Absolutely wild that El-Sayed got more votes AND a bigger margin in Gerald Ford’s hometown and former Republican stronghold of Grand Rapids than he did in hippie lefty Ann Arbor. AES +43 in Grand Rapids, +31 in Ann Arbor.
VoteHub projects William Lawrence to win the Democratic primary for Michigan U.S. House District 7.
good reminder that before the counting is over, election results don’t tighten. at no point is anyone trailing. nobody moves closer. they’re just tabulating the polls. it’s a fixed number that just isn’t done yet. to say otherwise is bad journalism but even worse math.
Two wins for abortion rights: Voters in Kansas and Missouri easily defeated ballot measures that could have threatened abortion access in their states
There is no universe where Stevens loses Macomb (as she currently is), barely wins Oakland (as she currently is) and wins Wayne by 20.
Based on current returns, Stevens needs at least +20 margin out of Wayne to close the gap. Could narrow based on the e-day - absentee breakdown She’s at +1 right now
Stevens is neck-and-neck with Abdul El-Sayed in Oakland and Macomb Counties. She needed to run away with these places to even be competitive with AES.

The Trump years have turned this question into a proxy for "do you hate foreigners?" It makes sense, as the face of protectionism is the most prolific racist and xenophobe in modern American history, but it's amazing how quickly it happened.

Bringing this back bc multiple people DMed me to say they agree and, despite having a positive self-image, don’t engage with FCF for this reason. To the well-meaning response “but all _____ are fat on Friday!”, I get it but why are we still forcing people to claim conventional desirability? (1/3)
I hate talking about Bluesky on Bluesky but, gays, I must say that “pretty” is a lot more fun and accessible than “fat.”

“Get off the train, 5 6 7 8” — Tiffany Ann Co singing Danceteria
Watching the Pan Am bombing series on Netflix and am losing my mind at how obvious it is that the DC scenes are filmed in Toronto. Like yes this is famously what Washington DC looks like.
If you want to see some cool shots of Toronto, watch Netflix’s “I Will Find You,” which is set in Boston and New York.
This being the song that got the Kylie collab. My impact!!!
Love Sensation makes me strangely emotional, I feel like it captures a kind of optimism I haven’t felt in a while 🥲
