Proof of life still needed. Meet with the Governor, Mitch. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

I know I'm not supposed to like England, but I can't help but be charmed by the singing of Wonderwall at the end when they win.

I’ve avoided a lot of the Platner discourse because it’s a toxic tarpit, but I think the notion that the lesson here is primarily about either one political faction or something essential about “unvetted” newcomers, sits in some considerable tension with the entire Eric Swalwell experience.

Novogratz going to split a sinking ship into two sinking ships.

At midnight tonight, the most important housing bill in three decades will become law. Donald Trump refuses to sign it because he’s mad we won’t pass his SAVE Act and sell out Black and Brown voters

I've never seen Seattle more alive than the window when the world cup was here. Beyond the specific changes, I would love to see our city mobilize more communal events like the watch parties that would bring people into spaces together around shared purpose.

Proof of life, Mitch! Seriously why is this not happening??

This is indeed the correct takeaway.

When FIFA’s corruption finally benefits the USMNT.

What a country indeed

If he called, and if the US win, there's no way he'll be able to stop himself from taking credit. And at that point, any semblance of FIFA being an imperial body is cooked, and so is this whole tournament.

The big story is the obvious corruption and how the Trump Regime and FIFA are both corrupt AF institutions who seem made for one another. But it says something about how little faith Trump has in Team USA to win on its own merit. About as much faith as he has in the rest of America.

It's the second anniversary of the moment when millions of people said in unison, "Oh no. We're fucked."

When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you. Thanks to the @nba.com, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of LinkNYC screens across our city. LGK.

She’s the best good luck charm!

I’ve been saying….

Seattle City Council unanimously approves a data center moratorium, making Seattle the biggest city in America to put the brakes on clanker factories 🙌 #Seattle #pnw #pnwlife #Washington

"And last, I'd like to thank Pearl Jam Guy" is a real thing my city council member just said about me. I earned this nickname after I wore a Pearl Jam shirt to city council hearings about Seattle's data center moratorium 😂 You're welcome ✊

Man. Netroots is so cool. For all its challenges - the main ones being it should have 100x the budget and 100x the people - it really is a polycrisis/dystopia aversion system. But I want to say a little about "HR Lady Politics." One of the best things about it is basically any problem you can🧵 #NN26

Advice to @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social - don’t pivot on trans and don’t ignore it. You’ve been doing pretty solid on it. Fire back. Tell these freaks they’re not going to make this election about their weird obsessions with kids private parts.

Money for Them, Not for You. @politico.com highlights new ads that @waytowinus.bsky.social is running with local partners @downhomenc.bsky.social & LUPE targeting Congressional Rs for their complicity in Trump's reckless wars, brutal immigration policy, and self-dealing. @jenancona.bsky.social 1/

Memorial Day cookout. Beach trip. Visit with family. All of it costs more this year. That’s not an accident. Trump’s tariffs and war in Iran are driving up your costs.

Recommended: interview with @surj.org ED Erin Heany regarding their research showing a majority of white, working class voters oppose Trump's cruel immigration policies. @waytowinus.bsky.social

An ad that argues private equity has too much power is taken down off the air by a private equity funded company that owns the team, the TV station that airs the team’s games, and the newspaper that covers the team. Platner couldn’t have written the script better himself.

This is what political strength looks like. Take note, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Fantastic piece!! newrepublic.com/article/2106... @perrybaconjr.bsky.social @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

We have an uphill battle to figure out how to effectively run on it because right now their fraud message is much stronger.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

I’d be good with Joe Kennedy!

If you'd like to read a post-2024 (inc. 2025) autopsy-like report that was thoroughly edited, built from strong research, focused on what voters were thinking, and did meet all stakeholders' (stringent) standards, please read ours. These were the conclusions, which we absolutely still stand by.

Today is a good day to revisit *this* autopsy.

💡 The DNC released its half-finished 2024 autopsy today. It's not that helpful. BUT over the past year, various groups and individuals who are probably smarter than the DNC released their own autopsies of what happened in 2024. Here's a thread with all of them. 🧵

New bumper sticker: Don't blame me I endorsed Ben Wikler.

Reading through the "autopsy" report the DNC released is so depressing. A true study in incompetence. 1) it's not an autopsy 2) it says nothing 3) it really matters that we learn the correct lessons from our losses, and this is at best a total distraction from the actual task at hand.

If you need a chaser from opening the DNC "autopsy" I recommend reading this one again 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Anyways, please read and share ours, it was built from a lot of very strong research and was a lot of work to put together.

Not too many people here on Al Gore's Internet are also the lead author of a sprawling 2024 autopsy-like report. Since the good Lord blessed me with this opportunity, she has also chosen to bless me with this, the funniest 🤬ing thing I have seen in my entire life. Actual ROFLing.

😒

Leaving the content of these ads aside: these data show content that takes Trump framing builds public support for Trump (bot right). That logically extends to science. When NASEM leaders invite Trump ppl to friendly events, it makes the public believe Trump’s attacks on science are ok. 1/

if you serve Diet Fash, the fash will want Original Recipe Fash and the people who find Fash of any kind disgusting will just stay home

I've been saying: Democrats sticking to their principles rather than swaying with political winds is not only more morally admirable, *it is more politically savvy*. Nothing was more predictable than this thermostatic backlash against Trumpian fascist immigration policy.

Every day I wake up and thank various deities and the universe generally that I'm somehow still alive. My next thought is that my country is committing utterly horrifying human rights abuses for no rational reason and the next one after that, that my chosen political party aided and abetted this.

🧵 🧵🧵 The constant bitching about Bluesky community and the obsession around it in certain parts - is not really any different than the dynamic around blogosphere/netroots circa 2003-08 (until those spaces became coopted). (1/6)

Poop face, Mr. Tiny Hands, 10/10 no notes

Someone asked a bunch of kids what the first thing was that cane to mind when they thought about Trump. Their answers are priceless. Check out the video.

Great essay by @gregsargent.bsky.social about the symbolic politics of our era. Greg reads Trump's efforts to build a ballroom as part of his attempt to brand a new imperial presidency with himself at the helm... newrepublic.com/article/2101...

"There is a big difference between giving credit, taking credit and demanding gratitude..." www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

I wrote a piece about the need to end climate silence. Don't listen to the "climate hushers" -- people telling us to ignore the crisis & only focus on affordability and "kitchen-table" issues. Instead, connect climate and our fossil fuel addiction to the issues that voters care about most.
