Aaron's activity on May 19 was dominated by two major threads: Georgia's nonpartisan Supreme Court elections and a scatter of broader political concerns.
The Georgia Supreme Court races occupied much of Aaron's evening attention. He followed results closely, reposting analysis suggesting that Democratic-aligned candidates were underperforming relative to expectations — with GOP-backed justices outpacing even Trump's vote share in early returns, and the Democratic advantage in early voting not translating into support for their preferred candidates. Several posts he amplified pointed to a core structural problem: in a nominally nonpartisan race, many voters simply didn't know which candidates aligned with which party. One analyst noted that Wisconsin's ability to consistently inform voters about judicial alignment in "nonpartisan" races is something Democrats should study. Another raised the possibility that candidate name recognition played a role — that "Miracle Rankin" reads as an obviously Black name and may have cued partisan sorting in a way that "Jen Jordan" did not. By the end of the night, Aaron was reposting takes skeptical of the "blue tsunami" narrative, with one analyst arguing that results roughly tracking Harris's numbers should temper enthusiasm about a generational realignment. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ppise65focmjxbwb7v6yclvd/post/3mmao7vnvss2c
Beyond Georgia, Aaron engaged with several other political stories. He reposted criticism of eight Senate Democrats who voted to confirm a judicial nominee who refused to affirm that Biden won the 2020 election. He also amplified concern about the Trump administration exempting Trump and his family from the longstanding IRS policy of automatically auditing sitting presidents and vice presidents — a norm in place for 50 years specifically to guard against self-dealing. On immigration, he reposted a piece framing Trump's refugee policy around Afrikaners as an expression of white supremacy. And on the Texas TX-35 special election, he reposted commentary approving of state Rep. James Talarico's decision not to support a Democratic primary winner whose statements raised antisemitism concerns. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/us/politics/trump-afrikaner-refugees.html
