When I was a young frog My father took me into the big bog To see a marshing band...
Dems in power will use polling to distract from the fact that Stevens lost as a current rep with party backing, almost unlimited money, and estsblishment endorsements. Whether she lost by 10% or .1% should be a wake up call that they’re very out of touch with voters. But many won’t care or listen.
It can also wake up dormant cancer cells (multiple studies done on breast cancer). Epstein Barr virus is linked to multiple sclerosis. It can reactivate the virus that causes shingles.
Max Kozlov@maxkozlov.bsky.social · 3h agoA severe bout of COVID-19 can wake up an army of dormant viruses hiding inside the body, like Epstein-Barr virus. This reactivation is linked to especially intense bouts of COVID-19 and to the development of long COVID. Published today in @nature.com:
Looks like Lis Smith has given Buttigieg his marching orders as well. Broken clocks and all that, but I’m glad that McMorrow kept her word and as much as I dislike this transphobic dude below, his endorsement also matters in Michigan.
Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 4h agoCongratulations to @jocelynbenson.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, and all the candidates up and down the ticket who earned our party’s nomination here in Michigan. Now it’s time to come together and deliver the case that Democrats must make over the next 90 days, everywhere we go.
All the headlines should read like this one. It’s a coordinated campaign that most of them don’t.

This post is funny to approximately two other ppl. cc: @randmcnally.bsky.social @sharkedup.bsky.social
Governor Andy Beshear@govandybeshear.bsky.social · 7h agoFor 45 years, hardworking Kentuckians have helped create one of the most famous cars around: the Chevrolet Corvette. It was a fun day visiting the General Motors site in Bowling Green to celebrate this team and the amazing work they've done as they look ahead to an even brighter future.
I’m no Warren fan, but good to see at least one Senate Dem other than Sanders endorsing El-Sayed. Interesting that she did so from her personal account and not from her government account.
Elizabeth Warren@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social · 5h agoCongrats @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! Michigan voters sent a powerfully important message that the many can beat the money. It’s time to unite around our Democratic nominee for Senate and win this race in November.
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
One of the under appreciated aspects of recent campaigns on the left - because candidates aren’t bought they can make really good, pithy slogans about core policy goals. Zohran did this with Freeze the Rent. Universal Childcare. Buses fast and free. El-Sayed is doing it here.
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 8h agoMoney 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.
I watched cable news... I thought that less than 2% wins = complete mandate... We were told that this constituted a vibe shift and that the left should get with the fascist program.... What's changed? [OK offline again, lol]
Happy defeat day to Haley Stevens. I am sure the Dems, the pundit class, and the right will be absolutely normal about this outcome.
The board of a Michigan township agreed to rezone a terrain to make way for a data center. Residents opposed to the data center forced a vote on the matter, and they blocked the rezoning tonight: www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...
I am thinking about how the Dem establishment refused to support Mamdani after he won his primary and wondering if they are now going to do this with a whole ass Senate seat.
Remember, @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social said she’d rally behind the winner. Let’s see if she keeps her word or backs out now that El-Sayed has won.
Nehi Peach soda is a top 20 soda and you will never change my mind on this.
If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

As someone who did a feminist study on trans+autistic people, I find it fascinating that the *SAME MEDIA OUTLETS* that helped scream about how vulnerable autistics were being transed by social contagion are now saying these autistics aren't actually autistic. It's Schrödinger's autistic!
I love this and it’s reminding me of the O.G. droplets, Splash and Trickle.

Hell Gate *subscribe today!*@hellgatenyc.com · 2d agoThis past weekend, former Mayor Eric Adams was in Wisconsin Rapids—population 18,654—trying to convince residents that they should allow a real estate developer to build a data center in the heart of their town. The public hearing did not go well. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-i...
I feel like people are reflexively going off on this w/o watching the clip. She’s partnering with moms who are against glyphosate spraying on crops and against their water being poisoned by data centers. She’s not partnering with MAHA wellness grifters on anti vax or anything like that.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d agoThere is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.
Yes, and there would have been no need for coding bootcamps and whatever if tech would just invest even a tiny amount in true apprenticeship. They’d never have pipeline issues again. This sort of evil is on principle for them, because they know it doesn’t make economic sense.
Lyse@lyse.myatproto.social · 2d agoI came across this a while back and ended up saving it because it was so accurate and depressing
Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
