Kiros now ahead 49-43 and probably gets a majority when this is all over

it's going to rule when he gets denied communion

I swear I hadn't seen this when I made this post 19thnews.org/2026/06/colo...

Hickenlooper is going to be an embarrassing miss but if we need to make up for it might I suggest his colleague who is currently getting his ass handed to him in the gov primary

Since Perry was the sitting governor when Hutchison lost, I think it is fair to say that a sitting Senator has never lost a gubernatorial primary for an open seat, at least in the last 100 years.

How do you have less grace than fucking Dan Goldman or Espaillat

girl, concede

People are going to work overtime to try to downplay Melat's victory today, so let me tell you: we spoke for the first time a year ago. When we did, I asked her point blank why she was running. DeGette seemed inoffensive enough (WOW have her ads this cycle disproved that). Melat had no chance. Why?

Not only is it a skill issue but "You need to work within the system and within the Party" is what the people freaking out about this have explicitly been telling critics to do for decades. I guess they didn't mean it, didn't think anyone would try, or were confident it couldn't work.

I’d take a million Chinese birth tourists over losers like you

And if you fuckers will donate, we'll get @beth4ma.bsky.social too.

Another Democratic Socialist is going to Congress! Congratulations to DSA member @melatkirosco.bsky.social! Congresswoman Kiros will take the fight for a better world to D.C: to Abolish ICE, free Palestine, and win Universal Childcare and Medicare for All.

just in Trump 2 for starters

Marie Pinkney for Senate let's go

next update brings Kiros up to 48.6-44.1, small-ish but lefty update. it's over. Melat Kiros will be the next representative for Denver.

Bird was running to join the Blue Dogs in the ur-swing district and primary voters said get fuckin lost

Melat Kiros leads Diana DeGette 47-45 with nearly 100,000 votes in, and things should move her way as the night goes on. I think she wins.

The ladies on TikTok should say they don't fuck gamblers. Should become a requirement on dating profiles, too.

When Ezra Klein had Ta-Nehisi Coates on to discuss his book about Palestine, Klein basically called him an extremist and obliquely referred to Tareq Baconi as a terrorism-supporter, and then a year and a half later Klein is now saying exactly what Coates said but acting like it's his original ideas.

this would prob be well-received by actual litigators too, because the federal courts move excruciatingly slowly and only get away with it because in a lot of major jurisdictions (read: New York) they are still somehow faster, more predictable, and more transparent than the state court system

I think this case is one where—paradoxically—the larger the reform, the more moderate it appears. A small change to just the Supreme Court is much more easily dismissed as a partisan power grab.

This sick fuck lives in NYC, and I just don't understand how anyone can go outside every day and see the children playing and respond with this kind of vitriol, and I simply reject the values of any society or philosophy or ideology that cannot condemn that unreservedly.

imagining a grizzled hardboiled detective saying this while gripping some guy's lapels at a shady bar

this now presumably means there will be a caucus of no fewer than *16* DSA members in the next NY state legislature (out of 213 total seats, a full 7.5% of the legislature)

The fact that libs of TikTok is posting this kind of shit about literal 7 year old girls genuinely terrifies me. The right has been aggressively accelerating the eliminationist rhetoric over even just the last few weeks.

yesterday was the busiest day of Denver returns to date by far, beating the previous busiest day by 105%. today's turnout has already blown past yesterday's as of 1:55 PM Denver time

[guy who just learned what the Nicene Creed is seeing a second statement of beliefs] getting big Nicene Creed vibes off this

Frankly I expect way better from my demsocs than I do from Schumer or Jeffries. Bring back the socialist rhetoric we saw from 2017 to 2021 where we were talking about anything being on the table including curtailing the scope of judicial review.

I know we feel the need from left to center left to take the wins where we get them but a 5-4 decision on the literal plain text of the Constitution is absurd and this means we have to cripple the court, permanently, period, end of story.

Weak statement and especially so from a proud democratic socialist who is part of an organization that champions the idea of permanently curbing Court power

the narrowest DSA race in New York State was upstate, in Syracuse, where it's now official that socialist county legislator Mo Brown has unseated longtime Asm. Bill Magnarelli

Ben Franklin loading a mag into an AR-15: Point me to this "Oktoberfest"

if she also wins, Melat Kiros and Darializa Avila Chevalier are going to convince so many leftist PhD students that they should also run for Congress (they should not)

Burdening the public with one’s private ailments, if presented without sufficient decorum, is a disadvantageous way to become the talk of the salon

The fact that FOUR sitting Supreme Court justices were willing to greenlight Trump's racist attack on the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship is a national embarrassment. Tear down the institution, it is beyond saving.

[several loud incorrect buzzer noises in quick succession, really just a sudden cacophony of BZZZZT BZBZBZBZBZZTBZZZT]

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...

This is such dumbshit messaging. Both practically and politically it’s an unamerican blight on our political history that 3/4 Supreme Court justices might find this way. And all Americans should be horrified at how republicans are trying to steal our country away.

In a decade they’ll be going after birthright citizenship for everyone, not just undocumented immigrants.

It was 5-4 on the constitutional question and the fact you are unable to recognise this as a problem is why you are unfit for the purpose. You have to go.

Trans women are women and gender is a social construction that is not binary, and these self-appointed guardians of people's bodies wearing their wizard robes cannot change that. You will outlive them.

I genuinely think this is a case of the reporter and their editor both being dummies who did not do the reading in school and thus have only encountered Capital in the context of annoying internet communists

Am I the only one who finds it very hard to believe Nina has ever even seen the CMS

Biden did nothing to address this Supreme Court. Now my opponent is offering us “no more” than his old boss. I will do more than talk about the attacks on our community. I will go after the institutions that make them possible. Chip in $20 today to make Congress twice as trans:

I can't take this seriously. not that mental health time isn't real or necessary, just that Republican politicians aren't allowed to have it

Alito ending his career by entirely unintentionally humiliating SCOTUS's preeminent narcissistic reporter would, unfortunately but easily, be the coolest thing he's ever done

would be nice if the next Democratic administration could find a way to make Ilan Wurman's life hell. how sure are we that he pays his taxes and stuff

it is literally impossible for the supreme court to be any worse than this

Ezra Klein is the kid from HS who stood next to the other kids at recess giggling while they yelled racial slurs down the hallway and then acted hurt in the classroom when you wouldn't share pencils with him because he never said anything
