I'm digging...

This is why Democratic electees are 25 years older than the average American. We need people from different backgrounds than just politics. AOC is one example. The party needs fresh new faces (which MM qualifies for too, imo).

"Ran on policies that are popular and won." Medicare 4 All is popular. As I said many comments ago, I go back and forth between MM and Abdul. I think she's more approachable. I don't vote for who's most electable in primaries because you can't predict the future.

They still said he couldn't win on his policies and he did. If you remember, Bernie won the primary here. Michigan is not reflexively opposed to progressives.

Federal Judges Can Barely Conceal Their Disgust For the Trump Administration’s Lawlessness When federal judges are appending Bible verses to their signature blocks, that is generally a sign that democracy is not in a good place.

Federal judges are literally calling the Trump administration an affront to the laws of man and God

The admin thinks this is evidence of the judiciary's bias, but what it perceives as open hostility from judges is an objective response to open authoritarianism

We don't have to pre-dimiss his ideas, particularly when Mamdani has been so successful with things that were considered impossible. Having said that, his ads strike me as too "slick", for lack of a better term.

So crazy. I can drive with it, but I can't vote with it.

BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

I think I still qualify, but I got a Real ID because they required it for travel. Now I have to pay for another ID?

I'll have to look that up and try to get a follow-up (as a nobody) from her on that.

My first time using Instagram, I got recommended a bevy of young, beautiful women. Too bad I'm not into women. I haven't used Threads.

I like @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social, too. I go back and forth between the two.

I already wasn't voting for her in the primaries. You BNMW folks won't like what I do in the general if she gets the nom.

Stevens also seemed generally impressed with the staff during the visit and their treatment of detainees. “Of note, there is female leadership here, and there are women who walked with us today and explained, on the intake process, how important it is to treat people with humanity,” Stevens said. “And that obviously really stuck out to me, because some of the things that we are witnessing before our eyes, in our neighborhoods, in our streets, is really a lack of humanity.” Both congresswomen did note, however, that at least one individual who they spoke to expressed a fear of punishment or retribution for sharing his concerns about the facility — though they attempted to speak with him privately, they were denied that opportunity. Stevens noted that she plans to remain in touch with that person’s family in Macomb County to ensure he is not punished for speaking with the congresswomen. “He was kept for several weeks in what everyone there refers to as ‘the hole,’ which is similar to a solitary confinement,” Scholten said of the same detainee. “He spoke of being kept in a freezing room where he couldn’t feel his toes and having his food just thrown into his cell. So these are things that we really need to take seriously.”

How is this even possible? Rep. Haley Stevens, who is running for #MISen, "seemed generally impressed with the staff" at an ICE detention facility, per the @michiganadvance.com.

At the same event, Rep. Hillary Scholten spoke of a man "being kept in a freezing room where he couldn’t feel his toes."

We can't use that word. Not because they aren't Nazis, but because so many people don't want to be called out for their actions.

Vote NO on the SAVE act. Immigrants are already banned from voting and there's virtually no fraud to speak of. It's a poll tax.

We could declare a housing emergency. We could make health care make sense. But the federal government is not doing those things, and people are not happy.

A paid actor? Are you paying her Elon?

Cruel and inhumane treatment by prisons is illegal under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. This includes practices that violate the dignity and basic rights of incarcerated individuals.

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.

Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.

This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

Not all states allow excuseless vote my mail. It's wildly successful and safe, but Trump and Republicans want to take it away and are lying to do so.

People talk about marijuana making you lazy. For me, it makes me focus on one thing. I can ONLY focus on one thing but I'm productive at it. :P

"Demurely". LOL

Limiting location sharing on your devices is a great first step to protect yourself against prying eyes.

Today we mourn the loss of a great community organizer and an icon of the civil rights movement.
Jackson's Rainbow Coalition was one of the few bright spots for left-wing politics in the 1980's and showed that there was an appetite for socialist politics and organizing in the Unites States.

I just discovered Schitts Creek. I know I'm behind the times, but it is great.

New lie (wages) same as the old lie (immigrants actually commit less crime than Americans).
