See why AIPAC is a non-starter as a backer for any Dem candidate? They will turn around and fund Republicans as soon as you reject them.

Ever since I learned that Thoreau was an inspiration for MLK, I've wanted to read Civil Disobedience. I finally got a cheap copy at a thrift store and flew through it. My initial thoughts: It's shorter, less revolutionary, and more agreeable than I expected. It's chock-full of banger quotes. 🧵
This is a huge opportunity for progressives in MI. Abdul El-Sayed, Donavan McKinney, and Will Lawrence have a huge attack surface for their GOP opponents on this issue.
WIRED@wired.com · 15h agoActivist and grassroots organizer Will Lawrence has won the Democratic primary election in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, with a campaign focused on data centers’ regulation and demanding accountability for big tech and AI companies. www.wired.com/story/anti-d...

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

It's funny that they're trying not to call the Senate race for El-Sayed and yet McMorrow has already endorsed him for the general.
The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.
You're fucking hilarious. Dark money and super PACs (mainly AIPAC) lost while spending $70 million. This was huge.

I don't fault you for thinking this but it's kind of funny to frame the exact thing people dislike about VBNMW as its key selling point. It's not like its opponents are... unaware of this. It's their main complaint?
Stan Oklobdzija@stano.bsky.social · 22h agoThe best thing about Vote Blue No Matter Who is that it unloads a lot of cognitive burden. I wanted Tom Steyer to be in the Governor's race, but he's not so I'm gonna vote for Becerra. I don't follow his campaign at all: I'm voting for him because he's not a Republican.
What the fuck, why

The Downballot@the-downballot.com · 22h agoSeems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.

Cornyn is lying but also he's such a pushover and if there's one thing politicians are supposed to be good at, it's never admitting they're powerless to their supposed opponents.

Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · yesterdayDepicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope.
