This is team player shit, beat the bad guys shit. I love it. No fucking around with it, just let's go.
Evan Sutton@evansutton.bsky.social · 4h agoI encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.
the sports Oregon guy saying this is a "process none of us asked for" is pretty cynical. Actually, the corporate insiders absolutely wanted this process. They coordinated it during "Project Mt. Hood". They just thought it was going to get the hundreds of millions out without friction.
Kate Lieber telling people that the legislature didn't even consider the need for private investment is the clearest tell that the fix was in

Abdul El-Sayed has won, NBC News says. And there are other wins for the left in Michigan: —William Lawrence wins his U.S. House primary. —A DSA-backed candidate is leading a Democratic incumbent for state House. —Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of Uncommitted, leads for state Senate.
The #1 reason I wanted her to lose. Not because she was "AIPAC" but because there was no way those taps were going to keep flowing against Rogers
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 13h agoNo matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.
LOL. Abdul El-Sayed WON the Democratic Primary in Michigan despite being outspent 10-1! Amazing gaslighting here.
Politico@politico.com · 11h agoProgressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted
Pretty sure when you win the election it's a big election night. Pretty sure when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate.

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname
Great day for the council to talk about using our climate adaptation fund for a billionaire bailout

This is just rank Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, based on the bigoted idea that there is something inherently scary about a president with the last name "El-Sayed." It is incumbent on all of us to call it out.

Haley Stevens was out with a gracious concession and a commitment to support Abdul El-Sayed within about one hour of the AP call in her race. If she can buck up first thing in the morning, everyone else can. That’s actual political leadership.
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 8h agoI meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.
correct are you serious about beating fascism or not? get in, we’re beating them in november you can be mad, you can be disappointed, but at the end of the day having someone with D in any and all seats is better than having someone with an R in them

I want to note that Biden dropped out on July 21; tweet is dated July 22

Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:
Memento (artemis) Morty 🌙@mementomorty.bsky.social · 3h agowe should hear MAHA out about this they might be onto something
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
i am also struck by how rapidly these discussions move away from the material details of ordinary human bodies and into something more like debates about idealized and abstract Male Form vs. Female Form, which are supposed to reside somewhere in plato's realm of ideas
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 2d agoit's interesting how many men get satisfaction out of knowing that other men can beat elite female athletes. like ok, maybe the best high school boys team in the country can beat a WNBA team, but YOU can't
this feels insanely, incredibly even, reasonable
Mitch Green@councilorgreen.bsky.social · 2h agoWe’re hearing testimony on the Moda term sheet today. I have filed an amendment that seeks to do two broad things: 1. empower the Joint Authority to limit expenditure public funds in the public interest with transparency and accountability 2. Reduce City’s commitment from $400M -> $120MM
way closer than expected, but an Arab leftist besting 70 million in outside spending is an Arab leftist besting 70 million in outside spending: a political earthquake and a new dawn 25 years after 9/11
They're calling it for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social — this is a victory for Medicare for All, for every American who has ever needed care but couldn't afford it. We are one step closer to realizing health care as a human right in this country.
Mallory McMorrow endorses Abdul El Sayed minutes after NBC call
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 13h agoGoodnight
This level of spending actually makes me deeply angry. Let's never do this again in a primary ok
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 13h agoUnfathomable
