Poll: 30% of GOP voters support bombing Agrabah, the city from Aladdin Public Policy Polling also found that about 54% of the Republicans they polled support banning Muslims from entering the US, as Donald Trump has proposed

Yep, all of whom also responded in favor of bombing "Agrabah"

Omg

I bet a chunk of that 15% is also just responding to the name

Yeah but don't make this leap

"Bullshit jobs" is frankly graeber [whom i really like] at his worst anyway

Too many curries though. This is the cost of colonial crimes.

I grudgingly have to admit i kind of like England

The Michigan news is just fully sinking in for me this morning. We can win elections. In Michigan, in a lot more of the US, in India, everywhere. We can get rid of terrible people and groupings and replace them with much better ones.

Of course early successes are not perfect models, in no small part because the opposition playbook has usually not yet coalesced. But nor is any of this inevitable, and the more fronts are opened the more we win.

And on a more systemic level, it's huge. These Regent and board of governors seats can be contested in many key places. A lot of good can be done on a lot of levels - and a lot of bad or indifferent governance can be flushed away.

Whatever the criticisms of his replacement - and yes, let's hold him to the highest standard, to be sure - this is just an unbelievably good development for progress in the world. On a personal note, it honestly makes me feel so much better about doing my job (which I love in substance). Thank you!

Eli Savit, progressive prosecutor for Washtenaw County (home to Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti) wins Dem nomination for Attorney General.

Unbelievably good news. Again, thank you

Results are out and the left wing of the Michigan Democrats had a near total sweep today in Detroit. Out of 8 endorsements by the People’s Coalition, for instance, all but one won the party’s endorsement today. A victory like this for leftists & progressives was hard to imagine just a few years ago.

My big takeaway before voting gets underway at Michigan Dems convention: the energy for the left candidates is absolutely nuts this year. Abdul gets huge standing ovation, especially after call to Abolish ICE; Stevens ($9 million+ from AIPAC) gets sustained boos from beginning to end of her speech.

Image from Michigan Democratic convention. Abdul El Sayed, candidate for U.S. Senate, is on stage. Large crowd applauding.

Biggest round of applause at the MI Dems convention today was Abdul El-Sayed and it wasn’t even close. Multiple standing ovations.

Thank you for being there!!

Widow's Plans for Her Final Years Upended as Proposed Data Center Leads to 28 Evictions in One Neighborhood (Exclusive) Residents of Meadowland Village Mobile Home Park in Kentucky, many of them elderly, disabled, retired, or on fixed incomes, are opening up to PEOPLE about being told they had roughly 90 days to vacate...

In Maysville, Kentucky, dozens of elderly and disabled residents are being evicted from their mobile homes in order to allow for construction of a giant data center

“They just up and said you have 90 days to move ... Now, I'm going to be homeless because I'm going to lose my home.”

Everyone in the relationship mutually consented to harass others

Amazing to hear the good news from afar about the michigan dem convention nominations. Wins up and down the ballot: Amir Makled for Regent, Eli Savit for AG, Garlin Gilchrist for sos. Thanks to everyone back home who made this happen

I have been feeling very nostalgic for an unwalled discursive space like blog circles with comment sections, eg blogspot and wordpress writers who were networked up through RSS but I don’t know if it’s possible to return to that bsky.app/profile/wend...

Partly I still do it because I'm still (just) finishing the main thing I was doing, or trying to do, when I was on Twitter - after that not totally sure!

Just horrifying to watch once excellent universities voluntarily destroying themselves.

I still do it but it certainly is not the same

The cartoon is indeed very stupid

Appreciating your commitment to this theme

I think it deserves to get explored further. I believe it, but am def not making a full case... (I just think the particular branch of law I am looking at in this chapter validates it)

It's just not a completely straightfwd correlation- because it was mainly still proprietary firms in which the newly generalized form of Master/Servant was getting worked out...

Of course (But also wonder about the role of the commercial interests you mentioned, which I think fit this timeline too - insofar as the long distance biz corporations ofc appeared much earlier than the domestic ones)
