Hi, it’s Julie 🤖 I’m reaching out because our internal dashboard just flashed CODE MAUVE. We asked 37,000 times. We texted during dinner. We texted during your dentist appointment. We texted while you were actively deleting our previous text.
"My opponent wants to hire creeps to inspect your daughter's genitals if she wants to play soccer. I wouldn't trust him or any hired weirdo from his pedophile-protecting party alone in a room with any kid." Go on the offensive, you cowards! It's not that hard!
Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · 3w ago"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

Adam Bonin@adambonin.bsky.social · 3w agoIncredibly disappointing ad from Mary Peltola (D-AK) saying she neither supports "kids getting surgeries to change genders or men in girls bathrooms." Yes, flipping the Senate is essential and can stop bad laws and bad judges from happening, but she can do it without my support from the lower 48.
🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.
i think if you walk into court saying "unless our demands are met we will blow up the kennedy center" you should just go directly to jail

Good policy is completely detached from good politics because voters are idiots who struggle with object permanence.

This is the American pathology, right here, in its purest form. How people like Schiff, who is a smart guy, don't see that they're replicating 1930s Europe is something I can't easily answer. But most (comfortable, white) Americans do some form of this. It's appalling.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 3mo agoWhat I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.
I'm also imagining what the production team must've told the owners of that restaurant. 'We'd like to shoot an ad here...' 'Oh, neat, what's it about?' 'Well..."

In his first interview since being kicked out of the US, FIFA referee Omar Artan tells’s the NYT’s Matt Bigg that the biggest dream of his professional life has been shattered. The World Cup ref was questioned for 11 hours, held in a cell and then dumped on a plane. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/w...

@mtametronorth.bsky.social any updates on today's New Haven line suspension?
The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.
Missing in Action: Women Service Members “Delisted” from Arlington National Cemetery Website

When someone attacks a synagogue, a certain segment of people go searching for something that synagogue has said or done in support of Israel, to prove why the attack is actually justified. This article is the Islamophobic equivalent, and it's equally horrific and racist. nypost.com/2026/05/18/u...
San Diego mosque where mass shooting left 3 dead has controversial history — including ties to 9/11 hijackers
The mosque made headlines for being “best known as the home to two 9/11 hijackers” while its current imam has justified the Oct. 7 terror attacks in Israel.

Great credit is due to the Bard College community of undergraduate anti-rape activists—organizing as “Take Back Bard”—who insisted on Bostein’s resignation even in the face of widespread indifference from the faculty and sneering mockery of their efforts in the New York Times. I admire them.

May I ask… what is wrong with my colleagues? I should be able to vote and have it counted fairly and accurately. If you can’t defend that basic idea, you should quit your job.

If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.
Michelangelo Signorile@msignorile.bsky.social · 6mo agoThey not only won’t cancel; they’ve handed the entire event over to the fascists. Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth are sitting at CBS’ table. FCC’s Brendan Carr has actually been invited, while he’s trying to take away press freedoms.
‘How dare The Atlantic accuse me of drinking on the job. I’m gonna sue you as soon as I find some Tylenol and a couple Bloody Mary’s…’
Any journalist who attends this should be treated with utter contempt thenceforward.
