The co-founder of the 2024 National Uncommitted Movement, Abbas Alawieh, decisively won his primary to become a State Senator in Michigan. Abbas was endorsed by both Bernie Sanders and Gretchen Whitmer. Abbas Alawieh also privately met with former VP Kamala Harris last month upon her request.

I pitched both of my usual outlets about the Cunningham stuff, one said yes, one said not right now. In 2019 I would have had a dozen editors competing for my words on this.

It’s true, in the past I would have had multiple editors in my inbox asking me to write about the Cunningham stuff. I haven’t gotten a single assignment request. Trans writers used to be tokenized to write about these things but now that the topic is “mainstream,” those bylines go elsewhere.

Has anyone taken a remote and or online bookkeeping course that like has some form of recognizable certification

how much money have they sunk into this dipshit right winger appeal that didnt work

Trans debate isn’t over

honestly im really enjoying the trial and error of using technology by hand like tableau/excel to really get a sense of working with data. I don't think I would be having these concepts click the same if I ran it all through AI

AIPAC is the biggest source of Republican money in Democratic elections, and now they are making clear they will spend even more to defeat Democrats in November. They advocate for policies the vast majority of Democrats viscerally disagree with. No Democrat should be taking money from AIPAC.

ok now that he won, Michigan voters : www.youtube.com/shorts/vh4du...

Decision makers in federal, state, and local governments, along with the people charged with shepherding your retirement funds, cannot stop giving this guy as much money as they possibly can.

Elon is talking about using robots to build a mass accelerator on the moon in support of an economy 1000x to 1 million times the current earth economy. It's a bad sci fi novel not an earnings call.

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

We have higher rates of kidney and bladder problems compared to the general population, and historically rather than address this, medicine has chosen to either ignore it or blame our healthcare. Nope, turns out marginalization just destroys bodies. Quelle surprise.

When the race was close yesterday libs were already telling DSA people to kiss the ring. Now they’re still gonna demand kiss the ring

Do centrist Dems realize that the incentive structure they're establishing by admonishing one of the few major Arab American figures who unequivocally endorsed Harris despite nothing being conceded on Gaza? The lesson for those Arabs will be to uh, not do that again.

#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 4w ago

"Arab American endorses the Democratic nominee for president even though she refused to budge on the question of whether or not Palestinians being killed by US made bombs was bad" doesn't make the Arab American in question look bad, it makes the person attacking them look bad.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Unfathomable

i really have no patience whatsoever for people who are scared of muslims having elected office

ATTENTION EVERYONE ATTENTION THE HUMAN TORCH HAS FINALLY SHAVED HIS MUSTACHE

women have two roles in these videos. in three of them women are victims of foreign men. but this one is different: a woman is portrayed as a collaborator, a "foreign lackey" who serves foreign interests. this is an established gendered trope too bsky.app/profile/many...

More about this in my latest newsletter, where I unpack this trend.

male insecurity off the charts

Chinese viral AI videos are turning foreigners into villains, flooding Chinese social media. They depict foreigners as threats to China’s social, moral, and national order. Strong, confident Chinese people confront, violently beat, and humiliate them in defense of their country. See more below🧵

people love a "Chinese versus American" story so much. Zhong Shu has had all her education since high school in the US and is doing a PhD in political philosophy (specialisation in classics) in an American university.

It’s funny because we do this thing where Black voters are pathologized, literally, every election cycle.

brent sewer socialist🚰🌹@therealbrent.bsky.social · 14h ago

So El-Sayed is doing better with Black voters and worse with white voters than most people imagined? That’ll be fun for The Discourse.

Goodnight

perhaps my six thousand mcmorrow votes were a mistake. you live and learn.

This is a visual representation of my brain reading bluesky liberal posts before I block them

There’s a guy on TikTok who posts just him taking a pizza out of the oven every day with tongs and all of the comments are about how their day is ruined from having watched this

When people of color pointed out the slapdash description of race in her post we got labeled mean lol

Chronically Creamy And confused

Incredible

Pardon me while I gas myself on a Tuesday evening: Imagine all these comics publishers treating me like I'm not a factor. 3 Eisner noms, 1500+ published pages, writing/drawing/painting/coloring/logo design, made all the right connections, etc. Timely, strong work ethic. Well-liked. BUT, Arab...

Cover WIP I might make an alt identity à la Akira Yoshida where I pretend to be a white guy or a South American and see if that guy gets more opportunities to draw big blue 😂
