In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname
Thank you, Michigan. I love you from the bottom of my heart!
There's still plenty of time for rat fuckery, but I can't tell you how excited I am that I get to get to vote for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social instead of John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennett
Exhibit #1847190 that "Far Left" policies are really just the most sensible shit you've ever heard in your life, but with scary background music.
If Wisconsin elects her, so many racist white people are going to explode
Not surprised that it was this close given the ridiculously lop-sided spending of both the DNC to support Stevens, and AIPAC's investment. But damn if that isn't still a solid win for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social
Just saw The Odyssey. You Outta-See-it I am the first one to make this joke, thank you.
Okay, I might not like him on the team but this is legit funny
Wait? Outman stays? And Workman goes? Guess this deal wouldn't Workman without him

I submit that for a lot of people it wasn't really that bad. Time at home with family, no commute, cleaner air, a better sense of community working together, universal basic income. Yes, schooling was a shit show, and for plenty of people it was a horror show for all the reasons we know it was.
I’ve been writing a counter narrative of shutdowns that has me revisiting media from that time. And let me tell you, the only other option was everybody die. So yeah.
ABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"
Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'
Capital One says it closed hundreds of accounts associated with President Trump and his businesses in 2021 "for anti-money laundering reasons," according to a filing.

I would like for the Tigers to go ahead and do The Things or tell us they aren't going to be Doing Any More Things. That way I can stop refreshing things constantly.
Also fuck Pat McAfee for repeating platforming the yutz
It’s August 2026 and Aaron Rodgers is having a full blown meltdown about Anthony Fauci.
Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.
I don't think this one was intentional but I am in favor of the Tigers making beaning umpires a thing
BTW, if you are a #Tigers fan and you are mad about the Skubal trade, the you must... -Cancel your Detroit sports streaming subscription (or don't buy it) -Cancel your season tickets (or don't buy them) and stop going to games -No merchandise, including McGonigle and Clark swag
FWIW I am also terrified of Shohei, Skubal, and Yamamoto hanging out and talking game for the remainder of the season. How much more filthy are those three guys gonna get from working in close proximity with one another from now til October?
Full-on Nazi shit. Modern day yellow star patches.
Am told at the blue ash Ohio ICE office today that a bunch of springfield Haitians were told to just “check in” at are now having ankle monitors put on them, which, uh….. they’re not supposed to be fucking doing that
I am sure this has been pointed out already but: Shohei: $28m Betts: $25m Freeman: $22m Yamamoto: $20m Skubal: $32m $127m That is more than the entire payrolls of: Col, Min, Pit, TB, Athletics, Stl, Wash, White Sox, Miami, and Cleveland. So what are your lockout plans?
*scrolling my feed too fast* Ok so the US won’t be bombing Iran as part of the Tarik Skubal trade that’s good
It's Little Tiny Ass Dick Month. If you celebrate, you probably got a stupid ass nasty little dick. Go fuck your self
If you have not won an election in a year that starts with a 2, I beg of you: Shut the fuck up.
"I mean, *I* won't have any back bone, but I encourage others to. I'm sure Chuck Schumer will rally the troops, or something"
Todd Blanche is the mastermind of Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion corrupt slush fund. His nomination to serve as Attorney General must be rejected. Hold. The. Line.
Hegseth’s failures reveal that the real fear of diversity is its strength: it stress-tests ideas, privileges merit over status, and ensures the best ideas—not the most protected insider status—win out
Watching Hegseth lose this war over and over in the most vicious way is the ultimate proof of what happens when the bar is lowered to the floor for one particular demographic, while spitting on everyone else.
what's wild is they made three movies about a man who turns into an ant or something but they can't make a movie about a cool vampire hunter swordsman whose movies made bank even before the superhero craze
Listen. I'm gonna say the quiet part out loud: the only way you "can't figure out" how to make a Blade movie is white supremacy. Full stop. The narrative writes itself, there are plenty of Black actors and martial artists who'd jump at the chance. It's not rocket surgery.
Why would I ever hate on trans people? They are my friends, my allies, and together we can all hate the Chicago Blackhawks which I think is beautiful.
Guy who doesn't, and probably never has, lived in a small, sleepy town wants to build data centers there, which he also hasn't and never will live near
Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
