#metrotimes — Public Fediverse posts

...#WDET has built much of its identity around people and stories rooted in the metropolitan area. About 80% of its programming is locally produced, station officials tell #MetroTimes. The station aptly calls itself “the authentic voice of #Detroit.” 🎵 🎶 📻 👍 😁 #Michigan #Music #Radio #PublicRadio #Broadcasting #Journalism https://www.metrotimes.com/news/after-trumps-public-media-cuts-wdet-is-doubling-down-on-detroit/

TBH The polls have been pretty turbulent, we may get a poll tomorrow with completely different numbers. But that's a pretty significant lead there. #AbdulElSayed #MalloryMcMorrow #HaleyStevens #Michigan #Vote2026 #MetroTimes #Politics #USPol https://www.metrotimes.com/news/politics-elections/new-poll-finds-abdul-el-sayed-surging-in-michigan-u-s-senate-race/

"For #HaleyStevens, the page created an awkward image of a Democratic Senate candidate appearing in a fundraising appeal with a Republican incumbent at a time when Democrats are trying to win control of the Senate." #AbdulElSayed #AbdulForMichigan #Michigan #USPol #Poitics #Vote2026 #AIPAC #MetroTimes https://www.metrotimes.com/news/politics-elections/aipac-pairs-haley-stevens-with-republican-in-joint-senate-fundraiser-attacks-el-sayed/

#AbdulElSayed (my fave) and #MalloryMcMorrow (could be worse) are tied for the lead. The establishment candidate is #AIPAC-funded militarist #HaleyStevens. Looks like she's down for the count. Hope she stays there. #Michigan #USPol #Vote2026 #MetroTimes https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5832820-michigan-senate-race-poll/

Can't really #BoycottFord 'cuz I wouldn't buy their cars even if I needed one. But #FordSucks is still appropriate. #USPol #Politics #Cars #Auto #Detroit #Michigan #MetroTimes https://www.metrotimes.com/news/metro-detroit-news/uaw-backs-suspended-ford-worker-condemns-trumps-vulgar-response/

“As of Thursday, #ICE had not publicly released additional details about Gantchev’s death or explained why Congress and local officials were notified days later, only after #RashidaTlaib sought answers.” #Immigration #Michigan #MetroTimes #USPol https://www.metrotimes.com/news/michigan-news/immigrant-dies-at-michigan-ice-detention-center-as-questions-linger-over-conditions/

“I feel like a lot of us probably should have left way before now. We want to remain authentic, and unfortunately #Spotify has gotten themselves wrapped up in some things that don’t align with our morals.”

“I can tell you in good faith right now today standing at a pulpit in a mosque that Sharia law does not exist in #Dearborn, #Michigan. You have all been lied to with the propaganda that’s going on about Dearborn. I can tell you with absolute faith that everything you’ve been told or taught about Dearborn is a complete fabrication of the truth. Dearborn is a very quiet community. There is a lot of hospitality. I’ve been extremely welcomed here.”#Politics #USPol #MetroTimes https://www.metrotimes.com/news/metro-detroit-news/gop-candidate-admits-he-was-wrong-about-muslims-calls-off-american-crusade-march-in-dearborn/

Also this. TBH I don't know much about #MarySheffield, but the left-leaning #MetroTimes describes her as "progressive" so I guess that's good. She was also endorsed by the right-leaning #DetroitNews. Fingers crossed. #Detroit #Michigan #Politics #USPol https://www.metrotimes.com/news/politics-elections/mary-sheffield-wins-big-becomes-detroits-first-woman-mayor/

“#Michigan’s Clean Slate Program, which #GarlinGilchrist helped champion, allows many residents with past criminal convictions to have their records automatically cleared after a set number of years. The policy is designed to remove barriers to jobs and housing for people who have completed their sentences and stayed out of trouble.” #Vote2026 #RashidaTlaib #USPol #Politics #MetroTimes https://www.metrotimes.com/news/politics-elections/progressive-u-s-rep-tlaib-endorses-gilchrist-for-michigan-governor-praising-his-support-of-working-people/

#Detroit is cranking out some movies. Entirely locally produced, and -- so far -- mostly for local audiences. I've only seen one, IMHO it was just okay but I think it's cool that they're putting all this together with few resources and zero support from Hollywood. Love the nicknames, too: "#HollyHood", "#TubiTown" LOL! 🎞️ 👍 😁 #Film #Cinema #Culture #Michigan #BlackMastodon #Blaxploitation #MetroTimes https://www.metrotimes.com/arts/movies/tubitown-detroits-influence-on-the-resurgence-of-blaxploitation-films/

#DanaNessel also launched a bad-faith smear campaign against fellow #Democrat #RashidaTlaib in September 2024, just as absentee ballots were being sent out. She probably helped Trump win the state. I hope her career is over soon. #Michigan #Gaza #Palestine #USPol #MetroTimes #Democrats https://www.metrotimes.com/news/michigan-ag-nessel-booed-at-democratic-convention-over-charges-against-pro-palestinian-prostesters-38670132

“I kept waiting for someone better than me to come along and make a documentary on #Mad, which I always thought was very worthy of being told since it is such an American icon. I kept reading about Mad artists and writers who were passing away throughout the years, and it finally just got to the point where if it’s going to happen, I’m going to do it. And that was it. I’ll figure it out later.” #MadMagazine #Comics #Culture #Publiishing #Satire #MetroTimes https://www.metrotimes.com/arts/made-in-detroit-mad-documentary-is-no-joke-37819792

Even the Democratic governor and attorney general of #Michigan is spreading the lie. Their goal is to "flood the zone with shit", a far-right strategy coined by Steve Bannon.

To be clear, the #MetroTimes is not encouraging voters to #AbandonBiden in the general election. They're encouraging voters to send a message in #Michigan's February 27 primary. I've already voted, and I voted for Joe, but IMHO choosing "uncommitted" is a reasonable strategy. #JoeBiden #Biden2024 #BidenHarris2024 #VoteBlue #Vote2024 https://www.metrotimes.com/news/metro-times-endorses-uncommitted-in-2024-presidential-primary-35461327

Of course they have every right to be angry with #Biden. But I'm sure they know that a second #Trump administration would be even more devastating to #Palestine. One wonders if this is a smokescreen for an anti-#LGBTQ agenda. #HuwaidaArraf #Michigan #VoteBlue #MetroTimes #Politics #USPol https://www.metrotimes.com/news/michigan-muslim-leaders-pledge-to-abandon-biden-regardless-of-the-consequences-34580936

There's a really cool Spanish station, #WSDS #Ypsilanti, at 1480 on the dial. No idea what they're saying but the music is fab. And this station is a lifeline for the local Spanish-speaking community. So yes, I do still listen to #AMRadio, and so do lots of others. And I won't buy a car that doesn't have it available. #Ford #Cars #Detroit #MetroTimes https://www.metrotimes.com/news/in-your-car-do-you-still-listen-to-am-radio-33174786
