Detroit DSA had a good night. Incumbents Rashida Tlaib and Dylan Wegla both won. Chris Gilmer-Hill beat incumbent Martha Scott, and Donavan McKinney currently has a slim lead over Shri Thanedar.
People who thought this race was going to be a blow out in Abdul's favor were silly geese.

This is the tragic yet logical result of a decades-long project—undertaken by rightwing politicians and “business-minded” administrators alike—to distort the meaning of higher education, to deny the intrinsic value of the pursuit of knowledge, to deprive us all of richer, more purposeful lives.

A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · yesterdayEverywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.
Must stop arguing with genocidal slob in my friend's FB comments. 🤦♂️

I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 3d agoOn the heels of high-profile primary wins, it might seem that the Democratic Socialists of America would feel ecstatic at the organization's national summit in Chicago this weekend. But nervous energy and a sprawling tableau of sometimes-competing interests were on display.
Oh crap. I'm at a party and Hercule Poirot is here. I'm so scared right now.
