the voter suppression is real in MS
Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · 23h agoYoung Black women in rural Mississippi are trying like hell to make sure no ballot gets thrown out unfairly in the Scott Colom Senate race. They are DMing friends and chasing down people who need to verify their IDs. Story by @newsbysamuels.bsky.social.

How a Mississippi election came down to the clerk’s office
A group of young Black women helped Democrat Scott Colom do the unthinkable, potentially flipping a deep-red Senate seat.

El-Sayed on Trump & Miller: "He decides to hire the most broken man to continue to run the most dysfunctional WH we've seen. I don't know what Stephen Miller has actually contributed to our culture, our society, in any real way, except to make us more angry & stoke the worst kind of fear & vitriol"
TEXAS — Amazing… folks partied 🎉 outside Elon Musk’s house after Republicans got shellacked despite him dumping half a billion in The cybertruck piñata is 🔥 😂 (From @statesman.com )
spotted outside the kennedy center in washington as the big blue wave election results came in this week...
Good news to start the day, Democrats in Arizona won both state House and Senate as well as retained the Governor’s seat which has earned them their first Trifecta in Arizona in 60 years. This blue Tasunami gets better and better. 💙☀️

Mister Midnight@mstrmidnight.bsky.social · 3d agoFrom a colleague of mine: New Apple update - The recent Apple IOS 27 update automatically enables “Live Listening” on Apple devices. This means that **all the iPhones and iPads** with this update, both **personal and operational**, are by default listening in on all conversations around them,
PSA: You don’t get to refuse to support Zohran and actively oppose Abdul and take money from AIPAC and oppose Medicare for All and be chicken shit about abolishing ICE… then turn around and act shocked that people don’t see you as leadership material. @SenSchumer @RepJeffries
Yes, let him reject everything to show his douchebaggery. We'll watch him finish off the GOP.
Don’t ever let anyone tell you that your vote doesn’t matter. In a state where a million people will cast a vote before it’s over, this race is likely to be decided by less than 2,000 votes.
A tumor lives off of your oxygen, nutrients, and blood supply. So do Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Time to extricate.
Chuck Schumer has never been able to get Republicans to cooperate with the Democrats. He has allowed us to be bullied for years, and was inexplicably cooperative with Republican goals. We now need a strong leader who will crush the Republican senators and put them in their place.
i just called BOTH my state senators because voting is not our only way to exercise our political power
Ben McKenzie@benmckenzie.bsky.social · 4d agoIf you can’t see that re-electing Chuck Schumer as majority leader is the functional equivalent of backing Joe Biden’s re-election bid, I don’t know what to tell you. People voted for change. Give it to them.
Scott Colom is a very fine lawyer whose appointment as a federal judge was blocked by Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. So he stands against her in the senate elections. This is the spirit.
Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · 5d ago🚨 BREAKING: DEMOCRAT SCOTT COLOM NOW LEADS BY 1,883 VOTES IN MISSISSIPPI! 🔵 Scott Colom: 466,420 (49.05%) 🔴 Cindy Hyde-Smith: 464,537 (48.85%) With over 95% reporting, Colom has pulled ahead of the Republican incumbent in the U.S. Senate race. MISSISSIPPI REALLY COULD FLIP BLUE! 🔥
All this talk of "getting even" or payback or whatever. It's not "getting even". It's enforcing the law. Say that. Correct that. Don't fall into that trap. There's absolutely no reason to.
If you’re wondering why we didn’t see this result in 2024, it’s because most voters aren’t motivated by anything other than how they’re affected. That’s why we see the same patterns every cycle. I hope we can break that cycle.
three things that should be extremely clear after last night - people hate the tech overlords and you need to go after them - theres no reason to be scared of their money - there is no downside in bringing them to heel
