like i said, probably would've disappeared on stevens and then the seat would've been lost (because slotkin *barely* won against rogers, and stevens is even less popular than slotkin was). but now aipac is doubling down on their effort to nip this anti-zionist movement in the bud

what's "funny" is aipac probably would've ghosted stevens if she won, because then it'd be zionist vs zionist (rogers has taken half a million from aipac already) and it wouldn't have mattered that much to them who won. but now that it's AES vs rogers, they might double down on the general campaign.
Unfathomable
Mike Rogers wants us divided. But there is so much more that unites us than sets us apart. The power is ours. This land was made for you and me.
The rules of the game have changed. Because of you, Michigan. We cannot be bought. Onto November.
They are a disgrace and bring the charity sector into disrepute.🔻

Evidence schmevidence! They know most politicians can't resist voting based on "Won't somebody think of the children!?" Particularly when it involves expanding surveillance of the public.
Flock executives appear to be exploiting rescues of abducted children in order to justify or promote use of Flock surveillance, but there is such a dearth of evidence as to cases solved with help from Flock
New: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to create a pretext to search a man's car for weed. Their justification? He drove from Wisconsin to Michigan, a “known source state for marijuana as it is legal there,” and Flock showed he "travels to Michigan frequently." www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...
Palestinian and Israeli protesters staged a sit-in at the Religious Zionist Party’s headquarters in Shoham on Wednesday. Demonstrators accused far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s party of funding outposts linked to settler attacks in the occupied West Bank.
Imagine losing faith in a washed-up former Fox News host who won't produce a list of designated "terrorist" and "drug trafficking" organisations against whom lethal military force is permitted by the regime.
The reasons for dissent are not unanimous, ranging from the war in Iran to an overhaul of military leadership.

It's almost like supporting atrocities against humans is unpopular among voting humans
These three candidates in Michigan came for the establishment. They all just won. A movement is building.
An exception to the 13th Amendment exception allows involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime, and Taylor Farms exploited that slave labor to the tune of $11 billion in 2022 alone.¹
I am Jeanne’s complete lack of surprise.
"Aid support" is one hell of a euphemism for "genocide funding"
love to see it
The primary results in Michigan should serve as a reminder to not be fooled by polls. Remember 2016.
Under ICE's new policy, "people who die shortly after being released are not required to be reported ... The change, Menendez said, “is meant to keep the number of deaths that are being reported in ICE custody to as low of a number as possible."

The 50-Year Atmospheric Horizon Part 1: Human Physiology and Background Air In February 2026, researchers published a 21-year population study in the scientific journal Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health (Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health). The authors examined blood sample data from over 70,000
Me, when I see elected officials share and comment on a news article they haven’t read: “The literacy crisis is out of control.”
Settler violence has ramped up too: members of Israel’s hard right are in a "desperate scramble to promote the settlement mission while consolidating the support of the settler minority that [Finance Minister Bezalel] Smotrich grew up within" before the October elections.¹
A journalist covering events was severely beaten by Israeli soldiers, while locals were also attacked.
Part 2: Systemic Limits and the Earth System As of 2025, Earth system scientists at the Stockholm Resilience Centre confirm that six of the nine global planetary boundaries have been transgressed (Stockholm Resilience Centre). These boundaries define the safe operating limits for human
The Secretary of Explosive Diarrhea is launching his cooking show with salmon and ... salad. Speaking of salad, a 2023 report exposed Taylor Farms, recently notorious for its cyclospora-infested lettuce, as having used slave labor:

The Republicrats are having the kind of night that they should have received decades ago. It's long past time for them to go to their own place and gum their tasteless, Wall Street oatmeal for the remaining wasteland of their political lives.
Oh man I can barely hear the cicadas tonight for all the gnashing of establishment Democrat teeth.
It would involve admitting certain things about their "friends across the aisle" that they seem incapable of doing. Not that they all trust each other, but the real dynamic is "Seersucker Suit day" photos, cute bets over whose team will win the championship, and other signs of bipartisan comity.
I do too. Unfortunately the so called opposition is just as lazy and other than Al Green, none of them seem to have any political will to act like they believe the things they tell us when fundraising. They didn't get into politics to be the kind of opposition party the situation requires.
They're incompetent, but even so they're still really dangerous. We're lucky so many of them are as stupid and lazy as they are or we'd be in even worse trouble.
If these men can't control their urges to insert themselves into women's private healthcare decisions in deadly ways, then they should be chemically castrated or otherwise rendered less harmful to women and society.
Cornyn and Tillis both signed off on a letter dated July 15 that urged Blanche to use the DOJ's might to "stop the abortion industry’s unlawful and unsafe mail-order abortion drug practice."
