ossoff ended up voting against it (thank goodness)

as much as i wish it so, i don't think an ossoff primary is viable for GA rn. ossoff and warnock won in the heat of the trump scandals and have been riding on incumbancy ever since. i think a primary could very well cause a seat flip (this is coming from a lifelong Georgian)

Important lesson

Post 2024 polls show Harris campaigning with Cheney decreased enthusiasm by 7%

Post 2025 polls show Mamdani running as unapologetic progressive earned him 9% of MAGA 2024 voters

Corporate Dems: You dont flip votes by compromising your values—but by unapologetically embracing them

HOLY SHIT @samformarietta.bsky.social IS AHEAD

it's razor thin but i have hope!!

LFG!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
change is on the horrizon!

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

that's awesome! looking forward to watching it :)

for reference:

this is random but @north0fnorth.tgirl.gay are u in the trailer for wendover productions' docuseries "scav"? i swear a person in the trailer looked just like you

Stonehinge, apparently

have we learned nothing from wall-e 🤨

@nickandert.bsky.social thoughts on this? do their final recommendations stack up to what you mentioned in your video in june, besides the inter-gency coordination?

Cancel Culture is moreso a liberal thing than a true progressive thing tbh. Like think about the people who supported Hillary Cilton vs the people who support Zohran - which do you think are more likely to focus on identity politics rather than the one issue that unites us all, classism?

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

wait he DIED?

apple's mortal enemy fr

i may complain about capitalism a lot but i still get hyped up to watch the apple event every year like it's the superbowl #AppleEvent

Those willing, by contrast, to trade away the rights and dignity of transgender people or the poor cannot be considered friends of democracy any more than those who were willing to countenance second-class status for blacks and Jews.

it seems like at this point, it's probably best to push hard for cut&cover on phases 2 and 3, and not really push for phase 1, no?
as much as i'd like to see them all, i fear that pushing for phase 1 would make the whole idea seem less viable (esp with the possibly sooner timeframe)

I don't care what we have to do but if you support Hakeem Jeffries becoming the next Speaker you are not serious about fighting fascism

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

"Good fucking riddance," Lander says of Andrew Cuomo, who was trailing behind Zohran Mamdani tonight

@nerd4cities.bsky.social you seen this? 😭

what does this mean 😭😭

i think bread bowls are one of the greatest inventions of mankind

@davidimel.com

real. yeah i noticed you had a rail line going there in your full region proposal video, but presumably that'd be pretty far in the future.

upgraded bus lanes are good. and i'm not totally opposed to a gondola - even if it's a bit touristy, at least it's getting people out of their cars

@nickandert.bsky.social thoughts on this?

imo: a direct connection between Union and the stadium is good given their proximity, and a gondola is a relatively cheap way to do it. but gondola's have terrible capacity, which is rough when you're trying to connect to a stadium.
