anytime soon[Asian Americans voted for Biden 63%
to 31%, but the reality is more complex, by Kimmy Yam, NBC,
November 9, 2020]. (The reality isn’t more complex: Steve Sailer
wrote Asian "Natural Republicans" Vote 75% Democratic—Any More
Bright Ideas? in 2005.)[/quote]
