I like cycling and US policy/public policy. It's great because there is zero overlap and makes for a very interesting feed. Great to see so many of you move here from Twitter! Keep Bluesky great.

The only people who I've seen say this are trans people saying it to me because I choose to vote for Democrats they hate.
Anyways, if you're shocked and appalled by my statement above but aren't when people in this site say this very thing to trans people hundreds of times a day, you are who that post was aimed at.

Not engaging allows people to maintain their purity. It is not, ultimately, about bringing their issues to the forefront. It's about not dirtying their hands by voting for someone as if the act of not voting isn't also a choice.
Lotta bad faith arguments in here from people who should know that the reality of not engaging at all will never force your issues to the forefront. I assume these people get that, that change takes time, but if you wanna take your ball and go home, the party will move on without you

My office has been in contact with the woman who recorded this video of an ICE agent drawing a gun on her. She is a Northern Virginia native and a mother.
Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

El-Sayed will greatly underperform Dems nationwide and will likely lose his very winnable race. Every other statewide D in MI will do better. All of them. No one's brain will be broken by an obviously weak candidate threatening to be the only Senate seat that flips D to R.
i think el-sayed winning the michigan senate primary will permanently break the brains that were being held together by string since mamdani

What would have happened? Democrats would have lost by even more than they did. California voters passed a gay marriage ban in 2008. It would have been far worse in 2004.
What would have happened in 2004 if, instead of giving into the framing and saying "oh yeah, we don't go for same sex marriage" we had party leaders unabashedly saying that we should have equality? We'll never know.

Here’s a really tense ICE situation in front of my home. One car looped a block 25 times until two reinforcement cars showed up and led me home. Was pretty scary because I was solo - BUT I knew I had backup from thousands of courageous neighbors and observers. Strength in numbers.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.
