'In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville. His value was placed at $1,400. More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter, Keisha Lance Bottoms, was elected governor of Georgia.'
Keisha Lance Bottoms and the long road from Crawfordville to Governor’s Mansion
More than 160 years after her ancestors were enslaved in Georgia, the former Atlanta mayor has made history as the first Black woman elected governor.

Honored to have the support of the Boss, @brucespringsteen.net.
60 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 25 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. Vote tomorrow to rein in this abject cruelty.
i finally got to read this and wow is it a steaming pile of crap. there is one constant in everything the NYT does and it’s this attitude of “we are smarter than you and you are simply too stupid to understand our choices.”
Inside the Times’s Decisions on the Alaska Senate Race Story
Our investigation found that Democratic operatives were behind a plan to bring a potential spoiler into the Senate race.

Haley Stevens is more loyal to AIPAC, MAGA and corporate interests than she is to Democratic Party voters. She is a stain on the Democratic Party and shows the establishment wing of the party is not what they claim to be.
Haley Stevens attends church with GOP’s Mike Rogers as Michigan Democrats feud
The appearance by Stevens, who narrowly lost Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed, follows a public clash between the two over an outside group’s ad about Israel.

Surely the @nytimes.com will be all over this story now, right?
Paul Waldman@paulwaldman.bsky.social · 5d agoA good segment on Jen Psaki's show tonight: There's a state where this year Republicans funded a fake Green candidate and multiple fake Dem candidates, none of whom live in the state (one is in prison in NY) to pull votes from Democrats in Senate and House races. Want to guess the state? Alaska!
Big Oil corporations, including ExxonMobil and Chevron, have seen their profits skyrocket thanks to Trump’s war on Iran. Meanwhile, Trump’s own wealth has soared by as much as $35.8 million thanks to his holdings in Big Oil, including ExxonMobil and Chevron. Don’t forget what this was all about.
So we’re supposed to believe there’s no money for health care, but there’s enough money for ICE to spend nearly $500 million buying an abandoned private prison in MN that was originally offered for sale at $75 million just last year?
Microsoft, which saw a 32% rise in profits last quarter, will offer buyouts to 60,000 workers amid rising use of AI. Reminder that Microsoft got $12.5B in tax breaks last year from Trump's Big Ugly Bill Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. The system is rigged.
After observers lawfully filmed ICE in a public parking lot, the agents followed their car, boxed them in, and slashed their tire in retaliation. The observers bravely caught the whole thing on video.
The NY Times will publish a hit piece on the Democratic Alaska senate candidate six days before an Election but won't mention a new rape allegation against the President of the United States.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.
The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.
Truly INSANE for them to all double down on this but speaks to their male fragility and their need to circle the wagons to protect pedophiles
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Jack Hopkins-The Original@therealjackhopkins.bsky.social · 2w agoMusk just warned Democrats he'll "come for" anyone who investigates him. Look, that’s not a threat. It's a dare. If Dems win the House and don't hit him hard on Day One, subpoenas in hand, every vote we cast drifts away in fear. He called the bluff. Now they have to call his.

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.
