A DSA insurgent just beat the establishment favorite in a Florida statewide primary while being outspent 16-to-1? And this wasn’t national news?? #FLSEN

Told my son (6) I was going to NYC and he asked if I was going to see Alexander Hamilton

I’m reading a book published in 1944 and this logo is so unbelievably tough. I’d absolutely wear a shirt with this exact design.

Separately (and ik I’m no professional here) but @stjohnsdemocrats.org need to step up their recruitment game bc wdym there are 2 open county commissioner races with 4 REP candidates & no DEM candidates? Probably your best bet at picking up seats bc of a crowded field! cc: @fladems.bsky.social

First day of early vote in SJC! Some of these races will be decided in the primary. Make sure you vote your full ballot! If you’re voting a DEM ballot, I encourage you to check out these candidates: USSEN: Angie Nixon FL05: Rachel Grage GOV: Jolly / Graham SCHOOL BOARD DISTRICT 1: Bev Slough

Well well well. Election season is upon us—we meet again, Pennsylvania. #labor2026 #1u

My boomer take is that “asf” is stupid af

@aft.org National Convention kicks off today! Which coincides with Election Season Eve for me. Unfortunately that also means my posting will be more. And worse. Firing up my Wyclef now.

“The elites” doing double sided work here. The consultants fucked up, but the DSCC also fucked up!

The Platner story shows how political consultants should not parachute into a state and pick a candidate. There were a bunch of solid Democratic candidates in the state. Maybe the elites don’t know better than the people who actually live in the state?

Dual boarding! Will I end up in Miami or Jacksonville?

I feel like a whole lot of people are going to take away the wrong things from Platner’s flameout.

They can still beat Belgium if Mike pence has the courage

Will never understand how a bunch of radical libs hellbent on overthrowing the existing government and building a new system from scratch somehow became conservative-coded. Happy Fourth. Go make the Founders proud: reject the status quo, fight the establishment, and bully tyrants.

Everyone’s enjoying the excommunication drama but there are also lessons for pro-democracy political actors. Decades of accommodating and appeasing this sect did not work and only emboldened them. You have to go whole hog. When you have power, break the back of the reactionaries. Shut them out

OH MY GOD GUYS okay so priests who want back in have to find a bishop willing to vouch for them, swear fealty to Vatican II and then HAND-WRITE THE POPE AN APOLOGY LETTER (I gues so he knows they didn’t use AI? 😂) and are on probation for 1-3 years this is ten times spicier than I even thought

My wife has figured out that the way to get me to do errands is just by gassing me up about how good I am at them

Love problematic email chains where it becomes increasingly obvious no one actually wants to do the thing (or needs to cover their ass when the thing doesn’t get done) because more people get looped in with every reply

Just put up Usain Bolt stats sprinting to make a connection at CLT. Annnnnnd the inbound flight hadn’t arrived

The 250th anniversary of America is exactly what I thought it would be: with America losing wars constantly and the president arresting you for disrespecting his pool

Unfortunately 48 hours after I had this done, I’m realizing I missed the opportunity to put “Pledge allegiance to your hand, your team, your vibes” on my back

Running into one of your doctors at the grocery store must be the adult version of seeing a teacher in the wild.

Hey campaigns don’t do this

if you see someone stealing diapers, no you didn’t.

Kohen Wiley, a 1-year-old child, is dead after a Mississippi police officer shot into a car and killed him. Family members say his mother was holding him in the passenger seat. The officers were responding to a shoplifting call over a box of diapers at the Senatobia Walmart.
