    It’s not an isolated incident. The head of the forced conscription service mentioned there are many other sites like it in Ukraine. There’s also reporting going back to at least 2014 of similar operations being run by Azov in the western press.









  • That’s a lot of words that do not address the criticism contained in the meme.

    Lon Johnson, a former Michigan Democratic Party chair, and David Kramer, a longtime Democratic strategist who has previously helped elect Democrats to the Senate, are leading the effort. Both supported Rep. Haley Stevens over El-Sayed in the August Democratic primary.

    “Supporting a candidate after a hard-fought primary is an act of party unity, not a surrender of principle,” the pair wrote in an op-ed for The Detroit News. “Democrats (who were) asked to set aside their differences for Abdul El-Sayed had every right to expect … a commitment to earn their trust, address their legitimate concerns and unite a party whose nomination he won with less than 50% of the vote.”

    “He has failed that test.”

    Johnson, in an interview and in the op-ed, said he and Kramer have been under pressure by Democrats who support Rogers to vote for the Republican. But they chose a different route, one they say keeps them true to their ideals.

    “For many of us, there is dignity in leaving it blank,” they wrote.
