WASHINGTON (AP) — Donavan McKinney wins Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Michigan's 13th Congressional District.

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.

If you’re in line at 8PM, stay in line. You have the right to vote.

I think it also revealed just how quickly a bunch of otherwise very hard problems can be to solve with global collective action. The fuckin Ganga was running clear water for the only time in my lifetime because for 2 weeks nobody threw garbage in it. The canals in Venice had fish.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

this is the kind of obstreperousness, don't tell me what to do-ness, i got rightsness that is the sheet anchor of American liberties.

the crime is fundamentally a woman criticising a man. you can tell because of all the people who think she has some sort of obligation to fluff him because...they both worked on the same topic??? and she didn't agree he was great???

For the record, this Emily Wilson Odyssey review furor is ridiculous, and largely fueled by algorithms designed to work us up over practically nothing. She wrote a very interesting review from her perspective and I personally enjoyed it. Now, it feels like people want her arrested for a crime.

This.

Republicans are trying to make the news cycle about anything other than Donald Trump and his incredibly unpopular domestic and foreign policy agenda. That’s why they set up this Fauci hearing. And everyone is taking the bait

This is abhorrent. A man-made crisis for no other reason than sheer cruelty.

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

Once again, I am recommending people google the Peshtigo fire, if they like to terrorize themselves

It's worth remembering that under the Obama administration, the U.S. restored diplomatic relations with Cuba and nothing bad happened. We should not impose a blockade that has fueled a humanitarian crisis for political reasons rather than genuine national security concerns.

It’s not THAT complicated. 🤷🏿‍♀️ #blacksky #bluesky #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

Imagine what society would look like if we gave a shit about those women. Or, indeed, about men whose lives are marked from boyhood with howling need & vulnerability that we refuse to see, beyond telling them to get over it. Imagine.
