The outstanding swing states are grappling with record numbers of mail-in and advance ballots cast, with several still working to tally those votes because of logistical challenges like in Georgia where a burst pipe forced a pause to counting late Tuesday night. As well, the key swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania could not legally begin counting those early ballots until Election Day, so that work continues

Black progressive Cori Bush is officially going to Congress

Bush defeated a 10-term Democratic incumbent in a primary earlier this year.

Cori Bush, a rising progressive star in the Democratic Party, handily won a first term in the US House of Representatives on Election Day.

The Black progressive previously defeated a 10-term incumbent Democrat, Rep. William Lacy Clay Jr., in this year’s primary for Missouri’s First District, which covers the Democratic stronghold of St. Louis. Insofar as Bush won an election as a Democrat in St. Louis, that’s not too surprising. But as Aaron Ross Coleman wrote for Vox at the time, Bush’s victory in the primary was a surprising upset — one spurred by her strong support for the Black Lives Matter movement:

Bush, a 44-year-old single mother, nurse, and leader in the 2014 Ferguson uprising, ousted 64-year-old, 10-term incumbent Clay in the St. Louis-area district. The bout was a rematch of the 2018 race, which Clay won by a 20-point margin. Both candidates are Black. However, Bush’s candidacy this time spoke to the moment, with her connections to a movement sweeping the nation following the killing of George Floyd and the sustained protests since the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, a city in the district.

Clay, on the other hand, was criticized by activists who claimed he hadn’t heavily participated in Black Lives Matter protests, and that he’d rejected calls to “defund the police.”

But, Coleman added, Bush made gains in other areas too — representing “an anti-corporate insurgency that has been brewing in the Democratic Party more broadly.” Clay could argue he’s a progressive given his support of Medicare-for-all and a Green New Deal, but he also took campaign donations from some controversial sources, including big banks.

Bush’s victory falls within the broader context of Black progressives winning big races in the House. As Ella Nilsen wrote for Vox:

A new group of Black progressives has officially been elected to Congress.

It’s been a year defined in part by nationwide protests against police brutality and systemic racism after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Meanwhile, unabashedly progressive Black candidates ran in — and won — races around the country. It’s another step toward meaningful representation for Black and brown constituents.

“We need more people in Congress for whom policy is personal. I was the only candidate talking about racial justice before the events of the past several weeks,” presumptive member of Congress Mondaire Jones (D-NY) told Vox this summer. “I’m grateful more people now are seeing it.”

This kind of broad representation matters. Bush, as a single member of the House, may not be able to do much on her own. But with these crucial progressive allies backing her in the legislature, perhaps her vision for America will have a better chance of being reflected in bills next year.

We are all one

Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles

I love love. I love everything about it. Just saying the word fills my heart with comfy warmth and happiness. I love life, I love people and just every living thing that exists. (I say living thing because everything has life, yes, even my stuffed little teddy bear).

I didn’t always have so much love in my heart. There were times when I spewed hate and said hurtful things to people. There have also been times when I wasn’t a very nice person. But as I am waking up each day, I can’t help but realise that we are all one.

If aliens were to invade our Earth one day, I wonder what we would do. If we think about it, I suppose countries who are now having feuds would start to support each other, people who hate each other now would start to love each other, we would almost be compelled to do so. Why? Because we are humans and they are aliens. Because at the end of the day, we are all fragmented energy from the same source. Because…

At this early stage of the pandemic, there is evidence that remdesivir can be safely administered for hospitalized Covid‐19 patients. It improves the recovery rate in both moderate and severe patients but, the optimal effect is achieved for those who are severely affected but not mechanically ventilated.

L’ORO non è altro che polvere scintillante nel fango, ma i bianchi possono uccidere per questo!

Mineral smoke increases wherever whites settle. In the past they lived far away in their cities. Now they have brought us closer and we are fewer and fewer because their epidemic fumes surround us. Our xapiri spirits try tirelessly to drive them out of the forest, but they keep coming back. For us shamans, it is a great torment not to be able to reject this smoke of xawara. If we all die, no one will be able to compensate for the value of our deaths. … The money and goods of the whites will not bring them back to us! And the devastated forest can never be restored, it will be lost forever. “

Come dice il portavoce degli Yanomami Davi Kopenawa nel suo libro “La caduta del cielo”: “I bianchi diffondono i loro fumi epidemici in tutta la foresta … strappando oro e altri minerali dal terreno. Non vogliono rinunciare alla loro frenesia di scavo e il loro pensiero rimane chiuso. A loro interessa solo cucinare questo metallo per fare merce. L’oro non è altro che polvere scintillante nel fango, ma i bianchi possono uccidere per questo!

Non è l’oro o la merce che fa crescere le piante o nutre e ingrassa la selvaggina che cacciamo! Tutta la merce dei bianchi non sarà mai sufficiente per essere scambiata con alberi, frutti, animali e pesci della foresta. Le bucce di carta dei tuoi soldi non saranno mai abbastanza numerose da compensare il valore dei nostri alberi bruciati, del terreno arido e dell’acqua sporca. Tutto ciò che…
