We've spent so much effort, for so long, to get this. And they lit so much money on fire. Imagine how much community organizing $60 million could have gotten in Michigan. But organized community wasn't the goal.
El-Sayed numbers truly INSANE this is a movement
El-Sayed is projected to win the Michigan Democratic Senate primary and will go up against Mike Rogers in November
University of Michigan voters have a 100% El-Sayed precinct right now.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." —FDR, 1936
The president took on a vanity project, gave no-bid contracts to contractors who screwed it up, made up a story about vandals to cover it up, and then fomented a felony prosecution against an innocent scapegoat. You could impeach for anything he's done but "This asshole is out of control" is a layup
When you slow down and think about it you realize it's ten times worse than it seems. Sure it's farcical, but it's also a brutal legal attack on a man they knew to be innocent, done to distract from their own thievery and incompetence and as a flex to terrify anyone who might make them look bad.
Judge Esther Salas: I can’t remember a time when we had leaders literally calling us monsters and criminals, which, unfortunately, we’ve been called by the leader of this country.
That Israel has escaped legal reckoning for its horrific crimes against humanity exposes a profound crisis not only in the execution of international law, but in our collective understanding of what the laws of justice and norms of decency demand.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Talarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.
