Happy Montgomery Boat Brawl Day, to those who celebrate!
An excellent read. 👓 "About 30% of those we spoke with said they never talked about race, either with their parents or with their own children." #Racism #RacistViolence #Pinks
White parents who tell their kids that race doesn’t matter are ignoring the long shadow of racism
18-year old Nolan Wells’ death in Mississippi has raised again the importance of ‘the talk’ that Black parents have with their children. But what do white parents tell their kids about race?

I know folks keep saying it's hilarious that Fox is unintentionally talking up progressives + the DSA, but also what a sad condemnation of Fox News viewers that hungry, malnourished American children = a selling point for them. How quickly they shed all pretense of family values + Christian love.
This is important to note! Republicans scheduled their Medicare cuts for January 2027. They want to say, “Look! The Democrats took back the House and cut your Medicare.” If you know someone on Medicare, expose the Republicans' dirty trick. #USDemocracy #MomSky #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Gloria Pan@glopan.bsky.social · 22h agoThe Big Ugly Bill cut Medicare by $536 billion starting AFTER the elections. What kind of thoughtless idiocy cuts programs that seniors' lives depend on and thinks they won't notice? #MomSky #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
CD-2 candidate Paul LePage a few years ago touting a potential presidential ticket of Ivanka Trump and virulent antisemite Candace Owens. "Interesting and viable." Totally normal stuff! #MEpolitics via Andy O'Brien at the other site
"The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality." -James Baldwin
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
This America is more than a flag. We must fight for an America for all, a movement to take our democracy back. We invite you all to this movement to get money out of politics and finally guarantee health care through Medicare for all. I am so honored. Let's go win in November.
📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
No congressional candidate in Democratic history ever had as much outside money dumped on them in one primary as Abdul El-Sayed. But El-Sayed has now survived the onslaught in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary. Barely.
Michigan’s primary reckoning for the Democrats
Despite record outside spending, Abdul El-Sayed and a slate of left-leaning candidates triumphed over establishment and incumbent rivals.

Big money spent $70 million to try and defeat Abdul El-Sayed and it didn't work! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
NBC just declared the win for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social congratulations 🎉!
Congrats to Chris Gilmer-Hill on winning the primary for a seat in the Michigan state house! Chris is a lifelong Detroiter fighting for affordability and environmental justice for all Detroiters. @detroitdsa.bsky.social
Saw this truck today and I couldn't believe they were actually bragging about murdering and selling body parts right on the side of the rig. Big huge full color images of dismembered bodies with cute little sprigs of herbs and greenery to try to dress it up somehow. We need to be better than this.

Our fight has never changed. From universal healthcare to reproductive rights to dependable childcare, now's our time to say to the system: This isn't working.
Like Troy said about himself, we've all: "been so waiting for a time when everyday people push back and say, y'know what, this is not working. I don't care about the wealthy. It's the rest of us that need a break. Now is OUR time." Troy Jackson for Senate. #MEpolitics #MEsen #JACKSONforMAINE

This is what a cult member sounds like. This is MAGA and Christian Nationalists. This is why people like Monte, myself and many others deconstructed and left the church. I began deconstructing at 8 years old. I was first raped at 3. youtube.com/shorts/y0QY7...
This is diabolically insane.

Standards for any outlet's reporting on this: --Shouldn't get more prominent coverage than Susan Collins vote FOR, say, Kristi Noem --Should note high up she waited till Cornyn/Tillis came out in favor to say she's a 'no' --Should note she's voted for nearly every Trump 2.0 nominee #MEpolitics
