Corporations spent $60 million trying to defeat Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, who overcame a 10-to-1 spending deficit and won anyway. The man ran on simple ideas: end aid to Israel, Medicare for All, and end big money in politics. The people want solutions to problems. That’s it.

I think even more than Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed winning confirms we’re in a “Dem tea party” political moment. Where the change people want is so intense and uniform that even hordes of money can’t beat it bc thousands of people are ready to knock thousands of doors each for what they believe in.

Michigan Senate Democratic Primary Ad Support

$63.9 million to Haley Steven’s 
$7.3 million to Abdul El-Sayed 
$9.7 million to “Other”

*Ad support includes candidate and groups spending or opposing candidates. Other includes spending supporting candidates who have suspended their campaigns. Reservations as of 7/31.

Michigan: Today is election day and a chance to build our progressive majority in the Senate and elect Abdul El-Sayed. We need him as a Senator who will fight back against corporate interests, abolish ICE, and stand up for Medicare for All. Get out and vote for Abdul today.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

Andy Burnham fans after he states he’s got the same position as Starmer on fucking over immigrants, disabled people, trans people, student protestors, and anyone who wants to rejoin the EU or do electoral reform: “wow it’s so nice he phrases this in a way that lets me pretend he’s more progressive”

App developer MFs will really design their app to switch on all the “annoy the piss out of you for no good fucking reason” notifications, conceal it in the third layer of an unitutive menu, and then make the bottom face at me when I keep the whole app’s notifications off.

remember how Riley Gaines’ swimming coach raped a bunch of her teammates? then when her career path became TV Nazi she defended him and he claimed he was being targeted for standing up against trans women in sports? anyway she cares deeply about women and girls being safe.
