The case for taking Gov. Jeff Landry seriously — as a beatable incumbent
Louisiana’s Republican governor has money, incumbency, and no declared opponent. He also has weak numbers, voter distrust, and a political climate that may be turning against him.

David Bonowitz@dbonowitz.bsky.social · 12mo agoAs offensive as this is, please do watch the whole clip. In 60 seconds, a professional talker (he's glib af) moves from the joke to the polished, effective delivery of a simple (if simplistic), broad, strong message. Dems need to be as clear & persuasive with the final 20 seconds as he is.
Bluesky sees most things square, but that JD Vance hasn't been thoroughly ruined in the public mind means he's better at this than you may want to believe.

Former Senate Judiciary Cmte chief counsel for nominations, former Gorsuch clerk, and twice-spurned Trump AG hopeful Mike Davis, folks. It’s not that the GOP isn’t sending its best. It’s worse: this _is_ its best.

good morning mr president, we have that ai video of you playing quarterback in the super bowl that youve been demanding but we need to reiterate once again that we have 11 days of oil left
just because Musk really is racist and transphobic doesn't mean he isn't also instrumentalizing them to escape the consequences of his actions
If you don’t believe in the power of incentives, think about how little we hear about the most common crime in America (wage theft) compared to all of the imaginary problems capital uses to loot us.
Paul Rosenberg@paulrosenberg.bsky.social · 7h agoFor Labor Day this year I wrote about wage theft (LA is the wage theft capital of the nation---over $1.4 billion/yr) and the just-passed city legislation to fight it, the result of a 3-year legislative struggle... and decades of organizing before that. 1/7
the biggest “job creator” in america is walmart, a third of whose employees are on public assistance
Andrew Zolides, Ph.D.@zolides.bsky.social · 8h agoThis fact also completely defangs any argument about “job creators.” Job creation means nothing when the jobs being created don’t lead to any reasonable standard of living.
In NYC, Mayor Mamdani has launched the Office of Worker Power, designed to connect workers who want to unionize with education and resources. Former US Labor Sec Julie Su is overseeing the effort & the executive director comes from the UAW. "When workers can organize, everything changes," said Su.
Mamdani Opens Office of Worker Power - The American Prospect
The new city agency intends to connect workers who want to unionize with resources and organizing contacts, and use worker stories of exploitation to inform policy.

If this election and the two years that follow it are not understood as our last chances to stop Elon Musk (and Thiel, Andreessen et al, for that matter), we've completely failed.

I think these things have to be understood as 2 things: A movement and a completely produced, extremely well-funded content machine, meant to sway people who do not follow politics or the news at all. We should discredit and destroy the former and absolutely try to persuade the latter's victims.
Ed@notdred.bsky.social · 8h agoI guess it’s important to communicate that MAHA is fundamentally an movement by individuals to capture health care dollars by lying to people about having products and services that work
The Democratic Party has no interest in making the world’s second most prominent fascist leader a factor in this election. Tell me that isn’t throwing the game.
Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 8h agoWe couldn't have done it without you. German Neo Nazi leaders salute Elon Musk, the man who made their victory in Saxony-Anhalt possible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Remember reality: Elon Musk bought Trump's presidency, cheered German fascists with Nazi salutes, then installed a regime that targets organizations under the guise of attacking antisemitism while constantly hiring and signaling to Nazis.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

I am only making such an extreme analogy b/c of how baffled I am by the argument made by Some People that the american poor and working class is in a much better position than others in comparable classes in the world but the recurring talking point is like saying someone in a horrifically abusive…

The most enjoyable @500songspodcast.bsky.social episodes for me are the ones about 1) artists I need to learn a lot about and 2) LA. Don't think I'd heard Beefheart's voice, though tons of his influence, until the Zappa “Peaches En Regalia” episode. Now I'm addicted to the song he sings on Hot Rats.
Ethan Hein@ethanhein.bsky.social · 8h agoI am no great fan of Captain Beefheart but I will say that after listening to the 500 Songs episode about him, I picked up the guitar and started playing some ugly, skronked-out blues. It was totally unconscious! I didn't realize that I was going for a Beefheart sound until after I had stopped.
One key dimension of Musk’s far right propaganda push is his effort to reframe far right extremism as “centrism.” It’s patently absurd to those who follow politics, but it’s effective messaging when aimed at low info voters.

The mystery of why the media and politicians and police treat rightwing protestors differently than they do leftwing ones is because they agree with their goals.
