It seems like most analyses even within DSA completely omit the time table and urgency of climate change nor it's long term impacts on the world

[Aisha Farooqi @AishaforMI]

Let’s be honest here, no matter how some will try to spin it there is nothing that justifies what @GovWhitmer just did.

The only parties benefitting from her vetos are corporations.

What a blatant betrayal.

[susie 𓆟 @_qwertygrl]

the central contradiction of DSA rn is that the anti-AOC camp within our org is massively overrepresented on the NPC. the “left” NPCers know that, which is why theyre aggressively equivocating & scrambling to punt direct member input on the explicit question as far as they can

[Sam Robinson @samueljrob]

five streetcar lines on Jefferson, Gratiot, Woodward, Grand River and Michigan would save me

[Mike from PA @Mike_from_PA]

Personally I believe we in DSA should not delay our work on the Presidential campaign, if we do we become a passenger at best in the project instead of the pilot.

[aaron from queens 🇵🇸 @aaronnarraph]

Tomorrow, the same DSA caucuses that voted to publicly sever ties with AOC are poised to strip 120,000+ DSA members of their right to vote on a candidate for president, and delay an endorsement decision to August 2027.

Do we want to lead a socialist presidential campaign or not?

[Groundwork @GroundworkDSA]

Groundwork member Phil B and @DSASocMaj member Amelia D argue that DSA must endorse AOC as soon as possible to position ourselves as the campaign's core team. Kicking the decision to August 2027 weakens the organization and disenfranchises our members. https://t.co/ASMzmdis4Q

I hear about folks leaving DSA to join these little small sects and front groups and I don’t begrudge anybody their choices but it’s still dumb. Leaving the largest socialist organization in American history to join some dogshit sect that won’t exist in a year and a half for what? You want a pure line, guess what, there ain’t one. You gotta struggle and be with the masses. None of these little groups is going to organize or lead any revolution. They didn’t in 1969, they aren’t in 2026. Where’s the mass base? You’re going to end up fighting each other over stupid shit, then you will split, or wither into irrelevance. Sects always split, or end up like the sad old mfs from the RCP.

It’s like those rich white kids that dropped out of college in the ‘60s and ran off to Nepal and India or San Francisco to find themselves and look for purity and ended up in People’s Temple or the Rajneeshees. Individualist decisions and thinking you’re smarter than everybody else bites you in the ass. You wanna sell newspapers and write polemics that nobody gives a fuck about, that’s your choice. You’ll be back when you’re ready for the real work.

Just a reminder that AIPAC actually has three formally endorsed Democrat candidates in Michigan, aside from the candidates that they are supporting more discreetly, two of which - Hillary Scholten & Shri Thanedar - you can directly donate to via AIPAC's "political portal":

Incredible political instincts

[Haley Stevens @HaleyforMI]

not Abdul leading the uncommitted movement

[We Good in the North @WWFerguson2]

If MI HD-08 needed another reason to vote for Chris Gilmer-Hill (@313CGH), well...here it is. There is no one in the Michigan Dem Caucus DTE loves more than Rep. Helena Scott, and they are pretty fond of Haley Stevens, too.

Ferndale, Detroit, Pleasant Ridge, you know what to do.

[Josh Lohrke 🌹🚲🚎🚇 @Mopey024]

at least most people get it right #Detroit

[Observing The City @observinthecity]

Where is downtown? It's an endless debate. I have made a tool that will finally settle it.

Choose a city, add your definition of downtown, and compare it to the general public. Then share your map on social media!

[Stephen Semler @stephensemler]

Haley Stevens "seemed generally impressed with [ICE] during the visit and their treatment of detainees. 'Of note, there is female leadership here, and there are women who walked with us today and explained...how important it is to treat people with humanity,' Stevens said."

[Josh Lohrke 🌹🚲🚎🚇 @Mopey024]

Such a fitting pair, and turning off comments I've heard is the sign of a successful campaign

[Haley Stevens @HaleyforMI]

My good friend State Rep. Helena Scott and I hit the sidewalk to talk to Michiganders! I'm in the fight to lower costs and expand health care access for all Michiganders.

[Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender]

Wow, Donavan McKinney going after Rep. Shri Thanedar in #MI13 with a brutal new ad called "sick puppy"

The spot is centered on an alleged 2010 incident in which 170 dogs and monkeys were rescued from one of Thanedar's pharmaceutical labs after it went into receivership.

[Alexander Lacherbauer @lacherbauer]

Extend the Brown Line to Jefferson Park, extend the Green Line to Midway, and build a new elevated line on Western Avenue to reduce travel times along the city's longest north-south corridor and improve access to both O'Hare and Midway.

[Joshipooo @izme_josh]

And yet the French have a decent rail system, paid family leave, paid sick leave, a social safety net, 99% literacy, a younger retirement age, higher life expectancy, and so on

[umichvoter @umichvoter]

Abdul ground game vs Stevens ground game
