I'm not a fan of deploying the heckler's veto, even though that tactic has been routinely used by the far left on Michigan's campus. I did, however, sign up for a spot! If chants of "USA! USA!" break out during Piker's moment with the microphone, it wasn't me!

@TradeUnionJake Thank you - we have the same problem with Republicans. It’s time to put an end to party selected candidates.

Very nervous that Democrats are poised to nominate Gilchrist over his more experienced opponent. His opponent has a lot of support from clerks who actually run elections. Trusting a minuscule and extremely motivated constituency of whomever shows up for a meeting is bad.

Prediction - the Democrat primary for Michigan’s US Senate seat is about to become a 2 Girlboss race. 🫣

WATCH: Former community safety staffer for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Manny Whitfield, is speaking out. Whitfield says he and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Garien Gatewood were fired by mayoral aide and police abolitionist Kennedy Bartley after putting police abolitionist Alyx Goodwin on a performance improvement plan.

NEW: More details are emerging on Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s surprise firing of Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Garien Gatewood. Sources close to Johnson’s office claim Gatewood filed a complaint late last year with the inspector general’s office, alleging unethical practices and a hostile work environment. I’m also told Gatewood was fired while attempting to put Senior Policy Advisor Alyx Goodwin on a performance improvement plan. Goodwin previously worked as an activist supporting police and prison abolition alongside Kennedy Bartley, who is now Johnson’s head of intergovernmental affairs and one of his closest aides.

@magi_jay The persistent impulse to expel moderate members from the Democratic coalition is confounding. The established wing of the party appears more determined to marginalize "law-and-order" Democrats than the progressive far left.

This is important: "I told yall about John Fetterman's 🚩, but I was harassed and ignored." It was not easy, in 2022, to oppose Fetterman. Doing so meant getting swarmed w/ bullies. So it's not *just* that we have been proven right, it's that folks tried to bully us into silence.

Who is we? Because I will never need a Conor Lamb apology form. I proudly voted for Lamb in that primary 4 years ago. I told yall about John Fetterman's 🚩🚩, but I was harassed and ignored.

@TradeUnionJake Hasan Piker hasn’t perpetrated a genocide like the piece of shit you’re defending, fuckface. Used care salesman are not working class lmao it’s not elitist to call out scammy, dishonest work and those who happily do it - again, there’s a reason all of them are Republicans.

On March 19th, NAVI published an urgent warning in @JNS_org regarding what we see as a coordinated attempt by far-left activists to reshape the Michigan Democratic Party. - jns.org/opinion/a-mamd… When “The People’s Coalition” responds with accusations of racism and other illiberal rhetoric, we stand our ground. We believe that labeling substantive political critique as “hate” is a tactic used to avoid debate on critical issues like normalizing extremism and antisemitism in our K-12 and political institutions. See their statement and our brief response in the images.

@RileyTX Your guy is happy to appear on stage with Hasan Piker. You are not the good guy here, my friend. Incredibly elitist to attack people for selling cars. We can’t all work for universities.

@TradeUnionJake What part is not true. We can all see your white knighting for Bernie Moreno above. He’s being ridiculed because he’s a smarmy Republican and the used care salesman of it all is just the cherry on top. Keep defending his honor though.

I’ve been told by those in the know that Abdul El-Sayed is a misogynist. Appearing with Hasan totally tracks.
Adam Wren@adamwren

Scoop in @playbookdc: @hasanthehun, the left-wing political streamer with millions of followers, will rally with Michigan Democratic Senate candidate @AbdulElSayed at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan on April 7. It’s his first appearance on the stump for a candidate.

@RileyTX Just not true, dude. And people shouldn’t be ridiculed because they sold cars.

@RileyTX Don’t think people should be attacked on the basis that they once sold cars for a living. That is true.

@TradeUnionJake I don’t take much stock in the opinions of Republicans. You on the other hand seem to think used car salesman Republicans who get elected to govt and propagate genocide are worth defending against progressives.
