following last night’s victories, here is a map of the constituencies represented by @detroitdsa electeds
red = congress
light red = state house
pink = city council
@Ken0zdyj@AbdulElSayed AIPAC does not give a single shit about America beyond what it can do for Isreal. You only love AIPAC if you believe in Isreal first and them committing genocide. Gtfo with that bullshit
@JCSFG49fan@celistar99@StephenKing They are absolutely not my people. They are everything that is currently wrong with the democratic party. They are spineless, centrist hacks that don't actually care about progress. I hope they all join the Republicans because they'd fit better with them.
@JCSFG49fan@celistar99@StephenKing 1. There's a distinct difference between democratic socialism and communism. Conflating the two just highlights your ignorance.
2. Bill Maher is a fucking idiot centrist and no one should listen to him
3. None of those are communists. They are closer to progressive liberals.
DSA is proud to endorse @313CGH for Michigan’s State House.
As a lifelong Detroiter, environmental activist, and union member, Chris is running to hold corrupt utility companies like DTE accountable and to make life more affordable for all. Chris is ready to fight for housing protections, single-payer healthcare, and for publicly owned utilities – because Chris knows that workers deserve more.
@SteveGregorio75@JezziiB I'm actually shocked at how stupid this reply is. Are you saying you shouldn't think rationally before having kids? Also, it's disgusting to talk about a child like that, and you are directly proving her point.
Michigan's 11th district needs more attention. Aisha Farooqi is running and is the best potential candidate, but she's not doing as well as I'd hope. She needs a Piker Bump @hasanthehun (plus this is Haley Stevens' current district, and I don't want another AIPAC stooge)
@OgreTusk1 @tufpraise Gender affirming surgery: medical treatment to support and affirm an individual’s gender identity.
These men identify as men and believe that having breasts makes them feel less like men. They get the surgery to affirm their gender. Easy as that bro.
@Nglmia_x I had a similar situation but with my mom and step dad. My step dad was abusive and used to get into physical fights with me and my brother (we were 12-16 so it was more like beatings). We'd tell her but she'd never fully believe us or would say he was "only human"
@strategery_mr@Snead1963@Burrastb@em_Lazzy Do politicians scapegoat the rich? A handful do target the rich, but the vast majority do not. The reason for that is because they get paid to ignore the rich. The ultimate goal of rich people is to accumulate more wealth, and that involves changing laws and exploiting workers
@strategery_mr@Snead1963@Burrastb@em_Lazzy Please explain to me how the rich are not to blame. What good do they provide? How is it politicians and not the rich? I believe they're both to blame and they each play a role in making everything suck. They have a symbiotic relationship with each other
@strategery_mr@em_Lazzy This tweet makes me sad because you've completely lost the plot. Yes, it's the rich, and yes, it's the politicians. Money in politics and capitalism are the reasons why everything sucks. The rich pay the politicians to create laws that allow them to get richer. They ignore us.
@DBZimran My childhood best friend had parents that would randomly destroy his shit and they called it parenting. For example, they found his iPod and smashed it on rocks because he forgot to mow the lawn. This kid is now in prison for life. It sounds like an exaggeration.. but it's not.
