Leah Greenberg ❌👑@leahgreenberg.bsky.social · 4h agoMichigan just proved something the political establishment doesn’t want to admit: When we organize, we WIN! Now, let’s make it happen again on Tuesday, August 11. Join @indivisible.org’s phonebank for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social on Monday and help us keep up the momentum.
Congratulations to @jocelynbenson.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, and all the candidates up and down the ticket who earned our party’s nomination here in Michigan. Now it’s time to come together and deliver the case that Democrats must make over the next 90 days, everywhere we go.
Just a note that @jbendery.bsky.social is 100% worth following. Always finds stories like these that matter, and yet are a bit under the radar.
Jen Bendery@jbendery.bsky.social · 3h agoFormer J6 federal prosecutors are begging senators -- mostly GOPers, but a handful of Dems are in there, too -- to stop confirming election deniers to lifetime federal courts seats. “Please stop poisoning our courts." www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...
The election EO appeal is about whether the fedl gov’t can change the rules of voting shortly before the midterms & whether SCOTUS will apply its own precedent consistently.

What Trump doesn’t (but should) understand about crime in Washington, D.C.
The president said he turned the nation’s capital “into Shangri-La.” It was an interesting choice of metaphor, since Shangri-La is totally made-up.

Call things what they are. The Civil War was the Slaveholder's Rebellion. January 6th was a violent, failed insurrection. Our current president and his enablers are fascist. Words matter. That's why the current authoritarians are trying to rewrite history. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/o...
