Statewide primaries for U.S. Senate and #Minnesota governor today will set up races in this fall’s general #election. In #Democratic strongholds of the Twin Cities and ruby red parts of greater Minnesota, Tuesday’s primary election is the ballgame. Democratic state Sen. Omar Fateh faces two opponents on Tuesday: Jeanelle Austin and Brenda Short. State Sen. Paul Utke of Park Rapids is facing a challenge from ultra-conservative #GOP Rep. Mike Wiener. #uspol #uspolitics #elections

The only way to gain #Authoritarian #Fascist control of a #Democratic Liberal #State is to gain control of the #Army. That's why #Trump put #Hegseth in control of the Army. Hegseth beheaded the Army of ALL the Officers who could have opposed a fascist 'Coup' to create a fanatical, racist, politicized military force that blindly obey the 'dictator' up to now Hegseth has been successful The Army blindly 'obeyed', committing war crimes, contrary to the US Constitution. Fear the Army.

I used this site which aggregates candidate endorsements to help voters determine which candidates best represent their ideals, and most closely align with their political beliefs. I've chosen the most #progressive candidates I found, based on endorsements, for the #Florida #Democratic #primary, and will drop off my ballot this week. I'm disgusted that there are (supposedly) former Republicans in this primary. They can *never* be trusted. Period. https://bluevoterguide.org/ #USpol #Democrats

#DSA member Abdul El-Sayed wins #Democratic Primary for the Michigan Senate Seat being vacated by retiring Debbie Stabenow. The racists will be out in force in opposition, of course, and house to house campaigning is probably critical. https://apnews.com/article/michigan-primary-senate-elsayed-stevens-60c79349b60ffbf24a34d60b76e130ed

Why Trump’s team is letting some Republicans distance themselves from him Three months from Election Day, the president’s political operation is giving battleground candidates space to keep their distance. https://www.ms.now/news/trump-republicans-midterm-strategy-politics-2026 #politics #grift #trump #republicans #republican #democracy #democratic

The #Democratic Party learned all the wrong lessons from Ronald Reagan, and ever since the 1980 soft coup d'etat that installed the Republicans' senile cowboy actor in the White House as the hand-puppet of a massive assortment of right-wing propagandists and Heritage Foundation bureaucrats, the Democrats have faithfully chased after the perfectly "triangulated" imitation of just the nice parts of GOP fascism. Bill Clinton was their first success, their answer to Reaganite optimism, and he only won because of H. Ross Perot playing spoiler. (cont'd)

Now THERE was a triumph of #marketing indeed! Pres. Obama was completely outmaneuvered. Faithful to the politically self-defeating "centrism" of mainstream #Democratic politics, Pres. Obama thought he'd achieved an ideal compromise by rebadging Mitt Romney's Heritage-Foundation scheme for legally compelling more U.S. denizens to sign up for corporate health #insurance. He forgot that all Republican policies only work in Republican hands. He laid an egg in full sight of the nation, playing right into Republican hands: they instantly turned face and mercilessly shredded their own plan, successfully fastening Obama's own surname onto it as a slur.

I'm itching to start using a new #distro. As a recent #Linux user '#Mint' since a few months ago, I started to feel the urge to try a new distro with a new #DE. I have in mind to try #Debian with #Gnome. My search said Debian is community-driven, their #governance is #decentralised, #democratic, and more aligned with #FOSS values than other distro out there. If I want the same values, I should choose #KDEPLASMA. But, I really don't want to currently. I'm finding myself curious about Gnome ATM. I'm in despair if my combination is fit. 😅

Several current & former #counterterrorism officials across #Republican & #Democratic admins, as well as #Europeans, say the #Trump admin’s emphasis is misapplied.
 “The Europeans were much more concerned about right-wing terrorism than left-wing terrorism” in the first Trump admin & the Biden admin, said one former official who worked in both. 
That is still where most Europeans are, acc/to US & European officials. #law #Constitution #RightToProtest #FirstAmendment #FarRight #propaganda

Slave to the #system? I deliberately left the bit about Bitcoin in my #Cypherpunk Manifesto article. I’d copied it and included a link to it. It was addressed to the W3 crowd on Nostr, who see Bitcoin as the savior. Here, Bitcoin is seen as the Antichrist, facilitating the rise of fascism. Both are oversimplified analyses. That’s why I’d been hoping for a discussion, as I’m not entirely sure myself. However, both #Thiel and #Musk made their fortunes through predatory platforms, mainly via #PayPal. The most horrific things in the world happen because #BlackRock and the like speculate on food. Because the military-industrial complex is flooding the world with weapons. All without Bitcoin or crypto. There’s also the Bitcoin Africa movement, which simply doesn’t fit into the ‘scammer-hater’ narrative. Nevertheless, I think that as long as the world is ruled by #money (and it will be for a long time to come), it’s better to have decentralized money than #centralized money managed by states or companies. In Germany, they say, ‘Money doesn’t stink’. With money, you can buy flowers for your loved one or weapons to fight the enemy. The dollar and the euro are ultimately controlled by a select few.. Crypto could, if viewed positively, be #democratic. I think this is a worthwhile discussion. Think in terms of #structures, not #ideologies. https://word.undead-network.de/2026/07/07/slave-to-the-system/ #bitcoin #cryptho #decentral #freedom #money #slavery #w3 #www3

RE: https://texasobserver.social/@TexasObserver/116856407733218365 When I was a #Democrat, I attended the #Texas #Democratic #Convention in #ElPaso. The establishment Dems engaged in BS delaying tactics to keep #progressive measures from getting on the floor to be voted on, because *of course* they would.

#KnittingCultLady nails it. "Black Texans Don't Owe [us] James Talarico" https://youtube.com/shorts/7Fe1t03U1iI A lot of individuals and groups decided that Jasmine Crockett was not electable. Why do they think that? Because, while they *personally* don't consider themselves as engaging in #racism, they are absolutely convinced that *all* the rest of #Texas is *sooo* #racist and #misogynist that they'd *never* #vote for a #Black #woman. Do they even hear themselves? They are confessing their inability to figure out how to talk to fellow #Texans about the ways in which electing a #Democratic candidate who happens to be a Black woman will make their lives better. And they're trying to figure out how to get Black Texans to support Talarico. The first step to solving any problem is to identify it. The problem is, all y'all don't listen to Black Democrats. #Senate #elections

Il Tempo: Rosy Bindi choc, la sparata complottista su Trump: "Certi attentati..." "La sinistra italiana, sempre più in basso…". La Lega commenta così sui social l'ultima uscita tv di Rosy Bindi, ex ministra dei governi Prodi e D'Alema e punto di riferimento del Pd e della galassia dem in genere. Ma cosa ha detto ad Tagadà, su La7? "Io non capisco perché gli attentati a certi presidenti riescono e gli attentati a certi presidenti sono… come dire… lo ha detto il popolo Maga, un punto interrogativo che lo possiamo porre tutti". Già, parole che - a essere teneri - possono essere bollate complottiste. Secondo Bindi Trump "è in un momento di caduta di consensi per tutto quello che sta combinando, per le conseguenze delle sue guerre". Poi l'affondo: "Io penso che uno come lui può ricorrere a qualunque cosa. Se lo pensa il popolo Maga lo possiamo anche pensare nella provincia di Siena". Insomma, l'ipotesi di fondo è che l'attentato alla cena dei corrispondenti della Casa Bianca in un hotel di Washington possa essere una messinscena. Rosy Bindi shocked, the conspiracy-driven shooting about Trump: "Certain attacks..." The Italian left, sinking further and further…”. The League comments like this on social media regarding Rosy Bindi’s latest TV appearance, the former minister of the Prodi and D’Alema governments and a reference point for the Pd and the broader Democratic galaxy. But what did she say on Tagadà, on La7? “I don’t understand why attacks on certain presidents succeed and attacks on certain presidents are… let’s say… what the Maga people said, a question we can all pose.” Yes, words that – to be kind – can be branded conspiracy theories. According to Bindi, Trump “is in a moment of losing support due to everything he’s doing, for the consequences of his wars.” Then the attack: “I think someone like him can resort to anything. If the Maga people think it, we can also think it in the province of Siena.” In short, the fundamental hypothesis is that the attack on the dinner of the White House correspondents in a Washington hotel could be a staged event. #RosyBindi #Trump #Italian #RosyBindi’s #Prodi #D’Alema #Democratic #Tagadà #Bindi #Siena #theWhiteHouse #Washington https://www.iltempo.it/personaggi/2026/05/01/news/rosy-bindi-cosa-ha-detto-attentato-trump-complottista-video-47525463/

@benroyce@mastodon.social The chance that any Democrat will vote for a left-leaning legislation than any GOP member. Therefore, voting for a Democrat, even if they aren't left-leaning, creates a more left-leaning legislature. Voting in primaries is how you pick your candidate, once at the general, vote Democratic, regardless of issues you may have with that candidate. We can resolve those over time at the next election. Vote, vote, vote, vote! #Vote #Democratic #VoteBlue
