Democrats might attract a lot of non-voters by promoting gig worker's rights.
I vote for shitty moderate Democrats all the time in general elections. I do it because Republicans are demons from hell, not because I care about the opinions of people like this. But man is it annoying.
Delta Nupe@itsnotuitsme1911.bsky.social · 15h agoEl-Sayed won. I’m urging Black Detroiters to STAY HOME and be “uncommitted’ like El-Sayed was for Kamala Harris during the general election. Dearborn voted for TRUMP instead of the Black Lady. I’m encouraging Black Detroit to vote for Jill Stein or Trump , like the Arabs in Dearborn did in 24!
Congrats @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! Michigan voters sent a powerfully important message that the many can beat the money. It’s time to unite around our Democratic nominee for Senate and win this race in November.

They subpoenaed an 85-year-old man who has testified before Congress 250 times. They published his private diary first. Then screamed profanity at him for not talking. Six years of investigation. Zero charges. This is what having nothing looks like. www.JackHopkinsNow.com
“The Trump administration opened the floodgates for these predatory companies to come in and profit off of detaining human beings.” ICE is a for-profit scheme paid for by taxpayers, using immigrants as commodities. @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
As for-profit companies battle over ICE contracts, immigrants are caught in the middle
"There is so much money right now in detaining people."

That's bothersome. Democrats should support whomever the voters choose as their nominee in the primaries and stick together. We shouldn't be fighting our own. We're going up against fucking nazis. And we should respect the voters' choice in the primary.
Guardian US@us.theguardian.com · 6d ago"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
To be clear: Senate Republicans are caving on a deal that gives Donald Trump and his family immunity from tax audits potentially worth $100 million.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

I love em dashes and I'm not going to give them up because robots that write badly also use them.
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 3d agoYeah, Kat Tenbarge was much nicer to Jack Osbourne than I would have been, I would have just told him to go fuck himself. Also, if you're going to accuse a writer or journalist of using "AI" on the basis of em dashes, absolutely positively go fuck yourself.

STATEMENT ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REFLECTING POOL INFIGHTING
This is an administration willing to inflict real harm on ordinary people to protect its own power. And when survival is their only policy, anyone can become the next target.
The claim was a lie. Trump had no evidence of vandals. He makes shit up all the time. That's the big story, the never-ending story, the story that needs to be reported over and over.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 5d ago“Trump administration drops Reflecting Pool case, blaming damage on ‘botched’ installation.” A major concession from President Trump’s team after he repeatedly claimed the problem was caused by vandals. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Everyone who promoted that lie should be thrown out of DC, including Trump. Everyone who went on the air defending it should publicly apologize. But we’ll just move on to the next way Trump targets innocent people to avoid saying he fucked up.

No other Justice Department has screwed up so much, so badly & been forced to dismiss its own cases before a Judge bashed them. Oh, and this happened on Todd Blanche’s watch.

Trump is more focused on collecting money for his pet projects than he is on governing. Offering donors special access in exchange for tens of millions of dollars isn’t draining the swamp — it’s expanding it.
