"This does not mean that this last year has been for nothing," @katmabu.bsky.social speaks to the crowd for the first time in Andersonville tonight, conceding her race for Democratic nominee for U.S. Congress to Evanston mayor Daniel Biss.

I'm so goddamn proud of her.

Kat Abughazaleh did a hell of a job. She and her whole team should be proud. We're still getting our feet under us, but the progressive left has made great strides in a relatively short amount of time. The fight goes on.

Kat ran a great campaign in a crowded district and nearly pulled it off. I know she's going to continue doing great things, for Illinois and the rest of the country.

Maybe it's cope, but I think regardless of the outcome of the Illinois primary the fact that we've been able to push the conversation this far to the left is a good sign of things to come. The fight goes on.

40 MINUTES TIL POLLS CLOSE. As always, if you’re waiting in line to vote, STAY IN LINE.

“He was deceived by Israel” is going to be the story so many people are going to reach for and I think creating this stabbed in the back myth is going to have some really bad consequences down the line.

🚨 IT'S ELECTION DAY 🚨 This is it. Today decides everything. Let's make it count: Knock doors, make calls, talk to your friends, and make sure everyone you know in IL-09 makes their voice heard!

My grandmother is currently suffering from dementia. When it got bad my mother took her car keys and told her she didn’t want her to hurt herself or someone else. My grandmother said, verbatim, “I don’t care if I or anyone else gets hurt, I deserve my freedom.” That’s what we’re dealing with.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

I wrote about Kat.

Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

Well then welcome to the Streisand effect

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Just straight up state-sanctioned terrorism.

Talarico: "As a former educator, as someone who fought for students & kids in the halls of the Texas Capitol, it makes me sick to my stomach to see our foreign policy take the lives of innocent children in Iran & in the Middle East. It has to end. We need a foreign policy that reflects our values."

They're going to destroy the global economy but watching them squirm to try to stop oil prices from skyrocketing due to their stupidity is entertaining

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

Yes, but if we did that how would we keep an entire generation in perpetual debt slavery? Then we might be able to afford a house or something, and those obviously all belong to Blackrock.

y'all should familiarize yourself with what the Average American is consuming entertainment-wise!

when you’re arguing about politics here on bluesky just remember there’s a young sheldon spinoff called george and mandy’s first marriage that’s watched by millions of people

as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them

18 Dems just voted *today* for Trump’s agenda. Does it make sense yet why they’re so unpopular?

Fundraising off this nightmare and doing nothing about it makes you no better. Wanna ask ol Bill Clinton about that shit too?

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

I have family that are a part of Hagee’s cult, and let me tell you: They are anything but normal. I’m talking the “speak in tongues while twitching on the ground, and have post-rapture plans for your pets” brand of crazy. It would be pitiable if they weren’t also insufferably holier than thou.

Honestly, the sooner you can unlearn jealousy and envy as reactions to others’ success, the better off you’ll be. There are better ways to motivate yourself to succeed than hoping that your peers don’t.

The older I get the more I've grown to hate The West Wing. When the show's not being jingoistic it presents a falsely bucolic view of our political system that is, at best, so absurdly idealistic that it borders on farcical.
