There is one member of this family who is unambiguously the descendant of Joseph Kennedy Sr. and I mean that in the most condemnatory way possible.

I voted early and enthusiastically for @hawkkoh.bsky.social I’ve had some people ask about why. He proactively stands up for trans kids. He will vote to expand the Supreme Court. And he is committed to labor rights and the labor movement in a way few DC politicians are.

The challenges ahead include defeating fascism and defeating the billionaires so AI can work for us. That is going to take a diversity of tactics. Dan’s tactics are different than mine, but they will empower labor in the coming fights.

He and I have very different styles of politics. His skills are in a different domain than mine. But that doesn’t make them wrong. The question is always, what do we do with the tools we have?

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

Like, there are right wing election geeks! Most of them are not exactly photogenic but you could probably find one who is. But instead of analyzing the election this is going to be talking about the DSA for 4 hours.

big failure from the NBA to not get two of its teams to move one (1) regular season game. the NBA owns 42% of the WNBA (functionally more, since a lot of NBA owners own teams) and should be invested in wanting the league to grow, even at minor expense to its more popular product

BREAKING: Game 6 of the WNBA Finals will be held Thursday at 12:30pm ET at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, sources told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. It will be a double-header with the Atlanta Hawks’ game, which will be moved to 8pm.

Every clip I see about Bauza is so heartbreaking, he seems like such an amazing dude. Also, we gotta bring back using voice actors for animated shows and not just celebrities looking for an easy buck.

While everyone knows that there's an M and a B hidden in the Brewers logo, most people don't realize that there's a T and a B hidden in Tropicana Field. That's right, Ron DeSantis brought tuberculosis back to Florida.

tbh this seems like one of the basic problems with the “caucus” system, since any two people being able to declare themselves a caucus and being speaking as “part of the organization” is a completely insane way to run a political organization

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

Something that stood out to me when I was in Greensboro, how many Black women were conscientious of their grandparents' role in fighting for their right to vote. "Ancestors have fought for this right, and so it’s my duty to do it," one of them said thepoliticalspectrum.substack.com/p/theyre-att...

If RCV had been tabulated she'd have won by about 4-5 in 2020 Take a D+10 this year, even the bearish polls show the Democratic crossover for her is gone, independents look much better, GOP turnout is at risk perhaps, Troy only needs about a 5 point swing as Pingree carries, I think he's got it

How are you feeling about Maine? Republicans are washed but Collins has cockroached again and again and… again, now?

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.
