Abdul El-Sayed won the Michigan Democratic primary. Just posting this plainly for other west coast ppl waking up to a ton of headlines and posts about how he sort of actually really lost bc the polls were wrong about how much he would win by. Sweet Israeli dreams to Hayley Stevens.
Forty years ago, in 1986, NYC suffered over 1,600 homicides. Homicides would peak at over 2,200 a few years later. There were 305 in 2025.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 20h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
If Stevens won they would not print that moderates didn’t get the big election night they wanted, they would print that moderates have struck back and reasserted their place leading the party

i know votes are still being counted but the more i look at this michigan senate map the more it becomes clear that it kind of looks like a mitten
Gonna start the “Mallory McMorrow is the Ralph Nader of Michigan” discourse. No one on any side likes it, they just feel tired.
Joe Sonka 😐@joesonka.lpm.org · 18h agoIt’s been a remarkably steady 3-point lead for AES for more than an hour now, with vote count nearly doubling.
It's gotten so much easier to start learning so many more languages, you used to be limited to the 3-5 major languages that a local bookstore or educational institution had decided it was worth making available, and now you can just like, look things up in hundreds of them

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.
The Tories have selected a convicted former Neo-Nazi as a councillor. Here's why that reflects very poorly on Jeremy Corbyn.
Americans are so desperate for a socialist government that even a guy who’s like “no I’m not a socialist but I think we should probably tax rich guys and give poor people healthcare” can put up Assad numbers

The cops are really going to poison the well on automated traffic enforcement - which perhaps is the point considering how many of them get dinged for speeding in school zones and running red lights. bsky.app/profile/jaso...

Every single headline ever written about Trump should include “Trump, accused of sexism and racism,” if this is how they want to play

Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.
Politico@politico.com · 2d agoMichigan will provide another crucial test of whether progressives can not only keep up their winning streak in safe-blue seats but also break through in battlegrounds crucial for control of Congress. The stakes for the Democratic Party are huge.
"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

my neighborhood 7-11 closed a couple years ago and tried to reopen but couldn’t get the permit approved because there’s a preschool next door and 7-11s sell alcohol (the previous permit was grandfathered in). i saw a fence going up around the lot recently and looked up what was moving in: a gun shop
