@abdulelsayed.bsky.social triumphing over something like $60 million, $32-ish million of it AIPAC money, is not a "narrow" victory, it's a people's earthquake. This kind of spending is oligarchy in action, to smother democracy through its formal channels, and is getting normalized. Still he won.

Care work is still work.

McMorrow at El-Sayed side for his press conference. I’m happy to see this.

Breaking: Democratic primary voters narrowly voted to oust Representative Shri Thanedar of Michigan on Tuesday, nominating democratic socialist Donavan McKinney for a deep-blue, Detroit-area district in the latest sign of the party’s hunger for new blood. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...

Shri Thanedar Is Ousted by a Democratic Socialist in a Michigan House Primary

Representative Shri Thanedar is among a wave of Democratic incumbents in Congress whom primary voters have sent packing in a surge of anti-incumbent fervor this cycle.

Ok. People are annoying me.

Yes!!!!

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

You ever think about how often Trump would talk about it if he were actually shot in the ear?

Mike Rogers is for Medicaid cuts that will close our hospitals, for total abortion bans and for ICE ripping our neighbors out of their homes. But at least he lives in Florida.

Is anyone going to a future Noah kahan concert that wouldn't mind getting me a shirt? Happy to pay for shipping. I'm just so sad my order got cancelled. It was my first Noah show and probably my favorite concert ever

Ever since I was a little kid, I loved Election nights. The maps in different colors. My parents lightly arguing over who to support. And as an adult, I went to a movie theater in 2016 and watched CNN on the big screen and ate popcorn until John King said “Wayne County is too close to call” 🫠

These are insane numbers. If El-Sayed wins after being outspent by this much, wow, watch out!

Mcmorrow coming up on CNN soon. I think. I’m not even sure how I feel about her now honestly.

I really wanted the pokopia dlc to be available at 8pm just so I could not obsess over election returns. Who the heck is voting for Johnson? I’m on the other side of the ticket but that was the most racist campaign I can remember. And Cox at 11%?

I won a giveaway from Emagine Theaters! The prize is a movie poster from Hadestown that is signed by the director and the five original cast members!!! Reeve Carney, André De Shields, Amber Gray, Eva Noblezada, Patrick Page, and Rachel Chavin.

Ok. I need to get seriously busy so I can enjoy the Pokopia Bubble Basin update while watching the Michigan Election Day coverage tonight. Dishes. Laundry. Deep cleaning washing machine (😢 I hate it) and chopping veggies for snacks.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Tomorrow, Michigan Democrats decide whether to elect Medicare for All champion Abdul El-Sayed. Gretchen Whitmer is backing his opponent after Blue Cross donors poured record sums into her campaigns. Her father was the company’s longtime CEO.

House of the Dragon is so so good! I never read the book, but have an idea of the ending. And still surprised. Can’t believe that next Sunday is the season finale already. My hubs hasn’t watched one episode this season so I havent spoiled anything for him. But he only gets a little grace period.

Yay! Errands finished. New phone set up. Picked up the RSD Essential vinyl pressing (lava red) of Recovering the Satellites. Now I watch the House of the Dragon marathon and play Pokopia.

Every. single. woman. has played nice and attempted to placate an angry man they are forced to interact with in personal or work life. Hell, when a creep at work commented on my appearance recently, I just said "thank you." I didn't welcome the comments, but I didn't know what else to do right then.

Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."

Spiderman: Brand New Day is so good. Just enjoyable from start to finish.

She knows she’s losing so she said let’s just go mask off.

State Farm is changing the due date of our three cars insurance policies into one due date. And I know it’s still the same amount of money, but when that bill comes I’m going to lose my mind. Also no word on the refund checks yet.

JUST NOW — Schumer Interrupted: “What could be more corrupt than backing genocide? How dare you talk about corruption. It’s amazing you can show your genocidal face in public!”
