"Doing this drama nonsense, where everything is about James Talarico being a white man and Jasmine Crockett being a black woman? It's not helping anybody. It's not good." @timmiller.bsky.social's message for Texas candidates, from today's Bulwark Podcast:

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

Don’t fall for Jasmine Crockett…vote Talarico, he’s better on policy and a better candidate

Interesting, so interesting

Corporate media never fails to disappoint…shame what CBS will be turned into

Kamala Harris is a tremendously bad politician…it’s kinda stunning

Effete liberals like the Pod Bros and Ezra Klein aren’t gonna effectively combat fascism…ppl like Mamdani and AOC and Bernie will

This bears repeating on this app: Gavin Newsom is not your friend. He will suck the blood out of your grandmother if it means winning suburban Richmond in a presidential election. He’s a creep.

Apparently I was a monster for suggesting that Gavin still sucks

I think Muriel Bowser is undermining every mayor and governor fighting the regime's occupations. It's real bad. badfaithtimes.com/you-cant-fla...

The number of people who told me last year that ‘it can’t get any worse for Gaza.’ But it always could get worse, things can always get worse- and they have. We are now witnessing an official, full-blown, US-approved famine in Gaza. Shameful.

Mayor Pete, what can you say about Israel's ongoing assassination of journalists? Pete Buttigieg: I think that that's a profound question that arouses a lot of the biggest problems that have happened with Israel's survival, Israel's right to survival, in the diplomatic scene.

pete coming out as a member of the lgb alliance

Correct. Pete is off my list. Period.

Yeah, I'm never voting for Buttigieg even if he's the nominee. This is a bright line for me. You cave on trans issues and lend credence to bigots, it's over. I'm not letting the Dems go down the path of Labour. www.them.us/story/pete-b...

Kristen Gillibrand smh…terrible blue state Democrat

I think Jasmine Crockett’s heart is in the right place…but she says a lot of stupid shit

Bluesky at its core is millions of elder millennials who have advice for Democrats after watching them getting their asses beat for a quarter century and having to live with the consequences

Abusers never take no for an answer. nypost.com/2025/07/13/u...

This is a really smart read from @benmathislilley.bsky.social - the only thing I’d emphasize more is that candidates have agency! The more we can get people running who have strong values systems, the more they can take consultants as advisors, not directors. slate.com/news-and-pol...

God forbid Dean Phillips feels alienated in the Democratic coalition…fix this asap

Sending thoughts and prayers tonight to Matt Yglesias, Jonathan Chait, Ritchie Torres, Charlie Kirk, Libs of TikTok, and many more.

Head Start, an early childhood education program for low income families, is on the chopping block. Growing up, my own mom was an aide with the program; it’s helped countless young mothers, including the one who tells her story here. www.kqed.org/news/1203596...

The following are the next Manchinemas and will block any progressive legislation pursued by the next Dem President: @johnfetterman.com @gallego.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov

Some of the younger Democrats (Slotkin, Elissa) are the most stuck in 1990s poll-centered blah-ism. And some of the party's oldest figures are doing multi-city tours and using the right language (oligarchy) for these times.

Didn’t have Gretchen Whitmer and Gavin Newsom tanking their ‘28 chances before mid-April of 2025…but here we are

Seen enough of Howard Lutnick, thank you! No more of that guy is needed at this time. If I need some more I will simply go to Oyster Bay, find the most expensive restaurant, and look for the person who is being the most obnoxious to the servers. Do not need additional exposure at this time.

Depressing how many libs on this site take @ritchietorres.bsky.social in light of collaborating with the Trump admin to disappear critics of Israel

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred. As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Obama slander will hereby be banned on BlueSky

There's a whole tier of Democratic politicians who think the way to solve fascism is to say stuff you would have said eight years ago, but with a curse word in it.

Andrew Cuomo is running for Eric Adams’ second term.

I might get blasted into oblivion for this but…Tim Walz is out there and doing town halls and fighting, despite being a Governor and the VP nom months ago. Meanwhile, Harris was VP and ran for Pres…and she’s just tuned out rn. She’s just drinking wine in Cali…kinda disqualifying IMO.

A typical human story. Acceptance of abuse invites more abuse, even if retaliation can be costly. People are warier of people who hit back.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

In the latest assault on First Amendment rights, Columbia University has expelled and fired Grant Miner, President of UAW Local 2710, which represents thousands of Columbia student workers. The firing comes one day before contract negotiations were set to open with the University.

I'll be supporting a primary challenge against Chuck Schumer. Time for him to go.

A lot of prominent Democrats seem to think the 2024 election marked the end of American politics. They're wrong. bad-faith-times.ghost.io/todays-polit...

If the Democrats can't bring themselves to say "government spending is good, actually" in this precise moment, then they really are cooked and all need to be replaced.

Classic cover from the Pittsburgh City Paper this morning

Democrats should embrace tariffs as one part of a broader industrial strategy to revitalize 🇺🇸 manufacturing and make whole communities hollowed out by bad trade policy. This isn’t just about making the economy work for more people; it’s about earning back trust and faith.

If you oppose all tariffs, you’re signaling that you’re comfortable with exploited foreign workers making your stuff at the expense of American workers. I’m not and neither are most voters.

DeLuzio is right…if you think otherwise as a “progressive” then you’ve been indoctrinated by neoliberal bs
