@kainewkirk.bsky.social’s race is coming up on July 21. I've known Kai for years, and he's always been on the right side. I'm excited to endorse Kai. His opponent voted for Laken Riley, voted against impeaching Trump, and his main donor is AIPAC. Donate to Kai: secure.actblue.com/donate/kai-n...

The state of Israel is interfering in our elections. I'm fighting back. #AZ04
I need to know what the locker room pep talk was and play it every morning for the rest of my life
Incredible. Apparently the state of Israel is paying Trump’s former campaign manager to run a likely illegal AI texting program to influence voters here in AZ CD 4. And it comes as my anti-genocide primary challenge to our Dem incumbent (whose top contributor is AIPAC) gains steam. Unacceptable.
Nomiki Konst@nomiki.bsky.social · 2mo agoAn AI text political persuasion program is targeting AZ-04 voters (D+4 district), funded by… the state of Israel and operated by Clock Tower X. Clock Tower is run by former Trump campaign manager, Brad Parscale. They refuse to say who funds them. And refer folks to the DOJ.

Before the autopsy, before NY’s IDC, Paul Rivera advised John Sampson. (Kids, there was a time when the hottest nightclub in Albany was..prison.) Which led to reforms and new leaders. Hey-maybe that’s Paul Rivera’s long game to get leftists in power! www.politico.com/news/2026/05...
DNC autopsy author was previously part of another Democratic humiliation
Paul Rivera served as a key adviser to a Senate Democratic leader who was convicted of corruption charges.

Thrilled for @kainewkirk.bsky.social’s endorsement by Bernie Sanders’ org! Let’s goooo!
Our Revolution@our-revolution.bsky.social · 3mo agoWe’re endorsing Kai Newkirk for Congress in AZ-04 — a longtime organizer taking on an AIPAC-backed incumbent. @kainewkirk.bsky.social co-founded Democracy Spring to challenge oligarch power, now he’s running on Medicare for All, ending ICE, housing, and ending U.S. support for genocide.
Campaign people - without naming names - let’s share with the NYT some of the wildest things you’ve witnessed a candidate do. Because clearly folks don’t get the culture
From day 1 of the campaign, @nicholsuprising.bsky.social has known and seen the path to victory. Please check out his latest in @thenation.com
John Nichols@nicholsuprising.bsky.social · 3mo agoMeet Chris Rabb: The AOC and Ro Khanna-backed congressional candidate who is determined to check and balance Donald Trump’s imperialism — and to reset budget priorities so that human needs are prioritized over bloated spending on the military-industrial complex.
As the right attempts to build a new world order, Spain’s Pedro Sanchez stepped up to elevate alliances and a bold vision at his Global Progressive Mobilisation. I wrote about the event in @thenation.com archive.ph/2026.05.12-1...

Might be hard for some of the (male) reporters to get but maybe @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social endorsed @lindseyboylan.bsky.social because it was the right thing to do. And maybe reporters could’ve sensed that Cuomo was going to obviously meddle with all his money and animosity, you know, 6 months ago?

Yeah it’s great that @TMZ is in DC and all but what the Hill really needs is a Fashion Police.

It should also be criminal that Eric Swalwell could use his donors’ money sitting in his old campaign coffers to hire lawyers and crisis comms folks to attack and smear survivors, allies, witnesses, journalists and media companies. He should return all of his donations.
Since Swalwell’s lawyers are spreading false claims and smears, let me make this clear. This was the Oct 2017 DNC meeting in which he attended. And there were witnesses.His lawyers are playing games with the press, sending legal letters and lumping many people’s comments together
Nomiki Konst@nomiki.bsky.social · 4mo agoOk just to show how insane this is I was aggressively hit on two separate times by Eric Swalwell (one after a DNC meeting at the hotel in front of a ton of notable folks) and one in my DMs. I don’t think he remembered me from the first time when he hit me up in DMs. (1/2)
The dorm-like culture in Washington breeds a dirty underworld that may expose more than just Swalwell… @nomiki.bsky.social
Why is the NY Times legitimizing Trump’s DOJ target of ActBlue? First they do a puff piece on Lauren Sanchez as the world is in crisis, then they publish hit pieces on @ActBlue -the mechanism nearly all Dems use to raise $ -when WinRed & Trump have THOUSANDS of complaints!!!
Hear me out: Pope Leo + Mayor Mamdani rally next week? Put it on Kalshi nerds
Free advice for Democratic leadership: since it’s clear you know everyone’s skeletons, why not torpedo a few Republicans in swing districts and win us the House and Senate before midterms, so we can put some checks and balances on this sociopath.
