@abdulelsayed.bsky.social triumphing over something like $60 million, $32-ish million of it AIPAC money, is not a "narrow" victory, it's a people's earthquake. This kind of spending is oligarchy in action, to smother democracy through its formal channels, and is getting normalized. Still he won.
Going in to fix just one more thing in my website. It's currently as generic as Susan Collins' concern, but it's gotta be ready soon. Pray for me.

Was doing a little research yesterday and just felt like sharing with anyone who doesn't know that 50+ PERCENT of South Carolina population were slaves post-1700s. Non-slaves were afraid and built structures to protect themselves. Believing systemic racism isn't in our political DNA is fantasy.

It's 2026. Why are killers still putting people's bodies in suitcases? It didn't even work for the Victorians who tried it.
I have zero opinions about who should be the 2028 nominee at this point (you have to finish your 2026 midterm before you can have dessert) but I am all for normalizing the idea that the fight needs to be about how many seats we're adding to SCOTUS and what channel we air the corruption trials on
