She was playing in Black folks’ faces the whole time, TBH. The Obama ad in the primary was used to help her build clout. The SuperPACs lied about Abdul’s Michelle Obama article. She used the CBC and Clyburn endorsement to act like she was down, but in the end, the truth came out. Now voters are clear-eyed.
Ironically Haley Stevens just did the best bit of campaigning she could’ve ever done for Abdul El-Sayed with Black folks. Nothing pisses us off more than playing in our faces.

This is the thing. The disdain and disrespect of treating Black people as vessels to launder their bigotry through. They think they can go to a church, make some statements about black businesses, and everyone will fall in line with them. Ghouls.
Breaking my own rule and writing a Twitter essay... Two days before the midterms, Haley Stevens, the beneficiary of AIPAC’s record-setting $30 million in her primary, appeared with Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers at Perfecting Church in Detroit where she claimed that Rogers would “take on” investing in Black-owned businesses. She then endorsed him. This attempted ratfuck is galling for any number of reasons, but what disgusts me most is the willingness of these genocidal white politicians to use Black voters as human shields for their racism against Abdul El-Sayed. Rogers has run one of the most racist Senate campaigns this century, and yet, Stevens is now climbing aboard while ostensibly professing concern for Black voters. This is an instructive moment in understanding why Zionists must be purged from the party: as believers in a supremacist project themselves, they view Black voters as a faction to be weaponized, not as constituents who deserve genuine representation. They are saboteurs in the broader fight for racial justice. A belief in an ethnostate sustained through apartheid, force, genocide, and domination is fundamentally incompatible with an anti-fascist, anti-racist coalition. Good luck browbeating the Democratic electorate into supporting some pro-Israel corporate centrist in the 2028 presidential election after this saga.

An absolute bozo. I’m really disgusted. Leave the party ASAP.
"As you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Abdul said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away, and he's right, and that's why I am endorsing Mike Rogers," Haley Stevens says

Mallory McMorrow on Haley Stevens: It’s just a sad desperate attempt to be relevant… To have Haley abandon Michiganders and her constituents is deeply, deeply sad

Saying this and then fucking endorsing him is repulsive behavior. Michiganders deserve a Senator who will fight for them.
Mike Rogers’ record on LGBTQ+ rights is repulsive. He has no business representing Michiganders.

i’d also like to formally ask that nonblack folks stop trying to equate their issues to ours and using us as cover for your fuckass politics. all y’all do is co-opt our shit and exploit us for your own gain, when your not too busy ignoring our existence until you need our votes.

Pivoting to “I’m doing this for black people” is *nasty* work
Replying to @samueljrob
Stevens says she’s for investing in Black owned businesses. “And that’s the policy that Mike’s going to take on,” Stevens says.

BREAKING: A member of Perfecting Church in Detroit is FURIOUS after Mike Rogers appeared alongside Haley Stevens. “It’s UNCONSCIONABLE! This is CRAZY!” He says he confronted Stevens after the service: “I’m completely disappointed in you.” Her response? “I’m sorry.” Via Jolly Good Ginger

can't stand graeme le saux's commentary on arsenal matches. he doesn't try to hide his bias in the slightest and is constantly slipping in little jabs, it's annoying as hell to hear from someone who's supposed to be neutral

The cost of everyday life, our access to health care, and the rule of law itself are on the ballot right now. Here in Michigan, I cast my vote for Jocelyn Benson, Abdul el-Sayed, and great Democratic candidates up and down the ballot. If you haven’t already, make a plan to vote on or before Tuesday at IWillVote.com.

I’ve called Arteta many mean things for his insistence on pragmatism when we could play with more freedom, but on a day that was chaotic from both teams, keeping Liverpool to zero shots on target at Anfield isn’t being battered. It’s quite impressive even if it was agonizing.
Can’t wait for these little Arsenal tactico pages to gaslight us at full time and tell us this was brilliant tactical performance like they haven’t been getting battered for the majority of this match.

This insults the intelligence of Black voters! Mike Rogers has run one of the most blatantly racist campaigns this election cycle. Black voters have seen that and aren’t stupid. F*ck Haley Stevens. Her political career as a Democrat is over.
Congresswoman Haley Stevens is at a Black church with Mike Rogers today. Wow.

Haley Stevens is throwing away everything she allegedly believes in because AES is insufficiently pro Israel. Everything else about Mike Rogers and the GOP she allegedly despises comes secondary to Israel. It’s insane we’re here.
Legitimately has Israel psychosis.

The disgusting and frankly racist way Haley Stevens uses Black voters as a prop in her demented and deluded power game is emblematic of a much bigger centrist Dem problem. It is utterly despicable across the board.
