These wins give Dems back their trifecta in state government. #Michigan

“In 2022, Democrats won control of both houses of the Legislature for the first time in almost 40 years. With Gov. Gretchen Whitmer also romping to reelection, the party secured unified control of Michigan government and passed a slew abortion rights, gun reform, LGBTQ+ rights and pro-labor legislation last year.”

Democrats regain full control of state House with two special election wins:

I've been following this very weird post on my "unprotected" account. The one that sees all the racist, antisemitic, misogynist, homophobic shit the fediverse produces in the normal course of the day.

This shithead makes a set of easily verifiably false allegations to try to get rid of a single user account that catalogs antisemitic content in the fediverse.

I read every post the account ever made yesterday. No truth to this at all.

And it spawns conspiracy comments from other users including accusations that this is an Israeli state actor.

What happens when fediblock is misused to target an account that catalogs, with receipts, antisemitism?

Nothing?

Very strange place yall built here.

What's the difference between this and Shitter other than having fewer people of color and Jews?

I encourage everyone to follow @endantisemitism

You may disagree with it occasionally. You may know it gets it wrong occasionally.

What a great opportunity for healthy dialogue and understanding.

He and Kushner would plow over the Gaza Strip and profit off development plus do everything Netanyahu wants. Maybe time for a new slogan though if the right can easily co-opt yours.

Because a good President doesn’t just do things for the people who voted for him. A good President and administration does things that help everyone.

"Let people have nice things," inner-Alex murmurs into my ear as I scroll the morning timeline.

Sometimes it is nice to see someone enjoy something that doesn't make sense to you. I don't personally find benefits or enjoyment in things that are popular at the moment.

The moment is fleeting, seasonally things change, and soon we will go back to the "norm". Once that happens, they won't have anything to enjoy and that makes me slightly sad for them. When the eclipse or March madness or Superbowl season or tax season or new video game patch day occurs...I see many people blister and demand that others understand their personal discontent.

I'm not a fan either, but I tend to spend my energy focused on what I am a fan of. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't feel wrong. I feel like perhaps focusing on what you are interested in, is a good way to focus.

Crime is down overall. Way down. And undocumented immigrants aren’t committing crimes anywhere near the rate of U.S. citizens anyway.

Because facts matter despite what propaganda machines tell you.

“Trump's anecdotal accounts do not acknowledge the fact that U.S. citizens commit crimes at higher rates than undocumented immigrants.”

No, migrants are not driving a surge in violent crime as Trump claims -

If someone has positive things to say about Donald Trump, in comparison to anything anywhere, that person is a Trump supporter. It’s not questionable.

I guess he desperately wants to Make America White Again (which it never really was). The “Great” was just another Trump racist smokescreen.

There isn’t racism against white people. It stupid to even consider voting for Trump. Or a third party.

I don’t celebrate a passing or at least try not to but any fawning over Joe can miss me. If he didn’t want to be taken to any task for the harm he caused after he passed, he should have been a more ethical person while alive.

It's certainly not normal for Sen. Schumer to call for new elections in Israel, but Schumer is the highest-ranking Jewish American in the last 250 years of American politics, so he's the right person to say it if it’s going to be said.

Israel deserves to have a Prime Minister who demonstrates integrity, morality, ethics and a genuine concern for humanitarian values.

This is an important read so I’m sharing it as a gift link. Gretchen Whitmar is the co-chair of Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.

She understands how important it is to re-elect him. She also understands what issues are important to run on for our future in this country. Democrats have won almost every special election since Roe v Wade was overturned and it has won on state ballot issues. This right must be protected.

Biden defeated Trump in Michigan four years ago by 154,188 votes.

Obama had an “uncommitted” protest vote here in 2012, too, of 10.69%, but I never got to ask all of them what they didn’t like about Obama. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Anyway, hope everyone can unite by November because we need it.
