● Bernie Sanders isn't winning local elections for the left. Hear Sarah Jaffe out on this one:
“Bernie Wins Birmingham” is convenient shorthand for those who have no idea what actually goes on in Birmingham. But Bernie Sanders and the group his 2016 campaign inspired, Our Revolution, are not winning elections in places like Birmingham or Jackson, Mississippi, which in June elected a mayor who’s promised, “I’ll make Jackson the most radical city on the planet.” Activists in Birmingham and Jackson and Albuquerque and Long Island are winning them—left-wing activists who’ve toiled for years in the trenches, working with a new wave of organizers from Black Lives Matter and other insurgent groups, who bring social-media savvy and fired-up young voters into the mix.
Of course, it’s a great thing that groups like Our Revolution, which sprung out of Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign, are sending money and bringing some national attention to candidates like Woodfin. But the top-down narrative misses a lot about what is happening on the ground around the country.

● Unilateral disarmament is not a great plan.
On today’s Kagro in the Morning show, Newsweek lost its damn mind. Russia is into everything. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn & even Pokémon Go! I know, right? LinkedIn? Meanwhile, FB & Twitter “bleached their hard drives!” And an Instagram tuff guy gun star at the Vegas shooting… ran.
