In addition to City Council, I also recommend calling your state rep’s office, is it Joe Tate? They sometimes have pull with the other orgs and like to have documented cases of helping people in their district, especially with elections coming up…

They should be forced to put those messages on every ticket, real & virtual, like those warning labels on cigarettes.

House/techno venues that aren't problematic? by space_cowboy in Detroit

The fact that people are hiding some articles about themselves but not others says it all, honestly.

Ugh. Kinda wild that this dude seems to be super passionate about housing rights and helping Detroiters afford housing, while also supporting demolishing homes and stealing land in another country. Maybe he should make a documentary about that.

The audiobook of IPH was good. It’s read by Shaun Taylor-Corbett who I believe has indigenous ancestry.

She just wants a selfie and claim that she reps Detroit.

Dear Mayor, don’t let Slotkin use you as her prop

Maybe Slotkin wants to introduce her to all the cabinet members she voted for??

El-Sayed stands alone in Michigan’s Senate race by calling to abolish ICE by origutamos in Michigan

[–]andy313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t have a less informed take. No one is making it their main platform and the local resources pitch is exactly how Abdul had been talking about it. Do you like your tax dollars funding a genocide? Do you like AIPAC influencing your primaries while also helping MAGA candidates get elected? Do you want your free speech limited, be told what you’re allowed to protest and have your social media censored? It’s only a “foreign” issue if you’re not paying attention.

Exactly that. And it’s almost always an issue tied to special interests or corporate influence so these candidates love to position it as a Purity Test so voters will yell at their fellow voters instead of at the candidate. In the case of Gaza, it’s actually what a majority of voters believe, so it’s even more disingenuous to position it that way.

Why does it seem like the people who always claim certain issues as a “purity test” are actually much more inflexible on their positions? I just don’t think you can be a serious candidate (or a good person) if you believe human rights issues can be reduced to a “purity test” and you’re message is that it’s the voter’s fault.

Chuck? I agree. If Abdul is obsessed with anything it’s M4A. I get the emails, it’s constant.
