I hope for the best for James to beat MAGA, and this is very kind of people to say. However, I have zero interest in working on campaigns. I love being fully independent. I only worked on Jasmine's because she is a friend, and I care greatly about her. This was a very emotional job for me.
Bossman Don@bossman-don.bsky.social · 7mo agoTalarico needs to listen to what @bookersquared.bsky.social was saying on your show. He might want to get her on his team if he really wants to win
I'm really concerned about what this voter suppression will do to voters in Dallas County. Paxton really created a huge obstacle for Texas Dems to overcome. It's hard to motivate people when the powers that be believe their vote won't count, even when they show up and wait for hours.
Not a final order, but it is interesting that Paxton only sued over Dallas County and not El Paso.
ATTN EL PASO COUNTY: A judge orders polls to stay open until 8 pm. If you are in line by 8 pm, you can vote!
Jasmine Crockett speaks about the voter suppression tactics being used today. A judge extended Dallas County voting to 9 pm today in an emergency order. If you are in line at your correct polling location by 9 pm, you can vote!
ATTN DALLAS COUNTY! A judge orders that polls are open until 9 pm tonight. If you are in line by 9 pm, you will be able to vote. But please check to see where your correct polling location is. You MUST go to the correct location. experience.arcgis.com/experience/0...
@andybeshearky.bsky.social and I have different ways of talking to folks, but both are effective.
On my way to a meeting in the Senate office buildings, I decided to pop in and ask about ol' Mitch.
@bookersquared.bsky.social went to Capitol Hill to ask members of Congress: why don’t they fix the health care affordability crisis? Here's what they had to say. #justfixit

Say what you want about Facebook, but the boomers over there are just as with the shit lol
This is true, and it hit Black political creators sooner. I got demonetized on TikTok back in 2023, and my views were suppressed (still are). I deleted TT in January w/ the talk of platform sales. I began focusing on growing on other platforms in 2022 and working hard to get sponsorships bc of this.
Parkrose Permaculture@parkroseperma.bsky.social · 11mo agoIn case you're wondering what it's like to be a creator who doesn't take dark $$ and isn't a mouthpiece for the establishment.
Seriously, what is with the white people in my replies today?
Is...is she okay? Y'all, this is the wildest back and forth I've had on here. Does Bluesky have a bot issue?
Okay, I'll tell you my troubles. Despite you being queer, you are still a white woman. And rather than gathering your community and figuring out why the majority keeps voting GOP, you are camped out in my replies even though I'm part of the 92% bc I dared support a young Dem running for Congress.
Yeah, these feral white people on this app are odd. Somebody come get their mayosister.
I've had the pleasure of working with Kat. She was a young Republican who grew up to be progressive. Her career has been nothing but calling out GOP BS. She spent the campaign calling out racist, sexist, and false rhetoric about Harris, including in her Mother Jones series. She's the real deal.
greg@mistergeezy.bsky.social · 2y agoBitch, is this you?
When I got into political commentary, folks said that I would never grow my platform if I kept cussing. I rejected that respectability politics bullshit then, and I'm glad that I did. They were busy looking for Rachel Maddow when I was bringing Richard Pryor.
If I made a left-wing political subreddit, would you guys want to join?
The irony of the "Department of Efficiency" is that it's completely inefficient. A friend just told me they're making employees dig through the trash to find usable equipment for RTO. Nothing says "we value your time" like forcing you to dumpster dive for a functioning keyboard!
This was the state of the computer supply rooms. Workers had to physically scavenge to get a functioning set up.
