Congratulations Abdul!!!! I can’t believe I know a Democratic nominee for Senate! Or that this picture was 11 years ago. The idea of Abdul being in the Senate advocating for public health and access to health care, especially at a time when RFKJ is in charge at HHS, is incredible to contemplate.

Kathleen Bachynski@bachynski.bsky.social · last mo.

I don’t exactly have the power of an AOC endorsement, but I’ve known Abdul for quite some time and I would be thrilled to see him represent public health in the Senate. He was our class speaker when I graduated from undergrad (Go Blue!) and then I got to know him better when were both at Columbia.

Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

This is actual antisemitism - not because it’s criticizing Israel, but because it attributes agency over all migration to Israel, with no evidence. This is just the Great Replacement conspiracy, and it is ultimately far-right. Such conspiracism is going to destroy the left, if it isn’t policed.

The OIG report “highlights the obvious: Corporations — not small immigrant-oriented healthcare providers, or undocumented immigrants illegally taking benefits — are responsible for the vast majority of alleged fraud in the American health care system.”

Big corporations and their lackeys in the Trump administration scapegoat immigrants to divert attention from their theft and abuse. While they lie to us about the problem they are the ones stealing from working people. Plain and simple, they want us divided and distracted while they rob us.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

The DSCC releases a statement on the El-Sayed victory.

It’s funny because we do this thing where Black voters are pathologized, literally, every election cycle.

brent sewer socialist🚰🌹@therealbrent.bsky.social · 21h ago

So El-Sayed is doing better with Black voters and worse with white voters than most people imagined? That’ll be fun for The Discourse.

I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.

Trump's team says 'no children' died from USAID cuts. Consider these 3 cases

Both Marco Rubio and Elon Musk, who led the effort to sunset the foreign aid agency, have said that no deaths have been linked to the cutting of its funding. These parents tell a different story.
