I'm glad McMorrow showed up. Should've done it when she dropped out but still nice to see
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9h agoEl-Sayed on Islamophobia: "That's the only play they got. They're gonna point at me, they're gonna point at my name, like, 'Wow, he's different.' That's the best you got? You can't actually talk about what you want to do? My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is now taking us to war."
To snidely relitigate this, Moss won. This garbage doesn't work, stop trying it, you're going to reverse polarize people against you
Barry Deutsch@barrydeutsch.bsky.social · 4d agoWhen it comes to Israel/Palestine policy, I'm much more in alignment with Aisha Farooqi's policies than Jeremy Moss. But "Aisha Farooqi is Michigan first/Jeremy Moss is Israel first" is a despicable antisemitic duel-loyalty trope, and Farooqi should apologize for having used it.
Cannot overstate that Stevens ran on "being a doer(?)" and basically fuckall else. People need to run on causes

Mallory McMorrow immediately endorses: “Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed for winning the Democratic primary to become our nominee to be Michigan’s next US Senator. I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party”

Really is crazy to me that Young Evelyn Normielib was too fucking left for New York Dems so instead they found the furthest right wing ghoul in the Michigan Democratic delegation. We really gotta gut the dem leadership

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.
there is a very prominent idea in the Middle East that the Jews who left after the wave of pogroms following the establishment of Israel are a type of property which has to be returned to the countries to which it belonged

I will never forget someone on Twitter waxing poetic about how they were never taught about the Tulsa Race Massacre and one of their classmates @ed them like “yes we did. We had social studies together. They definitely covered it. You cut class constantly.”
You ever stare at your dog like I can't believe this is free. He could easily charge for this
Rimworld rules If you replace a leg it stands to reason you are also replacing the foot; you cannot remove a leg but keep a foot Ergo the leg is necessary; the foot is sufficient

Maybe (definitely) this is me being a bit Texan, but I do think emptying a revolver into a tee-ball coach's chest is a correct reaction to him making your daughter expose her genitals to him.

Yeah ok there needs to be scorched earth on Gillibrand New York lunatics do not get to puppeteer my state. McMorrow was the sensible compromise between Abdul and Stevens, if Abdul wins she has no one to blame but herself
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 3d agoIs Gillibrand on crack? Why was she telling donors, without a shred of evidence, that Mallory McMorrow is a DSA member???
Michigan is good at electing democratic senators (why this doesn't translate to presidents is its own can of worms) so it's reasonable to conclude that the democratic primary is the whole ballgame in this climate. Abdul faces an uphill battle in the general to be sure but I'm not concerned
Micah@rincewind.run · 3d agoI am just not convinced that Mike Rogers - polling in the mid-40s even in polls he’s leading - is going to be able to outrun the worst midterm environment the GOP has faced in my lifetime under any circumstances

post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 3d agoI am reluctant to overread the results of GE polling taken at the absolute peak of primary nastiness and IMO you should be too. there’s not zero signal there, but it’s both weaker and more complicated than it looks
The number of so-called progressives on here who are happy to parrot “Muslim Moroccan migrants into Spain are an invading force of Israel,” just because it allows them to maintain “Israel is bad” as the highest political principle of all, is really dismaying!

To pull the mask way too far off, it's actually insane to me that these people (who, despite listening to a lot of ASMR I don't even recognize) lost their channels over seemingly nothing while many unaffected huge channels are basically making softcore porn. Like what is this disconnect

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.
