    • NV Dems inquiry from Daniel Krouse
  • Comrade from Central Indiana here, want to talk to some people deeply involved in electoral work there about your engagement with the Democratic Party, the broader “progressives” and how they are engaging with the party, and just gossip leads about what the Dems are up to.  I have questions about the 2021 shenanigans and how things have evolved since then.  This is for an article in pitching so fairly low priority, mainly looking to get names and incidents to do more research into so I have my facts straight when I sit down to write
    • CSN protest
  • Hi, I’m Jacob Ipharr. I am a student at CSN and a member of the DSA chapter here in Vegas. I was hoping to ask you if there is any way to set up an event with the College of Southern Nevada, or try in some way to be involved with the College somehow? I had learned from someone who helps run the writing club I am a part of that ASCSN might allow Turning Point USA to apparently become an officially registered organization. Now, this might end up not happening, as, from my understanding, they haven’t made anything official yet, and the person who I got this information from has to make a statement about the situation on December 5th, but it seems to be what ASCSN is pushing for. If there is anything I can help try and set up a protest or any way to spread the word that this is going on, I would really appreciate it.
