Democratic voter, human doctor. I probably cuss too much, I'm working on it. Vocal opponent of antisemitism. Never again means never again.
ICE has now spent over $2.2 BILLION on purchasing 4 private prisons from CoreCivic, with the company banking half a billion dollars on the most recent sale. Of course, ICE will not actually operate these facilities; CoreCivic keeps the contracts to run these places for the foreseeable future.
Please look at the replies to every post she has on here and ask yourself who on earth would unite with these maggots? Same Bernie Bros that behaved like assholes in every election since 2016. They are a cancer
Rep. Haley Stevens@rephaleystevens.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: The Senate is taking my lead to block Trump from letting his cronies control federal funding. I’ve been leading the charge on this in the House. It’s why I introduced my Protect Local Funding Act to stop Trump from throwing out our longstanding nonpartisan federal grant process.
One more thing: Go ahead and use that anti-AIPAC energy against Mike Rogers if you want to, but you’ll find it won’t work as well in the general election against a Republican. And he’ll have a massive corporate-funded war chest that El-Sayed will need to compete against.
You can’t have a progressive movement that doesn’t center on overcoming racism, particularly toward Black Americans. That’s the sin from which our national ills stem. We won’t truly fix this country without reckoning with ourselves. That’s the movement I hope to be a part of.
Hilarious. And then you guys didn't listen. Well let's see how you feel now that the shoes on the other foot.
Tell Tale Raven@historysraven.bsky.social · 13h agoI seem to remember a whole bunch of you screaming “vote blue no matter who” at leftists in 2024. Maybe it’s time for you to follow your own demand.

This is a new view of the bulldozed White House complex. The criminal monstrosity subhuman filth won’t stop until he destroys everything, makes me sick to my stomach.
I'm not sure Abdul's followers know how to pivot to attacking Republicans. Looks like they just wanna keep owning the libs. Anyway, good luck Michigan. I think you chose the wrong horse, but what's done is done.
Yeah Abdul has a lot of work to do. Who wants to unify with people like this?
You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.
A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?
Donald Trump promised he'd "take care" of Los Angeles firestorm survivors. 18 months later, he's flying back to LA. Not to help, but to host a fundraiser at his golf club. Do the right thing, Mr. President.
Hayley Stevens won the black vote and rural voter vote. Abdul is gonna need those votes for the general. Do you think it's helpful to call their preferred candidate gross? 
Wow, you're brilliant. Thinking that the Democratic leader of the Senate wants a fucking republican to win. Do you understand what a senate majority is?
If El Syed wants to win, he needs to disavow people like this immediately
Wheat@leftyvegan.bsky.social · 20h agoOh thank God. I didn't want to have to listen to that lady anymore.
To my Black and Jewish folks on BlueSky, prepare for the worst until after November. Cause we are about to be blamed for everything.
Now this Senate candidate I absolutely adore. Let's go, Mary!!
Mary Peltola@marypeltola.com · yesterdayRipping healthcare and housing away from the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our country is about as anti-American as it gets. Alaska's veterans deserve better than a senator who votes against them. alaskabeacon.com/2026/07/29/a...
This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.
Thank you to everyone who voted today. And a special thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped at the polls! 💚
Abdul needs to disavow this kind of antisemitism immediately.
At the end of it, all Abdul El Sayed is going to barely eke out a win in the Michigan Senate primary. I hope his most toxic supporters are reigned in and the candidate himself has a little ego check Best of all he is going to have to vigorously disavow Hasan Piker for the general.
I remember watching Kornacki one election night years ago and it was so exhausting and stressful. Also felt very much like he was reporting on sporting events. Same energy
Jared Yates Sexton@jysexton.bsky.social · 24h agoIt would be rad if we didn’t have minute-to-minute coverage of elections and just reported results when they were finished. This exasperated, hyperventilating theater is good for ratings but also just bullshit.
Don't forget in 2010 republicans similarly couldn't win the control of the senate in strong red wave year where they had huge house of reps wins and flipped many gov seats but they were bogged was bad candidates in senate and lost winnable races. Same thing could happen to dems this year I worry.
NEW: I just introduced a bill that would crack down on Trump’s new $100,000/month fast feed of his market-moving Truth Social posts. We must stand up against his rampant corruption.
