Evan Sutton@evansutton.bsky.social · 14h agoI encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.
I actually don’t think this is a true narrative and I think outlets have ideological reasons for pushing it Both candidates have been nothing but gracious towards each other, both want to defeat Rogers, both are calling on their constituencies to unite
Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · 13h agoMichigan progressive Abdul El-Sayed’s narrow win over moderate Representative Haley Stevens in a bitterly fought US Senate primary suggests that the party’s voters in a key battleground state are deeply divided
I haven’t been following MI too closely but now that the dust has settled on the primary I will say it This guy has the juice
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 14h agoEl-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?"
⚠️ Democrats in array: Schumer, Gillibrand, and Whitmer coalesce behind El-Sayed
correct are you serious about beating fascism or not? get in, we’re beating them in november you can be mad, you can be disappointed, but at the end of the day having someone with D in any and all seats is better than having someone with an R in them
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 17h agoI meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.
this is not at all clear and is a poisonous sentiment
Another Josh Smith@jcsmith55.bsky.social · 15h agoIt's pretty clear that, for centrist/establishment Dems, "Blue No Matter Who" applies only to progressive voters whose preferred candidate lost The establishment has cooked their brains into thinking winning over moderate GOP voters is a winning strategy
They could always sign up to give comment at a public meeting.
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · yesterdayNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.
Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers
The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 3w agoA quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!
people getting upset about this is so crazy. bsky needs to become more than just a liberal politics app. doesn’t mean it needs more nazis & right wingers, just means it needs less politically focused users. it’s not good to be in your own little bubble, can’t have change with nobody to influence.

This is why people don’t report domestic abuse. The cops love to say “This is a family fight” and “there are 2 sides to every story” until the abused party winds up dead.

JIMMY PATRONIS: No. I agree with the president. This is a family fight. Unfortunately, divorces are messy. There are two sides to every story.
This is the tragic yet logical result of a decades-long project—undertaken by rightwing politicians and “business-minded” administrators alike—to distort the meaning of higher education, to deny the intrinsic value of the pursuit of knowledge, to deprive us all of richer, more purposeful lives.

Blindingly obvious that this is targeted at “degrees we think women get.”
