IT’S OFFICIAL. A Sunrise Movement co-founder is the Democratic nominee for Congress in MI-07. Huge congratulations to @wewill2026.bsky.social on his victory!
If the goal was to destroy a functioning government, divide the people, weaken our public health and educational institutions, elevate opinions over expertise, alienate us from our allies, and enrich the ultra wealthy, then Trumpism has been successful.
The left needs a candidate it can unite around in the 2028 primaries and AOC is the only real choice. Nobody else checks all of the boxes. Every other option is worse. If she doesn't run, it's a missed opportunity of historic proportions. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/aoc-must-r...
AOC Must Run For President
History is calling. Sorry!

not sure how anyone can stay on an app thats fighting in court for the right to generate non consensual nudes of people, including children
my feelings on this are pretty straightforward: if you have a problem with poor people having greater access to less expensive food then you’re a fucking psycho.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · last wk.Weird how much discourse around the Mamdani grocery stores ignores the existence of the Green Cart intiative (launched under Bloomberg) that provides subsidized fruit and vegetable stands across the city under the exact same logic as the grocery stores
DSA platform 🔴Eliminate the U.S. Senate 🔴Replace the presidency and Supreme Court 🔴Public ownership of major corporations 🔴Abolish police and prisons 🔴Defund the Pentagon 🔴Tax the wealthy to expand public ownership 🔴Prosecute U.S. and Israeli leaders over Gaza 2/3
the world historical equivalent of what Trump has done for the fossil economy at Hormuz
Crowsa Luxemburg@quendergeer.bsky.social · last wk.ok but what if elon musk makes racism so cringe no one wants to do it any more
really something to see tech YouTuber types calmly discussing the latest Tesla or SpaceX business news without once mentioning Elon’s 50 Day of the Rope posts per day or his murdering 700,000+ people
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · last mo.X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups
They hate Mamdani and want to stop him the same way they like Trump and want to help him
Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social · 2w agoMamdani criticizes Netanyahu. Later, a crazy man stabs a Jewish man and an Asian man. And we get an article suggesting that while one stabbing (dismissed in six words) is just a shrug, the other implicates the mayor. Disgraceful framing. Shame on everyone involved. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/n...
this is the guy our economic system rewarded with $1 trillion. if that’s not good enough reason to tear it down, i don’t know what is.

Going to see the Futurebirds tonight! They've been one of my favorite bands for years & I always think it's crazy more people don't listen to them. Their recent album, Far Out Country, is so so good. (If you're in Seattle, I happen to have one spare ticket, & it's sold out. Ping me if interested.)

Obviously the impact of this racist “triangulation“ was infinitely worse for Black Americans & other radicalized groups, but it offers a decent illustration of how you can’t out-white supremacy an overtly white supremacist party. No one wants to buy White Lite.
Unbought and unbossed. DSA is proud to endorse Rashida Tlaib for Congress. In the Capitol, Rashida unapologetically stands up for the working class everywhere. Fighting for affordable housing, clean air and water, an end to the genocide in Gaza, and more, she is a beacon of hope and courage.
Dang, 220 million voter files stolen by China starting in 2020? Who was president back then, it sounds like he must have sucked ass
Just want to say that @jaketapper.bsky.social wrote a book on the wrong candidate’s dementia and that should be obvious to every American.
I’m a card carrying socialist & union member & all that and/but this book fucking torpedoed for me the myth that Democrats & Republicans are “the same.” The massive, fundamental differences btwn D & R administrations in regard to disabled ppl’s lives is INSANE.👩🏻🦼➡️❤️ judithheumann.com/being-heumann/

I love living in a world where this, the absolutely obvious explanation that everyone with a single fucking brain cell knew to be the case weeks ago, was never mentioned by the media as because they were too busy echoing and amplifying Trump's obvious lies about vandalism. bsky.app/profile/wash...

The path to winning in November starts now, and it starts with you. Join us this Sunday, July 19th for a launch of our general election campaign and a volunteer appreciation BBQ!
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Abolish ICE should be the MINIMUM position demanded of any candidate.
You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.
news of a little girl in bluey pajamas witnessing ICE murder her dad happening concurrently with another discourse about "civility" towards those in power who... enable/condone/want a little girl in bluey pajamas witnessing ICE murder her dad makes you wonder what civility even means, ever meant
I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.
Why do we have a trillionaire when the rest of us can barely afford groceries or healthcare?
