some specific democrats suck and they suck in ways that are detrimental to issues that you personally care about you know how you solve that once we are past the primaries? you elect even more democrats so that their votes are less important joe manchin couldn’t have done as much damage as vote 52

William Lawrence, a grass-roots organizer and climate activist, defeated two moderate candidates in the Democratic primary for a battleground House district in Michigan on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, scoring another victory for the party’s progressive wing.
👇🎯 Seeing this here in WI, where the choice (as everywhere) is No More Far Right Authoritarianism vs Yes More Far Right Authoritarianism, & so many folks are driving themselves crazy over parsing policy platforms & positions on stuff a WI Governor has literally zero power to do anything about.
The best thing about Vote Blue No Matter Who is that it unloads a lot of cognitive burden. I wanted Tom Steyer to be in the Governor's race, but he's not so I'm gonna vote for Becerra. I don't follow his campaign at all: I'm voting for him because he's not a Republican.
Teach your children ‘democrats are not always good, but republicans ARE always bad’ and in 2026 you’ve covered like 90% of their practical civic education wrt voting.

Great to see @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social do the classy thing. This is the way!
Mallory McMorrow endorses Abdul El Sayed minutes after NBC call
Really happy with this. This is a nailbiter district. Lawrence will need all our support!
I couldn’t be prouder of the movement we’ve built in mid-Michigan. Thank you, Ambassador Bridget Brink and Matt Maasdam, for your years of public service and all your hard work on the campaign trail. While tonight we celebrate, there’s still much more work ahead.
Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe
anya taylor-joy says women don't method act because we have things to take care of and can't lose our minds or be assholes
Anyone following #MI07? How's William Lawrence doing?

We're voting so Blue, folks. Everybody said it couldn't be done. They're saying it's no matter who.
i support [$democratic_candidate] for [$public_office] and believe that their politics is a perfect fit for [$state]. I would drag my [$genital] over [$harmful_object_or_substance] to vote for [$democratic_candidate] this fall.
Abdul El Sayed's open-mindedness on the question of how to actually resolve the question of Palestine is one of the best indicators of his overall intelligence and sincerity. Policymakers in DC should adopt a rights-based approach which prioritizes ending the occupation and apartheid systems.
El-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike... If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...
I put together a timeline of the major Trump initiatives on the immigration/concentration camp front since January 2025—including many of the ways those plans have been thwarted—and looked ahead at what to expect in the coming months.

Liberalism and socialism both have theoretical resources supporting open borders. In my view it's impossible to construct liberalism with closed borders without contradiction or biting bullets.
This is especially true on the left or left liberal end where a lot of people have fried their own brains on a litany of bigotries in order to justify being for the idea of the border regime, something that is younger than modern liberalism or republicanism and arguably younger than Marxism.
I am for open borders. I am for freedom of movement for all. #AbolishICE #AbolishFrontex
It is pretty sad that so few people actually believe in open borders
Gillibrand is fucking nuts and it makes me so sad. She was my favorite early in the 2020 primary. Dodged a bullet there, I guess.
Is Gillibrand on crack? Why was she telling donors, without a shred of evidence, that Mallory McMorrow is a DSA member???
And here he is staring pretty unequivocally that he sees aid to Ukraine as different from aid to Israel (or Egypt), so please update your priors or fuck off with claims to the contrary.
