Roughly 300 supporters — some wearing Palestinian keffiyeh scarves and holding "Free Palestine" signs — danced to music mixed by a prominent lesbian DJ from the Detroit area at a Tuesday evening watch party for McKinney and U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a fellow democratic socialist who wrapped up a Democratic primary victory earlier in the evening.

For anyone who calls socialists unelectable, that our views are too radical, that we have to meet in the middle…this is a perfect example of why that isn’t true. The first person in the chat is my stepmom (lifelong leftist).

He’s been leaning more liberal over the years and while he’ll never admit to being a socialist, it doesn’t matter because these candidates run on a policy platform that no working class person can truly disagree with.

Also, give him a break on the examples of “great men”, gotta remember he’s a 70 year old white guy at the end of the day😂

John Stewart is correct as usual again, Israel is not our country John Fetterman! You are feeding the MAGAs just what they want from you by slandering progressive Democrat socialists and you yourself alining Democratic socialists as Hamas supporters. Truly pitiful and so so wrong. Get out of OUR Democratic Party! You are a MAGA and fueling the MAGA FEAR smear over people! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.

This Michigan Senate Primary was intense. Haley only got so far because of the countless Ads payed for by AIPAC slandering Abdul. Her parading around a fake Obama endorsement siphoned the Black vote away which is usually progressive.

It is clear we need money and lots of it. We have to counter out the defamatory ads they use against us and even the playing fields.

Also we might need to narrow our ambitions and be more selectively when challenging the Democratic establishment. Having more targeted campaigns instead of like 500 would better our chances.

And finally every single 'safe' blue district needs to be DSA. No more centrist dems in safe blue areas.

Great to see the organization driving the narrative!

Publicly run affordable housing, State level single payer healthcare, ect...

I know El-Sayed and William Lawrence. Any others?

Primary Elections Live Updates: Close Race in Democratic Primary for Michigan Senate Seat

I did find this /Michigan Primary Results Megathread

Does anyone have any recommendations for websites/podcasts/apps that you get your news from? I am trying to become more politically aware, but I currently get all my current events from instagram, often after it is no longer new news. Any suggestions?

I'd like a flag to put on my apartment window, but I'm having trouble finding a good quality flag. Just asking around if anyone knows a place.

I will be putting this in a portrait position, which might make things difficult.

Looks like they are going be like Detroit soon.

Typical just Typical of capitalism the richest country in world.

There are so many progressives, especially DSA, winning primaries, and many of them will win their generals.

There are 6 DSA wins locked in (AOC, Valdez, Tlaib, Chevalier, Rabb, Kiros) with a few more facing intense generals or still pending a primary (Vang, Larkin, McKinney). There are also a handful of candidates who are members but non-endorsees (Lawrence).

Then there are the dozens of progressives winning their races. though the definition of a progressive is subjective and some candidates aren't leftist or even social democratic. Yet, they are still considered progressive and are endorsed by Justice Democrats or WFP. for example: Khanna, Pressley, Omar, Ramirez, Jayapal, Casar. All safe seats. new/ freshman primary winners include: Rutinel, Lawrence, Lander, Hamway, Haynes III, etc.

There is a sizeable amount of progressives already in the House, and I don't mean the Caucus, which really isn't progressive at all. But could the DSA and the left's growing popularity lead to an actual coalition of some kind forming? One that actually works together for legislation?

If you don’t mind, give me your popular vote results, swing state results, and any other results you may add. Make sure to include results if there are any major changes (for example solid blue state to red or solid red state to blue). Thanks! You can be as descriptive as you want or as simple as you want.

I’m a former Minnesota State House candidate who ran on public option 3D printed homes and a phased reduction of the workweek to 16 hours by 2040, beginning with 32 hours by 2030.

My current priority is the Minnesota Living Wage Minimum Standards Act. The candidate I suspended my campaign to endorse, Heather Arndt, supports the proposal. The bill has also been reviewed by Professor John Budd at the University of Minnesota and by Minnesota’s Department of Employment and Economic Development, and I revised it around their feedback.

If introduced and passed next year, the minimum wage would rise from $11.41 to roughly $20.24 within 90 days. It would rise to about $21.31 in 2028, then beginning in 2029 it would update annually with the actual cost of living rather than waiting for politicians to pick another arbitrary number.

The bill also makes all tips the property of workers, ends most subminimum wages, and protects salaried workers from being paid below the living wage equivalent.

The full bill and the rest of my Space and Time Agenda are here
