This is the story of three candidates fighting against the rich and powerful for a brighter future.
"What I hear is people are fed up. They're ready for change. And they don't feel that either party has been representing their interests in D.C. I believe that the status quo is an electability risk at a time when people are hungry for change." www.npr.org/2026/08/03/n...
Progressive candidates' primary wins stir debate about midterm electability
There are several races in midwestern states where progressive candidates appear to be leading in the Democratic primaries. A debate is raging about electability in the general election this fall.

“Haley Stevens was not endorsed by Obama. Every day Northwest Detroit gets FLOODED with pics of her with Black people, at Black churches… where was she all this other time? We haven’t seen her… She voted for the genocide in Gaza.”
This is probably the best explanation of supporting trans people in sports I’ve ever heard. Personally I think sex segregated sports is kind of a dumb concept. I’d like to see a league that just lets everyone play.

I gotta say I never thought I’d say thanks for the memories Patrick Kane but thanks for the memories Patrick Kane. Also fuck the Blackhawks. 🫡

This Sunday, @sanders.senate.gov, @aoc.bsky.social, and @abdulelsayed.bsky.social are joining me for a rally and our biggest canvass yet. We're building a movement to prove working people can take on DC insiders, Big Tech, and billionaires and win. Doors open 9:30am. Canvass kicks off at 2pm.
The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply
Hmm it’s almost like the people who actually live in the district know the attacks were BS. His opponents also are rich and white and have never lifted a finger for this district.
David Dayen@ddayen.bsky.social · 3w agoRemarks on a podcast about Black establishment politicians who "defang the white left" were supposed to sink Will Lawrence. They were picked up for a radio ad from the CBC's PAC. But then something happened: local Black leaders defended him and said he was spot on. prospect.org/2026/07/17/c...
Ted Lindsey’s tenure as an executive wasn’t very good either. Time heals wounds and Yzerman will most certainly will be cherished as a player for the organization going forward. It’s disappointing it didn’t work out, we all had high hopes when he came in. Just didn’t pan out.
Burn that athletic dept to the ground! Lack of institutional control, they knew about it and did nothing and actively covered it up. Strip the wins, strip the titles, recruiting limits NOW!! I fucking KNEW there was more to the story. Fuck Michigan

Wouldn’t surprise me if Lindsey Graham did enough coke post bombing of Iran that his old corrupt heart just couldn’t take it anymore. Listen to his interviews, he was so crazy when the bombing started like he was high out of his mind.
ICE agents must be tried for the murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.
Jennie Coughlin@jenniecoughlin.bsky.social · 4w agoFederal immigration agents who killed a man during a traffic stop in Houston on Tuesday had been searching for a different person, according to a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman.
Huge turnout tonight for a protest over ICE killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on Tuesday Magnolia Park, Houston. Video is from my colleague Macy Meinhardt, who is not on Bluesky but is on the scene.
Turn Left PAC is proud to endorse Kyle Blomquist for MI-01. Kyle is exactly the kind of fighter we need more of in Washington: people-powered, rooted in their community, and ready to take on the political establishment on behalf of working families.
This is the brief you file if you are laser focused on avoiding transparency and accountability.
Jon Seidel@jonseidel.bsky.social · 4w agoThe feds just made it official: They won't fight a bid by members of the "Broadview 6" for attorneys' fees. They do "not concede that the United States has acted or done anything to warrant those fees." They also say there should be no discovery. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/dc/d1/e34a37...
The Platner stuff is really really shitty. Part of me wants to say fuck it and just ride or die with him like the republicans do all the time with their candidates. But it’d be really hypocritical to be the party of protecting women and support this dude(if it’s true). It just sucks.
Practice run for AI trump after he’s gone. They’re going to try folks, I’m calling it now.
Ana Marie Cox@anamariecox.com · 4w agoWas going to say something about Scott Jennings being fooled by an AI generated McConnell but it's far more likely he's just lying.
It’s hard to not feel so doomsday about videos like this. Like we’re being led by these maniacs, I don’t even know why they wear masks. The crazy part about this country is July 5th you could have an immigrant parade and those same officers would have to protect them from Patriot Front. #1A
