This is our KPD/SPD moment, if the centrists can't stand with the left against this it's all over.
I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

@janetmillsforme.bsky.social would you care to explain why you disagree with Obama on winning the Senate?
Honored to have President Obama standing with us in this fight. This campaign is about working people taking their power back — and building a government that works for them. Now let’s finish the job. Get out and vote.
Gavin Newsom doesn't always destroy labor unions, but when he does it's to empower fascist capital owners.
It's because disenfranchisement of prisoners is a remnant of Jim Crow, both as a means of preventing black people from voting but also corralling us into districts where our population gives them congressional representation without our input.
This take actually seems pretty popular on Bluesky but I don't think anyone living in a coercive environment like prison has the ability to cast a free and fair ballot.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:
As much as I think the 2028 primary will be a referendum on issues like Israel/Palestine, universal welfare policies, etc. the fact of the matter is if some centrist comes along promising to throw Trump and everyone within 3 degrees of separation from him in prison they're handidly winning it.
should be instructive for democrats that Magyar is living up to his promise to prosecute Orban officials for corruption and is continuing to poll extremely highly

At this point, with the AI companies admitting they cannot always predict or control the products, the default should be that the user and company are jointly and severally strictly liable for harms to third parties.
