Missouri voters just blocked a Republican-led effort to raise the bar for passing citizen-led constitutional amendments. Under current law, ballot measures require a simple majority for passage. Amendment 4 would have required ballot initiatives to win a majority in each congressional district.

Pragmatic Leftist. Not a nice person.
Haitian- and Syrian-Americans are in danger of being dragged to concentration camps where they will be tortured and left to whither away and, if they survive that, sent to a country where their lives are in danger. America was built on concentration camps, forced labour, torture. Nothing changed.
The first author, Michael Worobey, was skeptical of a market origin. So he did what scientists do, he tried to prove the hypothesis wrong....rigorous studies in landmark paper after landmark paper kept showing the market as the origin of COVID-19.

So dsa, low key implying Black folks are Islamophobic and that’s why they didn’t vote for El-Syed is added to the list of stupid insulting things that will cause you to lose. The Islamophobes you need to be worried about are maga, they will vote. You bashing Black folks lessens your support.

@littleplatter.bsky.social I'm not on the campaign, but I'm assuming the strategy will be: 1. GOTV in SE MI and the cities. 2. Excite young progressives in the college towns, exurbs & rural Michigan. 3. Peel off as much of the vote in the small, Trump-voting sundown counties. I think it's doable!
There. Are. No. Trans. Women. In. The. WNBA. This whole conversation is a racist trap and long circuitous argument that always comes back to insulting cisgender Black women by calling them not women. In particular it attacks: Brittany Griner, Liz Cambage, and A'Ja Wilson.

Respectfully, if you're not from Detroit or have never set foot in the city, please don't speak negatively about our politics or our people. Thanks.
I emailled Abdul El Sayed's campaign to let him know that I will vote for him in November. AND To stop associating with that nasty Hamas-supporting antisemite Piker.
NEW: An ICE flight headed for Moldova turned around over the Atlantic Ocean yesterday and flew back to an ICE hub, returning 15 hours after it left. We don’t know why. Video I obtained from the scene shows 11 exhausted and shackled people disembark. gillianbrockell.com/why-did-this...
