given how utterly shit the michigan polls were for the primary, not really sure how much to trust GE polls going forward there. 1

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 · 22h agoOne way to be safe is to never write an electability take
It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

tbh no, because all polling and public sentiment has been completely fucking Whack dot com since pre-2016. michigan is a purple state. there will be a lot of "the left is doomed" "the center is doomed" "i was right all along" "i can't believe i'll never be right again" and it's all Noise.

Hah, I've been saying that forever. The only time she votes against DJT is when it doesn't matter. I sure hope Mainers have seen the light and realize she's not a moderate she's nothing but a liar quietly shoveling in the millions from anyone who will toss a few buck her way.

Polymarket has millions of dollars in wildfire-related bets & more than $1M in beds were placed on the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires! DESPICABLE! THE PREDICTION MARKET PROMOTES THE OBSTRUCTION FIREFIGHTERS OR FOLKS TO GO OUT AND COMMIT ARSON! It's absolutely nuts!

ALL my grandpa’s book should be required white reading. He will change your life—I have the data to prove this. He and grandma Vera Mae have touched tens of thousands of lives—they have precious little time left on this 🌍. Civil Rights Icons, the legends Ms. Vera Mae and Rev. Dr. John M. Perkins✨
JP@johnathanperk.bsky.social · last yr.My grandpa John M. Perkins (94) is a civil rights icon; I routinely meet people from all over, who’ve heard or read one of his many lectures or books. Whenever he mentions the eldest son of his eldest son, he brags about my intellect—he knows I get it from him. He’s where I get my confidence from 🖤
So they’ve counted and they have enough votes lined up to confirm Blanche, so Susan Collins can safely scrunch her brow and vote “no.”
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · yesterdayBREAKING on MS NOW: Susan Collins says she's voting against Todd Blanche's nomination to be Attorney General.
"History involves sorting and organizing hundreds of thousands of facts" I remain astounded by how loud and wrong people are about what history actually is.
This and flock cameras/mass surveillance. Those are the spaces where you encounter everybody across the political spectrum.
William Lawrence@wewill2026.bsky.social · yesterdayPeople across the political spectrum want candidates who stand up to Silicon Valley billionaires and AI data centers. 66% of Independents & 47% of Republicans want to back candidates running to pause data center construction. That's how we'll win today, and again on Nov 3rd.

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

It really really really bugs me how many people simply do not understand what it means when the government tries to convict you even IF THEY FAIL TO DO IT. Do you know how many thousands of dollars in legal fees it costs? You will most likely lose your job. You might lose your home.
Trump is not going to jail as I said to folks years ago. That's not the country you live in.
For years, I have, and my peers & competitors have, reported about Musk co. employees' civil rights violations, Musk being found to have engaged in union-busting, his bashing trans people, endorsing AfD & so much more. It's not new - but I'm glad it's being discussed bluntly by famous columnists now
