With the Christa Pike situation in Tennessee, I'm really thanksful that Michigan is one of the first places to ban capital punishment.

What I'm hearing is the Eminem lyrics are fake, repeat the Eminem lyrics are apparently fake (and a lot of folks with credibility who bought into it have...quietly deleted). Having said that? His decision to collaborate with Kid Rock is...quite bad

For the Senator Schmitt Hawks/Hawkeye gaffe, here's a theory: it wasn't andumb mistake but, rather an attempt to do a hit job and drop "collusion" & "perjury" charges on camera and not give anyone a chance to refute. The way he didn't want others to see it makes me think he tried to pull a fast one

BILLIONAIRES: We’re not ‘confiscating’ anything. 45 years ago, you made society a promise that if we reduced your taxes, you would use some of that money to improve conditions for all Americans. Instead, you chose to do the opposite. You had a great ride…your greed is why we’re here. ➡️ TAX THE RICH!

“Dear billionaires, we’re not “confiscating” anything. 45 years ago, you made society a promise that if we reduced your tax bill, you would use some of that money to improve conditions for all Americans. Instead, you chose to do the opposite. That was the choice you made. So now we’re demanding to go back to what worked before - taxing you at the proper rate. You had a great ride, but, let’s be clear - your greed is why we’re here.”

Prediction hat- Jocelyn Benson despite being ignored on Bluesky and criticized by Dems on facebook, probably wins Governor by more than Dr El-Sayed wins US Senate. Though to be fair, from the digital a d TV ads I'm seeing, James has already been triaged as I'm seeing almost nothing

While I'm no one terribly important, in my time I've been in some rooms. And the folks I've been blessed to know have, for the most part, been good people. Candidates and insiders in the MDP botj. And I've been blessed to know so many. Are there flaws? Sure, we're talking about people, but good

Congratulations Marcy Kaptur, you just threw gas on the fire for (likely) no electoral advantage. If the wave was big enough for you to survive a Trump 55-44 district, throwing trans people under the bus wasn't gonna help. All it did was add fuel to the "Dems are becoming UK Labour" group.

Just going to point out that yes, despite some problematic people at and graduated from UPenn on the non - #medicine side, the Children’s Hospital of #Philadelphia ( a #UPenn affiliate) has never wavered on offering gender affirming care www.chop.edu/centers-prog...
chop.edu
Gender and Sexuality Development Program
The Gender and Sexuality Development Program supports gender nonconforming, gender expansive and transgender children and youth. Some children and youth identify their gender as different from the sex they were assigned at birth. Affirming your child's gender identity and allowing them to explore their gender and sexuality is crucial for their well-being and resilience. We can help. The Gender and Sexuality Development Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) supports children and young adults who are gender nonconforming, gender expansive and transgender. Parents, patients, and families are central to our care at CHOP and are a critical part of our evaluation and care planning. We also provide consultation and training for providers interested in learning how to better serve the needs of gender nonconforming youth.

In the recent era throwing your party's incumbent president under the bus has not worked in saving you from a midterm wave (see 1994 & 2010 where running away from Clinton & Obama saved no one). So the fact they are doing this is essentially the Hail Mary pass as they try to save their own asses

Would it be wrong for me to suggest positive action resulting from complaints about Talarico? Like volunteering or donating to pro trans rights candidates such as Dr El-Sayed in MI or (per search info) Troy Jackson in ME for US senate? I'm also sure there's a number in important Gov races too

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.
