Donavan McKinney for Congress
@donavanmckinney.bsky.social

I'm Donavan McKinney, running for Congress in Michigan's #Mighty13. I have a lot of new followers, so let me reintroduce myself. My Mother and Grandmother raised me in northeast Detroit. We moved over 13 times while I was growing up, mostly due to evictions.

Honestly still an indictment that it took them this long to release it given the narrative not releasing it was causing

everyone thought they weren’t releasing the DNC 2024 report because they didn’t want to admit palestine effected the election but it turns out they didn’t release it because the 1 person who actually worked on it used chatgpt to fake the report in its entirety

Insane story: Using facial recognition technology, The New York Knicks apparently tracked the movements of a transgender woman attending a game at Madison Square Garden to ensure she never appeared on the game's televised broadcast

wired.comThe Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden’s Surveillance MachineFamously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more.

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

I do not think the takeaway here is that Americas don't trust their neighbors. This question is clearly more about the politics of the country. If Americans had answered the way Canada did, you could call them oblivious or say they don't care about injustice

Joey Politano🏳️‍🌈@josephpolitano.bsky.social

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

newrepublic.comYou Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential BidShe’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

Alternatively we are seeing a managed decline of journalistic outlets not to produce propaganda but to eliminate sources of truth. Like the propaganda is a side gig to the dismantling of news in general

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Tolls are *great* for drivers. As a driver, I love tolling and congestion charges. Means I can get to where I need to go without waiting in traffic.

David Zipper@davidzipper.bsky.social

As expected, drives into Manhattan grew notably faster following congestion pricing. But local journeys outside the toll zone also sped up a bit – and there are *lots* of them. To the researchers’ surprise, those driving outside Manhattan collectively saved 5x more hours than toll payers(!).
