FUCK ICE If you’re still blaming kids for what your leaders did, kindly fuck off. 🏳️⚧️ 🇵🇸
please keep khive in your thoughts during these trying times 🙏💙
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 12h agoVice President Kamala Harris endorses Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate in Michigan. “This was a hard-fought Democratic primary, and Michiganders were lucky to have such inspiring leaders step up in this moment.”
Shameless plug since Abdul’s team hasn’t uploaded it here— posted on July 24th
Cao Cao Power Hour Enthusiast@statsboyandi.bsky.social · 2d agoOne reason I’m not terribly worried about the Michigan race is this is a very easy slam dunk for Public Health expert El-Sayed to make the general election about. And if he can’t hit that? Well that’s on him.
In the US, every pharmacy has whole aisles of supplements of various kinds. Not a *single item* of which is FDA regulated except for any OTC pre-natal vitamins. This is because the snake oil industry is 4x larger than the whole pharmaceutical industry.
Pookleblinky@pookleblinky.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe global wellness industry, at $6.2 trillion a year, is 4x larger than the global pharmaceutical industry, to give some perspective for why the only supplements that *are* FDA regulated are pre-natal vitamins.
More than half of young adult women who grew up as Latter-day Saints have now left the church. Many are reacting against politics, purity culture and powerlessness.

Every fucking day RFK is out there shilling some kind of snake oil, promoting something you'd only see in a weird online dick pill ad. And those weird online dick pill companies are a vastly bigger industry than, say, Pfizer.
"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."

ngl @kenjennings.bsky.social this sucks on several levels & idk if you realize the attention you brought to an innocuous post (that never even hurt you!) has led to an onslaught of harassment of a trans woman & nothing in your statement acknowledges this.
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
@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.
Voters decided to push a transgender candidate through a House primary, oust a Detroit House incumbent, and shun a Whitmer-endorsed west Michigan candidate.

NEW: Dozens of ads containing video and other child sexual abuse material ran across Meta’s social media platforms, including some as recently as yesterday. @mattburgess1.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/meta-r...
Meta Ran Ads That Contained AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery
More than 50 offending image and video ads were published across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or Threads, according to Meta’s ad library data. Some ran as recently as this week.

Note to the media: El Sayed isn't running against the Democratic 'establishment' he's running against Mike Rogers. Spend a little more time covering that race and put this manufactured party crisis crap in the rear view mirror.
A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.
Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers
The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 15h agoWolf Blitzer: Why is Israel, another country, your red line right now, this is what your critics are saying, rather than a domestic issue that impacts Americans' everyday lives? John Fetterman, visibly confused throughout the entire interview: Yeah, absolutely.
Abdul El-Sayed’s win represents a big blow to the politics of bygone days. Because if one campaign can show that *that* much money and *that* much old guard support doesn’t guarantee victory, it cracks open what can be imagined. It widens the aperture of what’s possible.
Will This Be AIPAC’s Biggest Defeat – Ever?
Prem was on hand in Michigan to witness the nail-biter between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, which appears to have gone down as an astonishing failure for AIPAC.

You could say Abdul El-Sayed won despite $64 million being spent against him… one may also wonder if he won *because* of it
Did you think AIPAC was gonna keep shoveling millions of $s behind her in the general? She lost. Get over it and “Vote blue no matter who”
This is how it works. Vote blue no matter who goes in one direction.
Jay@raoulduke1976.bsky.social · 17h agoShe lost. If she’d have squeaked out a win it woulda been a total rebuke of progressive politics.
"We will continue to do nothing regarding material conditions" hasn't been winning for years now so maybe it's time for something different
“When John Rocker spoke his truth about hating the Jews, he was met with nothing but scorn and derision. What does that say about us as a society?”
She lost. If she’d have squeaked out a win it woulda been a total rebuke of progressive politics.
