DSA, SMC caucus. WFSE 795 union steward and secretary.
They spent $60M+ in pro-Trump, pro-war money trying to buy Michigan's Senate seat. They lost. A movement for the people and by the people will always win. Tonight we celebrate. Tomorrow, we get to work to defeat Trump puppet Mike Rogers in November. Congratulations, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social.
When did the Secretary of State's Elections website become such garbage? Why can't I look at all LD races on one page? Or all statewide races? It used to be good, in years past. What happened??? results.votewa.gov/results/publ...

Damn. This is how lefty progressives should campaign. Hannah is a leader and communicator for the *next* generation of political battles. It’s time for Pedersen to Move On to enjoying private life.
A message to Brian Heywood - gtfo of our district. A message to everyone else: progressive lawmakers should be able to make a CLEAR case for how government is materially delivering on lower costs & better lives for working people. 1/

It really would be nice if you could get a warning BEFORE the City of Seattle tows your vehicle. It's not my fault you put up a no parking sign after I parked it there. Also, you have my phone number and address! Is an automated text too much to ask for???

You're not going to believe this but Gavin Newsom is taking the side of capital over workers. In this case it's tricky because he's backing the very MAGA allies his cosplaying X account claims he's fighting. www.wsj.com/business/med...

83% of Will Dreher's campaign money is from out of state, much of it from employees of OpenAI & Anthropic, & he has a grand total of *20 donors* in his district. Totally normal, not at all sus, I'm sure it's fine. But you might wanna go ahead and choose @ronpdavis.bsky.social for the 46th LD anyways
Look at KUOW latching onto this "after hours of silence" narrative like a dog with a bone. It got leaked she asked him to resign last night. He had the choice to resign today after what I'm sure was a little negotiation over severance. JFC. 🙄
After hours of radio silence Thursday, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson announced that Police Chief Shon Barnes would step down.

One of Matt Yglesias’s defining political positions is that Democrats should be more moderate in order to attract more votes. But moderation is a moving target, as evidenced by the rapid change in public opinion on Israel-Palestine over the last few years.
Moderation Is Not a Real Political Strategy
Pundits who say politicians should strategically “moderate” their views have a simple problem: the majority viewpoint is often changing. Just look at Matt Yglesias’s advice to Democrats on Israel, where the moderate position rapidly shifted under his feet.

“Martin Luther King Jr. was a socialist.” Citing Black history and the labor movement, Michigan congressional candidate Donavan McKinney talks about why he’s a Democratic socialist — and challenges the media treating Black voters as a monolith of moderates. zeteo.com/p/this-black...

Adding to this thread: it’s a common mistake (I’ve made it myself, many times) to think of the motivations of the capitalist elites as essentially mercantilist: that is, that they are largely still motivated *entirely* by profit and loss, selling product, etc. This has not been true for a while.
It's still smart for Brin. He's worth $240 billion; this tax could theoretically cost him $12 billion. This is a fraction of that. But *even if the math didn't work for him*, he'd still do it. He'd spend $20 billion to save $1 billion of it came to that, because the numbers aren't the point.
I know some very smart people (VSPs) online will concern-troll us about how we need checks and balances. But those checks and balances mostly serve to privileged elites, not oppressed minorities. program.dsausa.org#democracy @demsocialists.bsky.social #constitution #workersdeservemore #democracy

"Look, I'm still not the kind of priest to say things like "they're putting demons in the robots," but the chainsaw-wielding black drones with eyeball horns are making it harder to argue my case." I don't think this is what @doctorow.pluralistic.net meant by centaur.
the entire media ecosystem is pushing for a new red scare around DSA. @seattledsa.org just had the biggest general meeting i can remember last night. COINCIDENCE???
I have been to so many Democratic org meetings where people insisted the Democrats were a "big tent coalition". I had to accept people who were anti-tax, anti-trans, anti-universal healthcare, anti- every social good because the Democratic party welcomes everyone. Funny how that means nothing now.
Centrists in Congress (anonymously) threatening to leave this Democratic Party. James Carville calling for a schism. Top Dems refusing to endorse Dem primary winners. Pouty (also anonymous) pro-Israel donors in MI calling for a donor strike—I wrote about the emerging centrist Uncommitted Movement.
