Pundits kept saying MI wasn't NYC. That's true, but one common thing these candidates did was address people's everyday problems in concrete terms clearly & passionately. In MI07, Will set himself apart from his competitors by addressing local issues and enlisting a lot of us in the fight.

These three candidates in Michigan came for the establishment. They all just won. A movement is building.

William Lawrence, a grass-roots organizer and climate activist, defeated two moderate candidates in the Democratic primary for a battleground House district in Michigan on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, scoring another victory for the party’s progressive wing.

I couldn’t be prouder of the movement we’ve built in mid-Michigan. Thank you, Ambassador Bridget Brink and Matt Maasdam, for your years of public service and all your hard work on the campaign trail. While tonight we celebrate, there’s still much more work ahead.

Today's the day and we will win! Another great piece from @ddayen.bsky.social, who seems to be among the few journalists who accurately captured what this election is about and how energetic people power out-performs outside $$$$. prospect.org/2026/08/04/m...

The Michigan Revolution Is About Old-Fashioned Politics - The American Prospect

Progressives like Abdul El-Sayed and Will Lawrence are running solid races. Moderates have fallen back on old arguments. Signs point to the progressives winning.

Let’s get the people-powered campaigns of Abdul El-Sayed, Donavan McKinney, and Will Lawrence across the finish line.

Three Michigan Planned Parenthood locations are closing because of federal cuts Tom Barrett voted for. Thousands of patients will now drive further and wait longer for basic healthcare. In 2022, Michigan voted for reproductive freedom. Now, Barrett is voting to defund the clinics providing it.

This guy has been around for a few days, feeling quite comfy on my porch, but I’m just pretending that he’s passing through and not digging holes in my foundation. Kind of skinny for a woodchuck, imo, so hoping he’s not ill.

UPDATE: Here's how long each #MI07 candidate will have lived in the district on election day. They arrived here with DC consultants, corporate donors, and agendas written by DC insiders. I've spent my whole life here organizing, fighting for neighbors, showing up long before this campaign.

Sarah is SO GOOD and SO SMART at countering false narratives that have anything at all to do with US agriculture. In this case, it's that old chestnut that solar farms take good farmland out of production. Not True! And Sarah will tell you why......

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 6d ago

Ok so this lady says solar panels are getting built on "the most productive farmland" in her area. Which just ain't true at all. It ain't true here in NC either. Where I ALSO hear that talking point over & over again. Smells like astroturf! So let's get the dirt on solar farms & dirt ✨
