It’s weird how folks assume when something really bad happens in a red state it must of happened to someone that is rightwing. Not to state the obvious, but many of the most rabid rightwing supporters in red states are wealthy and not affected by the inadequacies of the government.

Hey fam, I'm going to need your help for a bit to help @rankmivote.bsky.social volunteers get 611,231 signatures we need to make sure we put #RankedChoiceVoting on the ballot in Michigan! These volunteers are tireless, and all we need right now is a like, follow, and share for me at Rank MI Vote!

Rank MI Vote volunteers prepare to run the petition program to bring Ranked Choice Voting to Michigan through ballot initiative amendment to the state constitution in 2026. 10 volunteers in the lobby of the state senate building across the street from the Michigan State Capitol building. They appear to be between the ages of 26 and 40, and evenly split between men and women.

lost count of how many striking workers I chatted with today, but some of the things they said are still weighing so heavily on me. “I can’t afford diapers for my baby.” “We pick up bags filled with human shit. And sometimes they break.” “I’m so tired.” “They treat us like trash. We’re human.”

Hot take: Young men “playing video games all day” deserve access to health insurance too. In a humane society everyone should have access to health care regardless of who they are or what they do. We should be expanding health insurance coverage, not kicking people off it.

Burnett: Do you like capitalism? Mamdani: No, I have many critiques of capitalism. Yes! For too long it has been taboo to discuss legitimate critiques of capitalism in mainstream US media. This has shut down any chance of implementing real solutions to social crises. A new day is coming.

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

Everyone has something they can contribute to the fight to keep our humanity, no matter how small. It all counts. I know it feels overwhelming, and it is. And it's okay to feel overwhelmed—you're human. But we can't let the atrocities harden our hearts. Empathy is your superpower. Embrace it.

🗽 NYC’s RCV moment is a win for democracy ✨ New York City used Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in its Democratic mayoral primary—where former governor Andrew Cuomo just conceded tonight, recognizing Zohran Mamdani’s lead—showcases how RCV can deliver clearer majority outcomes even in big, crowded races.

I’ve said this before but I really do not think you can separate a politician’s history of sexual misconduct from their political life. Sexual harassment and abuse is definitionally an abuse of power. Thus, people like that should not be given power.
