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?"

Just a note that @jbendery.bsky.social is 100% worth following. Always finds stories like these that matter, and yet are a bit under the radar.
Jen Bendery@jbendery.bsky.social · 6h agoFormer J6 federal prosecutors are begging senators -- mostly GOPers, but a handful of Dems are in there, too -- to stop confirming election deniers to lifetime federal courts seats. “Please stop poisoning our courts." www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...
Prepare for an insane explosion of Islamophobia between now and November, from the same people on the right (and center!) who pretend to be exercised by the rise in anti-Jewish bigotry. The hate will be off the charts and make the anti-Zohran campaign look tame. Mark my words.
Winning November begins now. These three won without a cent of corporate money. We must continue to support them. Donate to Abdul, Will, & Donavan: act.link/gi-S6cJzx?re...
El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
Call your Senators and let them know to BLOCK BLANCHE. He's coming for your reproductive rights.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

I could have sworn "stolen valor" was a thing Turns out it was just something else Republicans never actually gave a shit about Draft-dodging PoS
Trump flogs a book by “the highly respected Alan Dershowitz.” Maybe he says it that way so we’ll think it’s a different Alan Dershowitz from the one who was a lawyer for sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and admitted getting a massage at Epstein’s house but insisted, “I kept my underwear on.”
As predicted, Susan Collins comes out against Blanche. Don’t make too much of it. The R leadership okayed it b/c they have a vote to lose and b/c Collins in a tight race in Maine, in which Ds have won last several presidential elections. But they can’t lose another. All eyes on Cassidy and Murkowski
In Texas, Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare cleared the meeting room, silencing public opposition to the GOP plan to eliminate half of the battleground county’s Election Day voting locations before the midterms.
This is who the Repub led Senate wants to confirm as the US AG in the next couple days. It’s not about following laws—it’s about controlling women and girls with no regard to health outcomes. WE ARE NOT OUTRAGED ENOUGH! We need to flip 4 Senate seats. Please help get out the VOTE in NOV!
We are deciding whether we want to be a country of ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
Indivisible ❌👑@indivisible.org · 2d agoBREAKING — Another person died at Delaney Hall. The family of Edwin Lopez Cornejo (age 39) said he was not receiving the medications required to treat his diabetes, and blames his death on the lack of medical care (via USA Today). www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
Seriously, if elected officials are going to not just ignore but go against the will of the people, the people should remove those officials immediately.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
Every corporate media outlet in America covered the same motion regarding the Trumps and Capital One this weekend. Nobody opened what was underneath it. So—I did. This is a bigger scandal than we ever thought. Spread the word. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/twelve-day...

Capital One hasn’t released it. The Trumps’ own lawyers described it in a filing nobody read. Plus 25 states in court over the tariffs, and the nurse ICE picked the wrong fight with.

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4w agoA friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

Minnesota will stand as a firewall against any and all attacks on reproductive freedom. We were the first state to establish an ironclad right to abortion after the Dobbs decision and we will remain an island of freedom for those seeking to make their own healthcare decisions.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · yesterdayActing AG Todd Blanche plans to outlaw abortion nationwide: We're working to get solutions so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state. We're putting policies in place so that states can't do things like mail abortion drugs. We will have victory, and it will be permanent.
