At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.
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.

He is stupid, he’s cruel, he’s ignorant, he’s bigoted, and i’m tired of being gaslit about him.
Sen. Bernie Moreno (paraphrased): On second thought, now that it's clear this is making me personally look awful, I say domestic abuse, lying about it, and failing basic standards of character like that has no place in the Republican Party, except at the top, and some other places too. Thank you.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 3d agosenator bernie moreno finally makes a statement about the allegations of abuse by rep. max miller against his daughter and granddaughter after miller went live on X this morning to deny everything.
He let his daughter get abused for years and said nothing

This is deadass every republican campaign ad here in the south. I'm not even REMOTELY JOKING.
A certain kind of 'progressive' leftist now just goes full '[n-word] [n-word] [n-word]' in their campaigning but for Jews and they need to be driven out of the party. We all saw what happened to Republicans when they let ppl like this hang around long enough.
I do have to ask, though: Given that local television is now just owned by national conglomerates with right-wing agendas, local papers have been stripped for parts, and everyone's increasingly getting their news from social media feeds (if at all), how much this matters?
jon ben-menachem@jbenmenachem.com · 5d agoAutopsies of Black Lives Matter and George Floyd protests often conclude that movements produced tough-on-crime backlash. My new study in Work and Occupations finds a different kind of movement outcome: BLM changed how local reporters cover cops and jails. 🧵 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Congrats on getting Hamas to say “okay fine, we’ll disarm after Israel totally withdraws” and Israel to say “okay fine, we’ll withdraw after Hamas totally disarms.” No one’s accomplished that before, better make it the top headline.
When decisions about candidate recruitment, who to find, etc , were going down last year... Who seriously thought that she would be a strong statewide candidate in Michigan, or anywhere, for that matter? I seriously have questions.

I agree on the merits, and he's probably right that he doesn't have the legal authority to order Netanyahu's arrest (not that the NYPD would follow that order anyway). That said, if a normie Dem came to the same conclusion, they'd be dragged non-stop about being a lackey to AIPAC and the police.

Was the World Cup crowd booing Trump? Tough to tell with how the music is drowning everything out and they're barely allowing any audio from the stadium bleed through.
Prime example of the media straight up lying in order to protect and sanitize Trump. Instead of just stating the facts- that Trump specifically pressured the Romanian government to release the sex trafficking Tate brothers, they offer up this utterly incoherent narrative. apnews.com/article/tate...
Kamala Harris doing a girl boss with Liz Cheney resulted in more white hot outrage from the Anti-War crowd than this ever will.
Thw reason that American democracy is in the absolute shit state that it's in is because media organizations, both large and small, will swallow whatever deranged shit that the right spews and present a digested, same washed version to the masses.
I don't think it's self-inflicted for the simple reason that the surge in Canadian nationalism was directly triggered by the head of state of our largest ally threatening to annex us and inflicting brutal economic damage, only for many Americans to openly regard the whole thing as a joke.

This is footage of ICE handcuffing a 26 year old father after murdering him in broad daylight. We cannot look away. Abolish ICE. Abolish qualified immunity. Hold these murderous thugs accountable.
WHOA indeed. DHS is *not* saying that the officer feared for his life. That is VERY notable in comparison to other shootings.
David J. Bier@davidjbier.bsky.social · 3w agoWHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?
ICE murders someone, gets caught joking about it, nothing happens to anyone involved. I worry that the sheer grim repetition is having the desired numbing effect on the media and politicians.
As with many elected officials I protected for nearly 2 decades as an officer, my interactions with him were limited, I do remember when he and I were alone in a elevator and he pretended he didn’t know who I was after my Jan 6 testimony. I will never forget his betrayal to me and my colleagues.
