Here is some context for Oakland & Macomb being unwilling to spend a dollar south of 8 Mile on the RTA.

Sam Robinson has done some of the best reporting and voter outreach in and around Detroit.
While seemingly every other day another national outlet platforms a random Bloomfield millionaire as a spokesperson for “Democrats for Rogers,”
I put far more trust in Robinson’s reporting and the voters he actually speaks to.
National pundits are openly questioning whether Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign has done enough to win over Black voters, despite polling showing he’s up big among the demographic. These voters aren't buying the narrative El-Sayed will struggle in Detroit. michiganchronicle.com/despit…

Okay, yeah, shut this whole farce down, already. Councilman @DenzMcCampbell was asking completely pertinent and 'decent' questions. If Dan's people are going to act like this, he can do this on his own. A "gift" and you're coming hat-in-hand with an attitude to the city? Bye.

Narco Rubio continues his project to turn Miami into The Hague’s Wario
As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States.
The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio .
From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.

i find it hilarious that after decades of squeezing every last drop of blood out of the middle class, now capitalists are complaining that not enough people are eating at restaurants, taking trips, using airlines, or buying crap from box stores.

Imagine being so unlikeable (Vivek Ramaswamy) that your own 8th grade teacher protests you

notable slip by Fleisher, CEO of Detroit's biggest privately owned real estate company, as he raises that the RenCen nonprofit would be structured to allow lobbying: "As much fun as this is, we may want to retire from politics after this."

Just watched a guy with a huge flat screen tv in his arms staggering down the block until he came to an old pushcart a "free" sign sitting on the curb. He put the tv down, raised his hands in the air, said, "thank God," loaded the tv on the cart, and went his way.

fuuuuck I did this and now my daughter is on the Board of Commissioners for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
We got a heinous anti-Abdul mailer yesterday pretending to be from a Black voter org, but if you google the group they’re actually just AIPAC.
I got so mad about it that I added lighting to our Abdul yard sign so it can also be seen at night
It has been wild to move from Hamtown to south Oak Park and go from receiving AIPAC mailers targeted at Muslim voters to AIPAC mailers targeted at Black voters.
Always condescending, always manipulative, often mentioning Kamala Harris even if she’s not remotely on the ballot
