How you can help:

"Her legal team at MIRA Legal, as well as the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Coalition (TIRRC), are providing legal representation in the case"

I will match your donations to TIRRC.

Was gonna say, I'd be surprised if Tester was sitting there thinking "I can win, but not against Daines".

Jon Tester keeps it real: "I don’t believe that, as none of us were running. He fucked his own party"

You just passively assume that everyone is doing an okay-ish job with whatever resources they have until you learn about the number of wars and battles that were that were lost because one side’s commander forgot his soldiers needed air or whatever.

I'm also not gonna tell anyone how to live their lives, but it's worth pointing out that the point of a primary challenge isn't just to win, it's also to make it expensive, risky and unpleasant for the other guy to suck.

(complimentary, in case that wasn't clear)

Jesus Christ, Robert Picardo, take it easy on the rest of us.

for reference:

I'd break my piggy bank for that shit.

she was the minority chair in the georgia house, btw. not just anyone. there was a lot of anger in our community over her refusal to fight for trans kids, especially. other democrats should take note

Fuck yeah.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

We need candidates who fall firmly into “looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you” overlap.

lol

absolutely dying reading the press release. why is this so funny to me

Hear me out: parabolic reflector dish.

on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

We've cleared 1300 follows/reposts, we've cleared $5000 in donations, and we've cleared the total of $6251 from the last fundraiser for @51st.news .

Great work, and let's keep it going.

Donated this last week but didn't post it.

Excellent, thank you so much 🤝

The last time Russ did this, I subscribed to Bolts and am glad to have done so. Can't donate right now (wish I could, The 51st is very good) but I've done Repost, Follow, Follow. Help Russ empty his pockets while doing it for the good news.

We sure do!

P.S. hurry hard!

@burness.bsky.social is with the excellent @boltsmag.org, who I ran a fundraiser for not too long ago.

My current fundraiser is for @51st.news - see below.

Support nonprofit journalism!

Oh Lord.

Here's a little something special for you, @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

They're presumably also at least in part for not getting your planes shot down by air defense systems you provided to your allies?
