quickest way to lose my business, for sure

This is a talked-to-death subject but I always shudder when I see businesses putting up AI art/AI food pics on menus. I'm not a softy but I always think of the artist who didn't get paid (or at least copied!) so some trypophobia-ass image could go up

bag searches in public spaces? that will help these businesses!! meanwhile, every reactionary cheering this on never shops after 9pm in these areas

some kind of Ys guy@meldric.cc · yesterday

mayor scott is expanding the "event areas" that are actually just public spaces but require IDs to get in, to Fed Hill

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org

The moment Collins announced she was a no on Blanche, you KNEW they had the votes.

BREAKING: An 82-year-old American has been left bleeding from his head after Israeli soldiers flashbanged him in the village of Turmusayya, in the West Bank. Soldiers then confiscated bystander phones and deleted footage of the incident. Trump just welcomed Netanyahu for the eighth time.

Last min road trip? :) We can keep this momentum going across the Midwest, but we need all the help we can get -- which is why we’re adding one more canvass trip to Milwaukee for Francesca Hong this Saturday, 8/8!! If you've been waiting for the right time to make an impact, this is it.

I'm for Medicare For All. Susan Collins is not. Instead, she helped advance Trump's $990 billion in healthcare cuts just last year. That's why Big Pharma and Big Insurance are trying to buy her another six years in Washington. They will fail.

I really, really wish people that spend all their time online would talk to real voters. People are excited about the positions she's campaigning on, not online posts.

People who spend all day on X reading fringe posts fed to them by the algorithm seem to think the entire Democratic Party wants to cancel Thanksgiving, not realizing 95% of Dems winning primaries are normies. Francesca Hong is not, in fact, the head of the DNC www.noahpinion.blog/p/are-the-de...

if the moderate wing of the Dem party would spend even half of the energy they are spending fighting the DSA on fighting Trump they wouldn't be losing so many primaries to the DSA

"We are preparing for the next war that is coming": Abdul El-Sayed's victory in Michigan and the rise of DSA candidates in multiple states have Democrats at odds with each other over the identity and future of the party. @shanegoldmacher.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

You look like a fake opportunist. Voters HATE fake, performative politics. Fix this now @wewill2026.bsky.social before you depress the turnout you need. And if DNC consultants told you to do this - they're not going to give you the money you think they will.

NEW: Regarding the claims that Rep. Max Miller withheld his toddler's "blue bunny," I have some new screenshots suggesting there was a pattern of Miller not giving the bunny back. There were pleas from multiple people on multiple dates. (Thread: 1/8)

El-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.

The direct line between what happened to Mamie Till Mobley after Emmett was killed and what’s happening to this woman now is becoming a circle. A dot, actually.

Christine Wells Wonsley, the mother of Nolan Wells, has learned that the Mississippi Board of Nursing opened a professional misconduct investigation against her following an anonymous complaint, the family’s lawyer said. www.mississippifreepress.org/nolan-wells-...

El-Sayed: "We've been talking about an illegal apartheid regime for a very very long time, and that supersedes Netanyahu itself. So I just think we need to treat Israel the way we would treat any other country that behaved the way Israel is behaving."

Also looks like the DSA will FLIP the Ann Arbor Mayor's office, with former DSA State Representative Yousef Rabhi destroying Democratic incumbent Christopher Taylor: Rabhi- 63.5% Taylor (Inc)- 36.5%

I hope the El-Sayed scare light a fire under national progressives’ asses to lock the fuck in for Flanagan, Hong, and Markey Congress is about to go on recess, Bernie/AOC/Warren better be camping out in Minnesota Wisconsin and Massachusetts for the next month

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

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.

THAT’S RIGHT

Kat Abughazaleh@katmabu.bsky.social · last wk.

AIPAC may have bought our election in Illinois, but we're not going to let that happen in Michigan. 5 days left to make them panic. Vote for Abdul on or before August 4th.

NBC just called it for El-Sayed

This was a battle that was fought with the tenacity of truth and justice on our side. We won. Now we have to defeat Mike Rogers and his fascist party.

Congrats to Chris Gilmer-Hill on winning the primary for a seat in the Michigan state house! Chris is a lifelong Detroiter fighting for affordability and environmental justice for all Detroiters. @detroitdsa.bsky.social

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.

Congratulations to Rashida Tlaib on winning her congressional primary! As the first Palestinian-American woman elected to congress, Rashida continues to fight for Detroit and international solidarity. @detroitdsa.bsky.social

NEW: Israel has imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's West Bank home right before his sister’s grad party. They ignored his US passport. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom. Adam is now the second American in Israeli prison. Trump just hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.
