Let’s have a better Brooklyn, and a better America, and a better world.
The listening, the welcoming, the uplifting, the providing, the sharing, the science, history, literature, art, culture, and respect; how can we survive?!
A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · 5h agoLeftists winning popular elections is very divisive. How are you supposed to unify a country with this sort of thing. I ask you.
aww did someone get addicted to corruption and graft!!!!
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 14h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Has anyone ever not left anywhere as quickly as billionaires did not leave New York and James Carville will not leave the Democratic Party?
Wajahat Ali@wajali.bsky.social · 7h agoHave James Carville and Bill Maher left the Democratic Party yet? Let me be the first to say, "Good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight!"
Rather absurd framing when you consider the results up and down the ballot, and where expectations were before just the last few weeks.
Politico@politico.com · 8h agoProgressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted
Don’t totally understand this one yet, but OK!
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 9h agoA major defeat for conservatives in Kansas, who were hoping to make inroads on the state supreme court by switching the state to regular elections. Their measure was defeated 61/39. (I'll have more to say on what this means for the court going forward soon.)
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.
VICTORY! Congratulations to @abdulelsayed.bsky.social on his victory in Michigan tonight. This win proves that working people everywhere – from New York to Michigan – are ready for leaders who fight for their priorities: Medicare for All, affordability, and a Green New Deal.
I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.
Julia Azari@juliaazari.bsky.social · 13h agoOne way to be safe is to never write an electability take
Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
This is the story of three candidates fighting against the rich and powerful for a brighter future.
Please, leave X. If you haven’t already, it’s a fabulous time to do so. Know a number of people who quit X. Every single one of them is delighted that they did. Just walk away. That’s it.
FREEBROOKLYN❌👑@freebklyn.bsky.social · 16h agoStarting to unfollow and mute accounts who frequently post screenshots from X. Really, everyone should just leave X. And you can’t leave it if you’re over there taking screenshots all the time. And we don’t need that stuff in front of us endlessly. We’re busy, or enjoying ourselves.
Today marks just ONE week until Primary Election Day on Tuesday, Aug 11th! Team Fateh has been canvassing across Senate District 62 to get out the vote for progressive candidates! Make your plan to vote: mnvotes.org Join us for a door knock: sd62dfl.org/events/
i know we dont have the resources to be everywhere and i know Michigan and Wisconsin are big opportunities but im pissed about this Cori Bush deserves better from us
talia jane@taliajane.bsky.social · 14h agoCori Bush, whose campaign to regain her lost seat struggled to capture the spotlight as progressives largely focused on Michigan, has been defeated by Wesley Bell, who received significant funding from the pro-Israel lobby to secure reelection. Bell snagged +70%. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
After failing to derail Mamdani and El-Sayed, the Establishment's entire focus will be to derail Francesca Hong. I hope she stays on message & doesn't let them distract her. People don't care about old tweets, they care about whether you're fighting for them & against the oligarchy & corruption.
I voted against the creation of ICE, and I was the first Senator to call for ICE to be abolished. What we actually need in this country is a pathway to citizenship, not punishment for the pursuit of the American Dream.
Before leaving for August recess on Friday, the Senate could vote on a bill that would turbocharge Trump’s corruption. Senate Democrats can stop the CLARITY Act if they work together, but that’s not going to happen unless our senators hear from us. 👇
Stop Trump’s Crypto Corruption - No to CLARITY Act
The Senate will be considering the CLARITY ACT, a Trojan horse for deregulation that would only help Trump, billionaires, and foreign governments profit at our expense. We need senators to block them.

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!
I couldn’t be prouder of the movement we’ve built in mid-Michigan. Thank you, Ambassador Bridget Brink and Matt Maasdam, for your years of public service and all your hard work on the campaign trail. While tonight we celebrate, there’s still much more work ahead.
@wewill2026.bsky.social has won his primary election for Congress in Michigan. He is the only candidate in his race fighting AI billionaires who are bulldozing our communities, standing up to big money and fighting for people who actually live in Michigan.
This is an Amazon and Whole Foods advertisement opposed to affordable food.
