Muskegon County just dropped. They are/were likely waiting on one final precinct to drop. Stevens is winning there by about 1500 votes. #MISen
The NYTimes is not posting splits from Muskegon County, but the county itself put up unofficial results earlier tonight: co.muskegon.mi.us/DocumentCent...
Wayne County is now reporting 60%. Stevens is retaining her 7% lead. #MISen
El-Sayed's margin is currently 33,358. McMorrow is at 46,376. 👀#MISen
Anyone know what's taking Muskegon county so long to count and post their results? #MISen
With each drop over the last several hours El-Sayed has been gaining on Stevens in Wayne County. He now trails by just 7%, earlier in the night he was losing by 12%. #MISen

Kat Abughazaleh: "We need to, first off abolish and prosecute ICE and DHS and we return DHS' responsibilities to Departments of Justice, State, of Treasury, of Transportation. All of these responsibilities that were taken from those departments... We need to repeal the Patriot Act."

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...
Have they tried unplugging it and plugging it back in or are we at the blow on cartridge stage?
Aaand wow. The Senate is now kicking the question of SB 1599 to next week, making clear Dems did not have their ducks in a row on this. A continuing trend in the transportation funding realm. #orleg #orpol
"Remigration" is a term with roots in the far-right identitarian movement in Europe. It essentially refers to a mass program of ethnic cleansing through forced migration of racial or ethnic minorities regardless of their legal status.
when it comes to less lethals you don't need ballistic armor, which is expensive bike helmet. Hockey helmets. goggles. football pads or just extra padding if it's not too hot there are always trade offs with armor but please if you go out at least protect your eyes and head.
i don’t know what to say about the images coming out of LA right now. but in case you need it, here’s a reminder that out in the streets, only water goes in your eyes. flush with water. take your clothes off when you get home & take a cool shower, wash yourself with dish soap a few times. godspeed.
I feel like this story is straight out of Tear Gas Tuesday. That's exactly what happened here too.
ICE crossed a line in LA
Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"
Asked about Trump activating the National Guard in California, Klobuchar quickly pivots to talking about the economy and healthcare
Hearing from various press members, there are *at least* three accredited journalists who have been hospitalized today due to law enforcement less lethal munitions. @adamrose.bsky.social and others will likely be able to update further.
FOX calling Homeland Security ”the bad guys” on their livestream of deportation riots in LA June 7 2025.
lol, this livestream =D "can you fly back and pan and pan to the bad guys again, sorry homeland security" It's the producer speaking, unclear if he knows he is on tv. And it is freaking FOX! =D www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4e_...
Why is ICE allowed to wear masks but not regular people?
NEW President Trump says masks will not be allowed to be worn at protests. He does not have the authority to ban masks at protests.
seconding this. if you get hit directly in the head with an impact munitions like this or a grenade go immediately to the ER. don't stay to protest with your friends. Don't try to be "tough". your night or day is done. seek medical care
Head injuries like Sean's are very serious. Go immediately to the ER even if the victim is alert and talking. Brain swelling has a short delay and bleeds can start later. You can be fine one minute and dead within an hour.
folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff -Water for tear gas -sudecon wipes for mace -if no sudecon, wash mace with water
Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.
This is quite the Kia commercial.
They just lit up this car with the driver in it
