...We rallied in Detroit to honor the over 30,000 martyrs of Gaza, to remember Aaron Bushnell, to demand imperialist and Zionist hands off Rafah, and to support the coming victory of the Palestinian Resistance!

#UOnYourShit

I'm with 101 niggas, we dalmatian doggy deep (Yes)

And fly with the tongue, so if you feeling froggy, leap (C'mon)

Kermit, you better think before you ribbit

Don't get murdered over your song before you ad-lib it

I pop up like Xzibit, but given I'm at your crib, it's

Not to put no fucking fish tanks in your Civic

Fuck getting your ride pimped, you'll get hog-tied, wimp

Have you in the trunk curled up like fried shrimp

It's been a good year, maybe I should ride blimp

'Cause your boy just stay above the game

They tryna tag him, spray a brother frame

But your shots can't reach me, I'm way above your aim

Go 'head, nigga, say another name

Take this family for a joke, play them Wayan brother games

And I'ma Git You Sucka, I be schemin' with this Keenan

Aimin' with this Damon, I'm putting that Major Payne in

My Little Man is on ya, Marlon and Shawn ya

Lay the beef on his noodle, make some Luger lasagna

Forty Cal fettuccine, trey pound pasta

You reach for this medallion, you must like Italian, nigga

You only see me pushing if the driver's tired (Yes!)

I work the S6 ever since the 5 retired

The drop-top, they say it's Ocean Drive-inspired

So you can call a cab once your bitch fall for Fab

Republican Party leaders are physically fighting with each other in Michigan. 🍿

"He kicked me in my balls": Michigan Republicans brawl at local meeting GOP gone wild: "When you see me taking my glasses off, I’m ready to rock"

As reported by The Detroit News, Wayne County Republican James Chapman was trying to get into the state party's meeting room at the Doherty Hotel by jiggling the door handle when Clare County Republican Party Chair Mark DeYoung opened the door from inside.  "He kicked me in my balls as soon as I opened the door,"  DeYoung told the outlet while being interviewed in the ER, adding that he had suffered a broken rib and intended to press charges against Chapman.  Chapman, however, said DeYoung was the one who swung first after threatening to kick Chapman's ass. DeYoung denied that, though, claiming Chapman squared up first — rushing DeYoung and slamming him into a chair. One of the individuals involved in the fight gave Detroit News' Craig Mauger a warning for any would-be future Michigan brawlers:  "When you see me taking my glasses off, I'm ready to rock," Chapman said. 

It's easy to see why Republicans are no longer running Michigan.

Although the dust-up took place outside the actual meeting room, members inside got an eye full.   "From my clear vantage point a kerfuffle occurred outside our meeting room. We recessed for 5 minutes. It had nothing to do with the content of our meeting," said committee member Kristin Lee. 

Donald Trump says that he may not take part in the first GOP debate. That's a shame because it would be great fun to see him and DeSantis get into a ball kicking and face scratching melee on live TV.

Police have broken up a pro-Palestinian encampment at Wayne State University in Detroit and arrested at least 12 people after organizers turned down offers to meet with school officials and refused to leave. Video shows Wayne State and Detroit police in riot gear tearing down fencing and breaking down tents erected on May 23 on green space near the undergraduate library. The protesters chanted: “There’s no riot here. Why are you in riot gear?” University President Kimberly Andrews Espy cited health and safety concerns and disruptions to campus operations for the police deployment. The camp, she said, “created an environment of exclusion – one in which some members of our campus community felt unwelcome and unable to fully participate in campus life”. Protest camps sprang up across the US and in Europe as students demanded their universities stop doing business with Israel or companies they say support its war on Gaza. Organisers seek to amplify calls to end the war, which they describe as a genocide against the Palestinians.
