@castlepointanime was just a few weeks ago, but I still had a wonderful time! With back to back trips, I haven't had much time to edit photos, but I promise to have them done ASAP!

‘It’s Just Agony’: A Family Mourns Nearly 200 Gaza Relatives
Adam and Ola Abo Sheriah absorb a loss few of their friends and neighbors in #NewJersey can imagine, and scramble to help surviving family members in #Gaza while trying to get their kids to school on time.
3rd Circuit rules in favor of U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Andy Kim and keeps New Jersey's "county line" ballot design blocked for the Democratic primary. The blocked design puts candidates endorsed by county party leadership in a preferred column.
Andy Kim's leadership is rooted in authenticity -- a Democrat re-elected in a Trump-won district who is celebrated for his commitment to serving the people. As he continues his historic Senate campaign, Rep. Kim is counting on grassroots support to win in communities across New Jersey. If you can, pitch in to support the organizing work to elect Andy Kim and end the filibuster! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/gallego-indivisible-split?refcode=mastodon20240312directpost&source=mastodon
Voting for Kim in the #NewJersey primaries in June, and then in the General Election in November. He’ll make an awesome Senator.
Philly’s Third Circuit delivering a well-deserved bitch-slap to the Camden County Democratic Committee next week. The CCDC is the lone entity left in the appeal of the #CountyLine lawsuit decision. #AbolishTheLine
"#NewJersey’s controversial ballot design that gives party-backed candidates an advantage will be scrapped in the June primary, a federal judge ruled on Friday.
U.S. District Judge Zahid Quraishi granted the preliminary injunction sought by Rep. Andy Kim and two Congressional candidates to eliminate the so-called county line, a feature unique to New Jersey elections that’s given local party bosses inordinate influence over elections." https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/29/new-jersey-ballot-judge-senate-andy-kim-00149763
@mattblaze After that chickenshit outfit Orsted bailed last year, #OffshoreWind is moving forward again in #NewJersey. The newest of the leases will be 40 miles out, so no one can bitch about their view 🙄. Personally, I love looking at the turbines — their motion is beautiful. #renewables
“#NewJersey Democratic Sen. Bob #Menendez was indicted Tuesday on a dozen new criminal charges related to a years-long bribery scheme involving the governments of Egypt and Qatar.”
“Rep Andy Kim, Dem running for #Senate in #NewJersey against the state’s first lady, filed fed lawsuit that seeks to redesign the ballot before June’s contentious primary election, arguing the current layout unfairly benefits candidates supported by party leaders.
The complaint aims to topple NJ’s longstanding ballot-design process, which is unique to the state, by asserting it violates the constitution and permits voters to be “cynically manipulated.”
“Representative Andy Kim, a third-term Democratic congressman, won an early but significant victory on Saturday against #NewJersey’s first lady, Tammy Murphy, as they compete in one of the country’s most closely watched #Senate primaries.”
I tell people my early childhood was spent in the town where the TV show "Down Tha Shore" was filmed (Manasqaun), and later childhood was spent in the town where Tony Soprano's therapist lived (Montclair).
Trump tells Iowa there’s $8 a gallon gas. Abbott claims gas prices are higher. But they’re the lowest they’ve been in years. They’re lying because it’s all they have.
@georgetakei Unmitigated BS. I just asked the hub how much he pays for gas these days — I have a Chevy Bolt #EV and charge my car our garage 😈 — and he said $3.80. For context, we live in #NewJersey.
@dankennedy_nu#NewJersey’s Civic Information Consortium rates a mention in this article! I follow their work (I’m a NJ resident) and they have been awarding funds to #localjournalism outlets and laboratories for 2-3 years now. Simply vital work.
9 Times the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Miscalculated Badly at the Expense of #Taxpayers, #Wildlife
The agency has a history of diving into big #construction projects that exceed projected costs, fall short on projected benefits and, in some cases, create new problems that #engineers hadn’t bargained for.
