I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.

Now they're going to move on to Francesca Hong in Wisconsin. It'll be even uglier than what you saw in Michigan.
I really want Francesca Hong to win the primary and the November election. But I’m already utterly exhausted gutter racism I’m seeing this election bring out from republicans and supposed democrats.
I see they are following the terrible example of Ohio State.

Obviously there's just some people on here who are using Uncommitted or Dearborn as a racial epithet

Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 4h agoLet me ask Abdul El Sayed
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
My friend told me her 10 yo daughter is growing out her hair after a teacher at school barred her from entering the girl’s bathroom last year because of her short hair. Can you believe this shit? And the school never apologized for this act of bullying.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5h agoNEWSMAX: Your daughter fractured her collarbone and there was a handprint on her upper chest, and it left a bruise. How did that happen?

Polymarket has millions of dollars in wildfire-related bets & more than $1M in beds were placed on the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires! DESPICABLE! THE PREDICTION MARKET PROMOTES THE OBSTRUCTION FIREFIGHTERS OR FOLKS TO GO OUT AND COMMIT ARSON! It's absolutely nuts!

I love child-inclusive archaeology so much. It *seems* obvious that kids would have directly or indirectly affected a lot of the material past we look at but it really has taken a sea change of feminist practice for anyone to even ask the questions!
Dr. Abigail Desmond@abigaildesmond.bsky.social · 3d ago15,000 years ago, in one of the the earliest settled communities in the world, a child collected fine clay from the slow-moving river by her home.

Ugh why am I doomscrolling about election returns in another state?!
