Gentle reminder, very genuine: this was a Dem primary. Here's the 2024 Michigan map. The ground game in SE MI is important because northern Michigan outside Traverse City and west Michigan outside the cities is ruby red.

2024 United States presidential election in Michigan
		
Nominee	Donald Trump	Kamala Harris	
Party	Republican	Democratic
Home state	Florida	California
Running mate	JD Vance	Tim Walz
Electoral vote	15	0
Popular vote	2,816,636	2,736,533
Percentage	49.73%	48.31%

The 2024 United States presidential election in Michigan took place that November 5 as part of the 2024 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Michigan voters chose electors for Donald Trump and JD Vance to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Michigan has 15 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state lost a seat.[2]

Due to the state's nearly even partisan lean and the close margins by which it was decided in 2016 and 2020, it was considered to be one of the seven crucial swing states in 2024,[3] though many viewed it as the most difficult of the seven for Trump to regain, even harder than Nevada, the only one of seven Trump never won in 2016 and 2020. However, contrary to polling data, Trump flipped Michigan back into the Republican column, defeating Kamala Harris by 1.42%. This made the state 0.06% more Democratic than the nation at-large and therefore the closest to the national results. Michigan shares with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin the longest active streak of voting for the winning presidential candidate, having done so in the last five presidential elections. Altogether, the three states have voted for the same candidate in nine consecutive elections, dating to 1992.

This was the first election since 2012 where Michigan voted more Democratic than the nation as a whole. It was also the first election since 1988 that Michigan voted more Republican than neighboring Wisconsin.

I found this interesting. Dems in NW MI and the UP largely went for El Sayed. I know most of these places save Leelanau County and potentially Benzie and Grand Traverse will vote R in the general, but these support for progressives up here.

Screenshot from the New York Times showing the results of the 2026 primary for Michigan Senate. Photo shows county by county results, with El Sayed winning in urban areas of Lansing, Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids, but also in Northwest Lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.

everyone please keep your eyes on the transit one too which has been a huge "DVE"/race & class issue for decades in detroit & its suburbs they don't want the lower paying jobs call detroiters bums for not having work when we find jobs out there they won't do, they BAN the bus transportation...etc

so other things that mattered for our region last night: 1. transit millage - passed 2. DPSCD school operating millage - passed 3. Dearborn library mileage renewal - pass all millages on the ballot passed. why does this matter? state Republicans want to change when they happen.

Yerrrrrr! People of the internet, I’m tryna help a domestic violence survivor keep her car. She’s behind on her weekly payment fee. $258.66 has to be paid before midnight or they’re gonna come repossess her shit. Screenshots for proof incoming. Keeping this anonymous so she can stay safe.

Black Detroiters have been voting for progressives longer than some of your faves have actually BEEN progressive. Rashida Tlaib was first elected to the Congressional seat once occupied by John Conyers, who consistently advocated for M4A. thepulseinstitute.org/2019/11/02/j...

A gentle observation: Some of the same older Black voters in Detroit who are being shaded for not supporting Abdul El-Sayed in the primary sent Rashida Tlaib to the House. And keep sending her there. 🤯 Yes, her district encompasses all of Dearborn *now,* but not in 2018. All politics is local.

See this is a duplicitous tweet on its face. A shitbrain like this is gonna hit you with the "Artificial intelligence is in almost every software suite we use" GOTCHA. I dont like gen AI or LLM at all. I can also get through my day without the other forms. I will use my brain more😂 BUT yep.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

 All the people who are anti-Al or want to
 slow Al progress, I have one question:
 If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you
 still get through an entire workday
 without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
 Al tool?
 
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
 Would you actually be willing to give it
 up?

My taxes subsidize bombs and death weapons I don’t want to use but are used anyway by proxy. I’d rather my taxes feed the many starving adults and children in my wealthy-ass capitalist country than obliterate some other country’s poor and impoverished.
