Oh no; it appears Donald Trump has endorsed against my campaign for Lieutenant Governor with all thirty-one percent of his approval rating.

The MAGA plot to subvert the 2026 midterm elections is coming into focus. 1. Declassify docs to claim 2020 was stolen. 2. Declare a "national emergency" to seize control of the election apparatus. 3. Hope the "national security" predicate keeps courts out. www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...
MAGA media's laughable propaganda about Trump's popularity is instrumental to the plot to subvert elections

BREAKING: Eleventh Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, upholds injunction blocking Florida from enforcing its 2022 Stop WOKE Act in the university context. The majority opinion is from Judge Britt Grant, a Trump appointee: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
This is why I have waged war against predatory car booting in Georgia. The issue resonates with voters more than pundits expect because it’s actually about declining third spaces and the cost of living.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · last mo.Run on this! It's a real thing! People want to hang out IRL but hanging out IRL is too expensive.
I see a lot of “so-and-so is a birthright citizen” because their parents weren’t citizens when they were born on American soil. But the truth is, we’re all birthright citizens, unless we have been naturalized.
The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.
Dolezal is the Republican I’m running against for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia. He is an election denier and has to be stopped. I just won the primary and became the Democratic nominee last week. My website is joshforgeorgia.com - would love to have you on the team.
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · last mo.Dolezal said he and “a number of friends” deliberately submitted mail-in ballot applications with altered signatures — including forms signed by children — and then used the fact that they received ballots to argue that Georgia’s system facilitates fraud. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Seems bad

BREAKING: Georgia lawmakers have taken redistricting off the table as a result of public pressure. The state will no longer consider a new, racist map that would have diluted Black voting power. This victory makes it loud and clear: Our demands are working.
Last night I became Georgia Democrats’ nominee for Lieutenant Governor. I’m honored to have this chance to chart a new course for Georgia state government for the first time in 20 years. Very grateful to my friends and supporters for the hard work to get this far. Let’s get it done in November.
Honored to have Stacey Abrams’s endorsement in my campaign for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia. Election Day (primary runoff) is this Tuesday!
Georgia: did you know there’s a primary runoff? Early voting June 8-12 (including June 6 if you’re in Gwinnett, DeKalb, Fulton, or Cobb) Election Day June 16!
Over the last 48 hours, my campaign for Lieutenant Governor received the endorsement of Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. I’m incredibly grateful to both of them for their endorsement and leadership. We are building the team that will win in Georgia for the first time in 20 years!
When I’m asked about “hope” on the campaign trail, I often mention Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The federal government brought its full weight down on him - illegal deportation, violation of court orders, state-sponsored smears, torture prison, contrived indictment - yet he’s back home and still standing.
AFL-CIO@aflcio.org · 2mo agoAfter over a year of uncertainty for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family, the unjust criminal charges against our SMART union brother have been dropped! We applaud this win for due process. We’ll keep fighting against attacks on our union family and their rights.
I’m excited to be in the June 16 runoff for the Democratic nomination for GA’s Lieutenant Governor. We won 115/159 counties last night with 41.4% of the vote - we’re heading into the runoff in the lead. Grateful to all my friends and supporters who worked hard for this result. Four weeks to go!
580,000+ Democratic early voters in Georgia - expecting to hit a million Dem primary voters in total on Election Day this Tuesday. If you’re looking for an indication of what November will be like in Georgia… here it is.
Corporations and politicians have worked together to obstruct workers’ ability to join together in unions and build power, especially in the South. Community benefits agreements are the way forward. More from Nashville and Middle Tennessee CLC President @unionwoman.bsky.social:
We Have the Power to Turn Manufacturing Investments Into Good Jobs in the South
Community benefit agreements can secure strong labor protections, environmental standards, and local investments.

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing
Kemp has called a special session in Georgia for June 17, to do the same thing the other southern states are doing. It’ll be all hands on deck to try to protect Black voting power in Georgia.
Alito’s primary strategic weakness (and the reason the incumbent scotus will lose to a popular reform movement) is his arrogant belief that his legal reasoning is stronger than the forces it masks
Jay Willis@jaywillis.net · 3mo agoGenuinely funny that Alito just wrote a whole opinion making clear that the only thing Republicans have to do to gerrymander Black people out of electoral existence is say "this is about politics, not race," and then this genius is like CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW MANY BLACK PEOPLE ARE IN THAT DISTRICT??
i have said this before but the hate you have for citizens united is imo more properly reserved for buckley v. valeo

I find it incredibly telling when men like Dawkins are convinced that the LLMs are ‘intelligent’ because it ‘agrees’ with them or tells them how insightful or clever they are
