Are the cis okay?
I'm disappointed in everyone too, but not surprised. I was using Dearborn as an example. Your governor is indeed better than mine.
Right now, I'm thinking of how I can leave Michigan and head elsewhere.

Is it on record anywhere what "rights" Walz is doubling down on or supporting?Minnesota Star Tribune (@startribune.com)
Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota...bsky.app
Strikes me as likely that would have to come from federal law if the feds hold title to the land.

Piggybacking on that:Michigan's president stepped down weeks ago and announced he would be the next president at Florida. There was some backlash down in Florida about the move but Ono tried to turn the tide by saying he no longer supported DEI programs. He got through unanimously on the board of trustee vote, but lost the board of governors vote 10-6, in part because he could not deflect all their MAGA questions about his non-MAGA past.
Now he's out of a job, probably ruined his future at regular schools for trying to throw away his past, and will never be welcomed at MAGA universities because of his past.

Mallory McMorrow sent me an email this morning begging me for money. Of course, her internal polling indicates she's only 4 points behind Stevens and only 5 ahead of El Sayed. 37% remain undecided, while former MI House Speaker Joe Tate, who just entered the Dem primary race for Peters' seat a couple of weeks ago, barely registers above the floor.
My favorite line though, is this one:
To a degree, she's right to imply that no one really likes Haley Stevens all that much, except for AIPAC and rich fucks from Birmingham and West Bloomfield who keep funding/electing her. But when you're trying to position yourself as an alternative, it might be a good idea to get your policy differences out there. Right now, most people look at the two of them and don't see much of a difference.
If the primary were held today, El Sayed would get my vote. Unfortunately, it'd be futile because not enough white people in Michigan are going to vote for a guy with a Middle Eastern name, even on the Dem ballot in a closed primary. Suburban Detroit and Grand Rapids women are likely going to end up putting one of the two ladies over the finish line, but at least with McMorrow I think there's a shred of hope that she'll fight for some progressive causes. Stevens will just keep playing centrist "Pick Me" enabler.
