McKinney is now ahead in suburban Wayne. Combined he's now ahead by 6,554 votes.
oh, this is great to see—Liberati is a gross socially conservative dynasty pol who tried to get Whaley, a progressive, disqualified for not filing under her deadname. Harris+1.5 so she starts out favored

VoteHub@votehub.com · 17h agoMichigan U.S. Senate Democratic Primary Macomb County, In-Person EV from Roseville: 🟣 Abdul El-Sayed – 129 (56.6%) 🟠 Haley Stevens – 95 (41.7%)
BIG result out of the suburban Phoenix city of Chandler (Harris+4). The Dem-aligned candidate (City Councilman Matt Orlando) has easily defeated the GOP-aligned candidate (State Rep Jeff Weninger). The three Dem-endorsed candidates for City Council are also easily winning.
One incumbent State Representative has lost their primary so far in Arizona, Democrat Lydia Hernandez in #HD24 (Glendale). She's down by over 20 points right now to two progressive opponents in this two-seat district.
There are rich people all over. Tribeca has nothing on Amish country, Guam, Borough Park, Bush Country Alaska, or that one island in Hawaii designed for leprosy patients
George Pearkes@peark.es · 3w agoOne of the DMs currently debating the following proposition: what is the *least* representative place in the US? My answer is somewhere like Tribecca, Georgetown, Santa Monica, or similar enclaves of wealth. But curious what people think.
being in the DSA is fun because you get to spend most of your time helping people with social anxiety canvass for democratic school board candidates and then go online to see people with blue wave emojis in their bios compare you to pol pot
This election night should feel like an unqualified success the way fighters, progressives, and socialists have dominated downballot races and open seats, and ousted some incumbents. The problem is it feels like we need to do 10 years of disciplining the party by 2029.
the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)@merovingians.bsky.social · last mo.DSA/Indivisible and the like have got to go after vulnerable incumbent senators in 2028, way too much left on the table here.
Congratulations to Merat Kiros. This voter is probably going to be the oldest and most moderate going forward.

The fights is definitely no over. The section was close enough that it will become a litmus test for conservative legal groups. This won’t matter immediately or even this decade but it took them decades to kill Roe. They’re staring from a friendlier court already.
Bill@bill-of-lefts.bsky.social · last mo.the anti-birthright idea didn’t circulate for long enough in conservative legal circles. If it had circulated for another three years it would’ve been a majority opinion. I really do not think this fight is over
people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov · last mo.Despite Trump’s best efforts to bully them, the Supreme Court just reaffirmed that if you are born in America, you belong in America.
Oh my god man come on!!! This would be ridiculous even if they ruled unanimously against him which they did not.

It was 5-4 on the constitutional question and the fact you are unable to recognise this as a problem is why you are unfit for the purpose. You have to go.

dem leadership spiking the football because 5 out of 9 supreme court justices admit to understanding the meaning of the 14th amendment
Yeah this is not the tone of alarm I’m looking for, try again.
Hakeem Jeffries@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social · last mo.Birthright citizenship remains the law of the land. Out of many, one!
Yeah, I hate to say this is true, but it is. Four justices agreeing is a signal that this is now the benchmark for any conservative jurist. “No more Souters” will turn into “no more Barretts.”
ElieNYC@elienyc.bsky.social · last mo.With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.
we really don't talk about how centrists have gone insane in the past 4 years

Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.
