@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.
Abdul El-Sayed has won, NBC News says. And there are other wins for the left in Michigan: —William Lawrence wins his U.S. House primary. —A DSA-backed candidate is leading a Democratic incumbent for state House. —Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of Uncommitted, leads for state Senate.
This is not a joke. This is a screenshot of the actual case management software used by Massachusetts' 11 District Attorneys. Must-read work here by @nasser.wiki nasser.blog/dial-up-just...
I am very close with someone who was in medical school (same class) with Abdul and they say Abdul has always been this person: deeply committed to fixing medicine and our healthcare system, extremely impressive, serious, and smart. Michigan is sending their best.
Congratulations to all the people who pissed tens of millions of dollars down the toilet

The lefty won: why this means America is moving to the right
A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · 8h agoThe media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.
I find it so funny that men who hate and fear women are obsessed with the fact that men generally run faster, jump higher, lift more than women. Like congrats bro your gender is better at games. Good for you. Women will handle managing society, medicine, law, government while you play w your balls.
“A press release says an officer noted there had been no recent activity on the cameras, and when they went to check them, they found the poles they were on cut down, and the cameras gone. Police report finding the poles in nearby weeds, but the cameras were removed.” Lol
FOX 9@fox9mn.bsky.social · 22h agoEight Flock cameras stolen throughout Winona have authorities asking the public's help getting them back.
Finally saw I LOVE BOOSTERS last night. Highlights: incredible costuming and gags, love the TV news man on the street bit, great cast. Low point for me was the end. Really? That’s it? I was imagining something much more profound than that.
New from me on the importance of private enforcement in Massachusetts' soon-coming consumer data privacy law. commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/data...
Data privacy bill must have real teeth
We can end Big Tech’s abuses — but only if we have the courage to stand up to the tech oligarchs and maintain the strong standards of our consumer protection law when it comes to enforcing our data pr...

It's a public records LAW, not a public records SUGGESTION. But here we have a "law enforcement" agency routinely violating the law, flouting the will of the people. Towards what end? Hiding their activities from the public and from criminal defendants. Shameful. www.masslive.com/news/2026/08...

I can’t get over the New York Times running a piece about “what we lose” when we stop drinking alcohol. The bourbon industry will survive because there’s enough sadness and trauma in the world to keep people drinking for some time, I’m afraid.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Reading the new history of Watergate by @vermontgmg.bsky.social. He reports the plumbers proposed lacing Dan Ellsberg’s soup with LSD at a gala to try to discredit him. Nixon approved of the plot but not in time for them to execute it.
NEW: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's demand for Illinois voters' sensitive data. The DOJ is now 0 for 19 — and counting.
Having a puppy is great. She brings so much joy into my life. Also: Everything around me vaguely smells like pee.
Another data center approved on public lands. This 86-acre Townsite data center is next to Lake Mead, which supplies 90% of the water used by 2.3 million people in Nevada. Not only does it threaten to contaminate the existing water, but will also drain the falling water table that has dropped 160 ft
Jenn@jennburrill.bsky.social · last wk.🚨 BLM fast tracked putting private data center on public land in Nevada 🚨 Skylar Capital Mgt's 167-megawatt data center approved by the Bureau of Land Mgt in June through an unorthodox procedure avoiding any environmental review or public comment. It's the 1st data center ever on public lands
