Music in the twenty-first century is going to be so poorly documented for future scholars/curious people both because there are so few organized publication, digital and physical, and everything digital is so fragile and impermanent

NEWS — Haley Stevens has endorsed Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan U.S. Senate race against Republican Mike Rogers.
In looking at the areas El-Sayed underperformed relative to elsewhere, probably have to keep in mind that those areas were totally inundated by advertising that portrayed Stevens as Obama’s choice, an obstacle El-Sayed is unlikely to face in the general election

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 2mo agoICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.
Taking this data into account its not surprising why Stevens ultimate lost out in the end.
Marcus@marcusjmerritt.com · last wk."Based on both Bluesky activity and FEC contribution records, a significantly larger share of Stevens’ support appears to have originated from outside of Michigan than El-Sayed’s." (from @conspirator0.bsky.social)

Bad news bears, as someone who went through ABA, this is in fact what it is! They physically abused me for having seizures, I wasn’t let out of the room or restraints until I could have more sightly kinds of seizures & now I have much worse kinds. My life is actually a nightmare because of ABA
