@libsoftiktok Michigan isn’t even top 5. Yes Dearborn, 1 city, has a high concentration. But there’s far worse states in this country keep throwing uneducated hate at MI though.
This is Dearborn Michigan to all of the confused people and this has been going on since the early 2000s. Why a dude from Florida (which has twice as many Muslims) is choosing to cherry pick Dearborn videos to slander the whole state is beyond me. These people have been here for decades. It’s not new. I’m not saying I’m cool with it. But quit referring to Dearborn videos to assume all of Michigan is like this. It’s not. It’s Detroit metro.
I’m an hour away from Detroit and very rarely ever see a hijab. This is what isolated means:
The Detroit metropolitan area (Wayne + Oakland + Macomb counties and surrounding areas) is repeatedly described as the center of Michigan’s Muslim population, with community and media estimates of 200,000–250,000. This is consistent with Michigan’s statewide total of roughly 240,000–270,000. https://t.co/KfSsdraszQ
Almost all of the state’s Muslims are concentrated in the greater Detroit region (especially Dearborn, Hamtramck, and parts of Wayne County). Exact city-level figures for Detroit proper remain estimates only, because religion is not counted in the Census

CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) estimates for Muslim populations:
��� Florida: Approximately 500,000 Muslim residents. This figure is repeatedly cited by CAIR-Florida and reported in multiple outlets, including a December 2025 Associated Press / Religion News Service article covering CAIR-Florida’s response to Governor DeSantis. CAIR-Florida has also publicly described the community as “500,000+ strong.” https://t.co/C2C9fRNcmj
• Michigan: No recent, specific statewide total population figure directly attributed to CAIR (or CAIR-Michigan) appears in the same prominent way as the Florida number. CAIR-Michigan primarily focuses on civil rights complaints and advocacy rather than releasing updated headcount estimates. Broader community and research estimates for Michigan typically range from roughly 240,000 to 270,000+.

@APARTHEID_USA@DefiantLs Not saying it’s ok. Simply stating the fact that this isn’t some new problem in Dearborn. It’s an old one. It needs clarification.
@HonoluluBlues_ They’re too stupid to trade him. Re-sign Mize. You already have Melton and Valdez. Jobe is back next year. I’d flip Skubal to the highest bidder in a second.

Why air on Netflix? You support this shit?
Netflix Kids LGBTQ Facts:
Netflix has 41% of G-rated and 41% of TV-Y7 kids shows packed with LGBTQ/trans content — including trans characters, non-binary leads, and same-sex themes (CWA analysis of 2025-2026 programming). Overall, 33% of all children’s titles include it.
They even run an official “LGBTQ+ Stories for Families” section marketing this for family viewing: Dead End: Paranormal Park (trans/non-binary main character), Ridley Jones (non-binary bison changing name/pronouns), Heartstopper, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Nimona & more.

Just the facts.
Bullet-Point Plan: Ultra-Minimal Publicly Funded Elections (Websites + Debates Only)
• Qualification to Run (the tricky part, solved cleanly): Every candidate must: • Meet basic constitutional requirements (age, citizenship, residency). • Pass a short, non-partisan civics test (50 multiple-choice questions on Constitution, government structure, and current election laws — administered online by the state election board, same for everyone, graded instantly). • Personally collect 1,000 voter signatures (or 0.5% of registered voters in the district, whichever is smaller) — no paid gatherers, no staff, no petitions mailed out. Candidate does it themselves, door-to-door or at public events, with voter ID verification. This keeps it fair, cheap, and weeds out unserious people without money tests or party gatekeepers.
• Public Funding (tiny & equal): Once qualified, each candidate gets one fixed, identical public grant (e.g., $15k–$25k for Senate race, scaled by office size). That’s it — no more, no private donations, no self-funding allowed, no super PACs. Money covers only: travel to mandatory debates, basic internet/printing for their own research, and submitting materials. Candidates handle everything personally; zero staff salaries permitted.
• What Candidates Can Do: • Personally research and write their own policy positions. • Submit a standardized 5-page bio + position paper + short video (max 5 minutes) to the single official government website. • Participate in 4–6 mandatory live, televised debates (neutral moderator, equal time, no audience plants). That’s literally all. Voters go to one neutral .gov site to compare everyone side-by-side.
• What Is Strictly Banned (zero tolerance): • No campaign signs, yard signs, billboards, or merchandise of any kind. • No ads anywhere — TV, radio, social media, mail, digital, or otherwise. • No staff, consultants, volunteers, or paid help. • No outside groups, parties, or dark money spending on their behalf. • No self-promotion outside the official website and debates.
• Enforcement & Penalties: State election board runs everything with automatic audits. Any violation (hidden spending, signs, ads, staff) = immediate disqualification + 5-year ban from future runs + repayment of public funds. Heavy fines for billionaires or groups trying to skirt rules.
This system costs taxpayers almost nothing compared to today’s billions, forces candidates to actually know civics and do the work themselves, and lets voters focus purely on ideas instead of money and noise. Regular people could finally run without selling out.
