Who is the judge? Shouldn't this be a matter of public record? The article does not state their name. us.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...

and there's probably more than 100 that are substantively significant?? gotta start somewhere though

we need a top100 list just to remind everyone of them. there are so many it's easy to forget, and when new articles are written it's impossible for the author to remind the reader of all the previous related ones. especially if you'd want to consider both terms (and three campaigns).

interesting, that wasn't my impression of recent northampton politics. i just checked three of the contentious 2025 races; of 8 candidates, only 1 was originally from wmass, 6 not from wmass, and i couldn't tell for 1.

I don’t like bringing the personal into the posting but if you feel comfortable publicly commenting (nicely, no fed posting) on the “let’s make employers pay 100K for H1-B visas” rule proposed by DHS, I’d appreciate it. My significant other would be effected by this and I love her very much

this is terrible and also she kept out of prison an insurrectionist who summoned a mob to murder the vice president. she helped cause this environment of political violence at least no one was hurt here, unlike jan6, ICE/NG shootings, etc. etc.

This is why a committee-only or representative process is better for something complex like this in a short timeframe. It’s part of a committee’s job to be available. Broad public participation is better if possible, but “Open to public” is not “all public participates” for reasons like you mention

bbtoc.bsky.social @bbtoc.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
a 100 person committee is much more realistic as a decision making body than a broader public in an energency timeframe. have them meet - a hybrid “convention” - introduce and discuss candidates, get informed, and decide in a final RCV after a few days.

congressional dems should immediately draft overturn bills for each of these ludicrous decisions that just explicitly state the majority opinion is invalid, and affirm dissenting opinions as valid law. make it clear congress actually has supreme authority over the court

1918-1944 had Minnesota's Farmer-Laborer third party, which then merged with the Democratic party and to this day it's still officially the DFL. maybe NYC will have a "DSA-Dems" party eventually

bbtoc.bsky.social @bbtoc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
the pre-existing democratic party doesn't seem to have the mass membership movement that DSA does (at least in a few regions or areas). perhaps the eventual outcome is DSA grows with younger generations to just replace the dem party in certain places

bbtoc.bsky.social @bbtoc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
sounds like you're saying DSA is the mass-member organizational heavyweight - so change from the inside may be most effective. so to counteract DSA IC, don't go outside DSA, but create a new DSA committee to advocate for progressive foreign policy / liberal int'lism (or whatever alternative)

i was going by their recent-ish claims of 170k paid subscribers, and i think a comparison to 20 years ago is tough -- most magazines & legacy media tend to have much lower subscribers now than then? the broader point is it's new and at least comparable to that world. not unique, but something

bbtoc.bsky.social @bbtoc.bsky.social · 23/06/2026
the FP’s size, say as in number of paid subscribers, is legitimately high compared to other “small magazine” and substack sites/newsletters/mags for political news/opinion. but small compared to mainstream media. i guess its audience was an underserved niche, but just a niche?

russian leaders explicitly threatened nuclear use against perceived military escalation by ukraine’s allies, and the deterrent failed? it wasnt the allies doing direct kinetic strikes, but it was something. curious how this example fits in this framework.
