Swing Left Hi Charles, We’re officially 30 days out from Election Day. The midterm elections will have a generational impact on the balance of power, and the work we do over the next four weeks will affect control of Congress and many state-level races. Across the country, volunteers will be on the ground every day from now til November 3rd, having listening-based persuasion conversations with voters through Ground Truth, Swing Left’s innovative voter contact program. Volunteers will spend time sharing with voters why it’s important to vote in this crucial election. Our goal is to have hundreds of thousands of substantive conversations with voters in key swing districts before polls close on November 3rd. So far, Swing Left volunteers and organizers have logged tens of thousands of conversations across the country. But over the next few weeks, our field presence needs to multiply rapidly in every priority battleground on our map. In tight races decided by a few thousand votes, Swing Left volunteers at the doors and on the phones can make a difference in moving voters through authentic conversation. When Ground Truth canvassers knock on doors, we don’t just read a script. We ask questions and listen to what matters most to voters. By talking with people in the communities that will decide this election, we gather real-time ground insights that help Democratic campaigns respond more to voters' needs and be smarter about their messaging, targeting, and outreach. Campaigns like Democratic Rep. Greg Landsman’s in OH-01, where he spent time this week following up with voters who had Ground Truth conversations with volunteers. With less than 30 days remaining, the conversations we’re having at voters' doorsteps are consequential to winning the House, the Senate, and key state races. However, scaling up our field operations to reach hundreds of thousands of voters requires continuous, hands-on support. From organizing materials to field staff and volunteer transportation, running a get-out-the-vote program of this scale takes a lot of resources. Will you make a donation of any amount today to support the work volunteers are doing with Ground Truth through Election Day? Donate Now

NBA legend Charles Barkley has never been one to mince his words, regardless of whom he is addressing. <



Chuck proved that once again when he dropped a vicious take on US President Donald Trump, as the ex-NBA star blamed him for making it ‘popular to be racist.’

OLIGARCH , Peter Thiel : Thiel stated, "I would put the odds at roughly 50% that a democratic socialist wins the presidency in 2028." He argued that the Republican Party has always occupied the anti-establish-ment space in American politics. A takeover by Democratic Socialists would be catastrophic for the country, he said. He stressed that when 70% of millennials identify as pro-socialist, the political establishment needs to rethink how it responds. The billionaire <

China Joins Force With AES: Can Shape The Future Of AES and Sahel? <

Future Of AES and Sahel? CHINA JOINS FORCES WITH AES? WHO WILL REALLY SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THE SAHEL? What happens when the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) deepens its relationship with China while strengthening strategic cooperation with Russia? The future of the Sahel may be entering a completely new phase. In this deep dive, Afri Arise examines the growing relationship between China and AES, the expanding role of Russia, and the major geopolitical transformation taking place across Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.<


China's role in the Sahel goes beyond politics. Its growing involvement connects to infrastructure, oil, mining, uranium, energy, trade, investment, technology and industrial development. ( CB: proletarian internationalism) At the same time, Russia has become increasingly important to AES in security and military cooperation. But the biggest question is not simply whetherBut the biggest question is not simply whether China or Russia will gain more influence. WHO WILL HOLD THE PEN? Can AES use relationships with China, Russia and other global powers to strengthen its own strategic independence? Or could replacing one external dependency with another create a different kind of vulnerability? IN THIS VIDEO, WE EXPLORE: Why China is becoming increasingly important to AES and the Sahel China's role in infrastructure, mining, oil, energy and investment Niger's growing economic relationship with Chinese partners The strategic importance of uranium and natural resources in Niger Why Russia and AES are deepening security cooperation China's economic role versus Russia's security role Why Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger needChina's economic role versus Russia's security role Why Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger need roads, energy and trade corridors How infrastructure can transform the landlocked AES economies The AES push for resource sovereignty and value addition Why Africa must move from raw-resource extraction toward industrialization The importance of technology transfer, skills and local participation The role of the Confederal Bank for Investment and Development Whether China can help AES develop manufacturing and supply chains The danger of replacing one dependency with another Why Africa needs partners, not masters What Nigeria should understand about the changing Sahel What a more multipolar Africa could mean for the continent And whether AES can build enough internalDescription And whether AES can build enough internal strength to control its economic and strategic future. The Sahel is rich in gold, uranium and oil, while its geography makes infrastructure, logistics, energy and access to regional markets critically important. This makes the AES increasingly significant in the wider geopolitical competition surrounding Africa. But there is a deeper question: Can African countries turn foreign partnerships into genuine African industrial capacity? Can Chinese investment bring technology, training, infrastructure and local participation? Can Russian security cooperation strengthen AES without creating another dependency? Can natural resources be processed closer to home instead of simply being exported as raw materials? And can Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger build institutions strong enough to negotiate effectively Can Russian security cooperation strengthen AES without creating another dependency? Can natural resources be processed closer to home instead of simply being exported as raw materials? And can Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger build institutions strong enough to negotiate effectively with major global powers? These questions go far beyond AES. They are African questions. China has its interests. Russia has its interests. Europe has its interests. America has its interests. Africa must also have its own interests. The future may not be about choosing between China, Russia, Europe or America. It may be about African countries becoming strong enough to work with multiple partners while maintaining control over their own strategic priorities. Africa does not necessarily need one powerful friend. Africa needs the capacity to negotiate withfriend. Africa needs the capacity to negotiate with everyone. Watch the full video as we explore China and AES, Russia and AES, Niger's oil and uranium, Sahel infrastructure, resource sovereignty, African industrialization, multipolarity, and the future of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
