Mike I am in pain. Couldn't have drawn up a worse series for the Yankees if I tried

You're missing the point. This isn't (at least from me) about who to vote for in November. This is about people who are being marginalized by members of their own party being told to suck it up. People have a right to be really, really, really angry about that.

Keep moving the goalposts there. No one said the Democrats were as bad as the Republicans, but it's not great that so many of them are conceding ground to Republicans. Here's Seth Moulton, who represents a safe blue district in Massachusetts: thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Crochet is now the first player in postseason history to throw 0.0 innings and record a strikeout. (It has happened 39 times in the regular season.)

Oh c'mon, he's endorsed plenty of great candidates as well. There are going to be misses. I'd rather support a wing of the party who occasionally misses but has good policies than the wing of the party that also occasionally misses and doesn't have any policy at all

Obviously everything this paper produces is absolute garbage, but nothing shows that more than Megan McArdle taking a story that is solely famous because of how ridiculous it is and using it to try and make some hamfisted point about culture war. Just an embarrassment

Ah yes, throwing a water bottle on the ground and punching someone 40 years ago as a teenager are just as bad as a Nazi sexually assaulting women.

That ad you released is horrific. That rhetoric demonstrably and empirically contributes to the deaths of trans folks. So I want you to ask your self how many dead children does it take for you to realize this strategy (that we have no evidence for the efficacy of) isn't worth it? For me, it's 0.

An estimated 500,000-1 million people died in 2025 alone because the US spent decades making other nations dependent on foreign aid and then they abruptly ended that aid.

District of Nebraska. The Republican county election commissioner briefly booted Martinez off the ballot because he technically didn't have an *active* peace officer's license, as required by state law, despite it only being inactive because he retired. The state SC intervened and placed him back

Douglas County, NE (Omaha) sheriff. Incumbent Rep. Aaron Hanson is deeply pro-ICE, pro-Flock, has purchased shock gloves, and regularly associates with and endorses 88 Tactical, a local gun range known for Nazi symbols. He's being challenged by Dem. Mark Martinez, formerly the US Marshal for 1/

Lol not actually, but they do have 400 seats in their House for only 1.4 million people. Oddly enough, they only have 24 seats in their state Senate which is a comical difference. They also make $100 per year

And you can do that. You absolutely should do that! I agree wholeheartedly! The system is corrupt and needs to be dismantled in its entirety. That will not happen by November. We need to be doing the ground work for radical change in the long-term, but they are not mutually exclusive

Describe for me the option that will save lives. If you live in Montana, name the individual action you can take in this election that will result in fewer deaths

I'm not saying he is. I'm sure he will support horrendous policies. But he will support fewer of them than Alme will. And there's no evidence that Bankhead will be competitive at all in this race

The Republican gutting of USAID alone has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If there's something you can do to stem the bleeding, even if the bleeding is still happening, then you don't have the luxury of principles. Change rarely happens all at once

Compared to Alme? No it wouldn't. Alme is the expected winner. Bodnar is as less-bad as you can get and still have a chance. It's not perfect but people had the same logic in WV. Frustrated with Manchin, the Dems nominated progressive Swearingen against Moore Capito, She lost by 40 percentage points

I'm not trying to be rude, but the only tangible outcome of this will be a Republican in office. I get it. It's icky and it's unfair. But my morality has to be determined by its effects on people, not how it makes me feel. If I feel "good" about something, but that choice contributes to harm?

Jacob the Eternal Rob Refsnyder Fan @bfskinnerstan.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
This is about harm reduction. In the current environment in MT, there are two possible outcomes: a Republican and a half Republican. Both are bad but one is demonstrably worse. Here in NE it's the same. The state Dem party has a lot of legwork to do before Dems are competitive at the state level

I have a genuine question: are you proud of this? When you get home at night, do you think "Wow, I put good into the world today!" Is there any shame? When you get old, will there be any part of you that regrets making a career out of pushing misleading propaganda? What a sad use of your one life

"Halted progressive momentum" as if there wasn't a slew of other progressive victories last night and the socialist candidate lost by under 1 percentage point. A joke of a headline

Jacob the Eternal Rob Refsnyder Fan @bfskinnerstan.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
Karl Marx himself could descend from the heavens and win an election with 95% of the vote and Politico would run a headline that says "Far left suffers from rising opposition in election"

When I lived in Boston, I paid $90 a month for my transit pass. I could commute to my job in the suburbs on the bus and could take any bus or subway or light rail or ferry in the city as many times as I wanted. I could walk to the store, a 7-Eleven, great restaurants, etc. I miss that so much

What an embarrassing thing to publish. Just an absolute garbage article top-to-bottom, especially burying the lede that the main "opposition" you quote doesn't even live in NYC!

Jacob the Eternal Rob Refsnyder Fan @bfskinnerstan.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
???????? The picture of this article is of a progressive who won despite getting outspent a zillion to one. Not to mention Thanedar losing his primary to a progressive and Lawrence, a progressive, winning another primary for an open seat. Plus Tlaib easily fending off a challenger from her right.
