I actually know nothing about Mallory McMorrow, but “Democrat who tries to shoot between the centrist and the leftist and ends up pulling 7% of the vote” is so clearly my jam that I have to assume I would have died for her.

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.
What can we learn from an NBC article reporting on the Wesley Bell/Cori Bush results that is arguably biased in favor of the latter? Nothing. Or better: we can learn not to cherrypick single articles to spin out widespanning grievances about media bias against "us" and in favor of "them".
It's Not ALWAYS a Conspiracy

Democrats endorsing the Democratic nominee as soon as they're nominated is good and more Democrats should do it more often. (Not that my "endorsement" matters, but AES absolutely has it and we should do everything we can to ensure he keeps Michigan's Senate seat in D hands this November).

I'm going to be brutally honest: watching people speedrun conspiratorial revisionism regarding COVID just five years after the pandemic killed one million Americans makes me understand how Holocaust denial took root in living memory of the death camps. It is the same basic sick instinct.

It’s wrong to say that AIPAC boxing out pols like McMorrow is a strategic error since AIPAC’s genuine loathing of liberal Zionism is as strong if not stronger than its aversion to AES types, but this should reiterate to other actors who don’t share that opposition that AIPAC is their nemesis too.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 16h agoPeople think I'm defending McMorrow but I am saying centrists bet Stevens was stronger and were clearly wrong
In approximately 1 hour, AIPAC is going to decide that the absolutely essential national bellwether race that determines the trajectory of our nation’s future is the MO-01 primary, and why is anyone talking about anything else?
Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.
I haven't "endorsed" in the MI-Sen primary (not that it would matter), but I can say without qualification that were I a Michigan voter I would vote for Stevens or El-Sayed in the general election, and do it without any hesitation.

Quick update on this -- now it seems that the entire feature where you can filter results to just hits from "last week" (or what have you) is broken. Yay Google!
David Schraub@schraubd.bsky.social · 3w agoCan someone presumably younger than me tell me what all the Facebook results are when you google my name (results that when you click on them don't actually seem to be about me or mention me in any way)? Yes, yes, I google myself, and yes, yes, I am old and technology now confuses and frightens me.
Remember: if any bad thing happens to anyone who's been critical of Israel, that is sufficient evidence to suggest that the bad thing is a secret Zionist plot.

Things that shouldn't need to be said but need to be said on BlueSky: It's bad when a bad roll out of the pied-a-terre tax ends up capturing folks who don't actually own pied-a-terres and can't get NYC's malfunctioning website not to charge them a 5-figure new tax on their primary residence.

This is despicable behavior, and really disappointing. AIPAC didn’t “buy” your election, Kat—they quite publicly opposed the guy who beat you.
