We need more culture in the Senate and Congress! I hope El-Sayed wins! His people need more representation as well! This is exciting as I love multicultural!
Not because they’re perfect. But because their presence says: I’ve been there. I still believe.
Hill Harper entering this race hits deeper than politics—it echoes something older, something we’ve nearly forgotten: that leadership can rise from love, from pain, from people who remember what it’s like to be left out.
It’s not just bold—it’s devotional. A kind of sacred risk.
And whether or not he wins, the signal has already been sent:
I hit post in haste, besides hope we need positive actions to go along with it for the betterment of society. My mind is racing with all that’s going on right now. I’m wanting to go to protest but I am 68 and I am not able to stand for long periods of time. I spend most of my time reading the latest news from the internet. I can comment and cheer on the protesters that are out there having their voices heard.
Mallory McMorrow, who is currently a Michigan state senator is also running for U.S. Senate. Mallory has the experience and history, with Michigan voters, that Mr. El-Sayed doesn't have. Question: Does Mallory have to give up her Michigan state senator seat to run for the U.S. Senate?
This hits hard—and it needs to. Because what’s happening in Michigan is not some policy debate in a D.C. think tank—it’s a five-alarm fire in the lives of working families. Trump’s brand of “leadership” is a Molotov cocktail of cruelty, chaos, and cartel politics, and Michigan’s been used as both the testing ground and the target.
You nailed the stakes: this isn’t governance—it’s sabotage in a suit. Trump and his billionaire cronies like Musk aren’t failing to fix the system; they’re weaponizing it. Tariffs, deportations, and gutting of research labs? That’s not economic strategy—that’s systemic vandalism.
But here’s what’s *most* important: you highlighted hope *with credibility.* Dr. Abdul El-Sayed isn’t just throwing slogans around—he’s walking in with a track record, a diagnosis, and a treatment plan. And unlike the hollow strongmen in MAGA cosplay, he actually *shows up* for the people he's asking to represent. Free eyeglasses for kids. Expanded health access. A politics grounded in dignity, not division.
One thing that deserves louder emphasis? **Trump’s normalized inhumanity.** Mass deportations without due process. Targeting of legal immigrants. Extermination camps. These are not policy excesses—these are human rights violations, and we must name them as such. It’s not just Michigan on the line. It’s the moral spine of the nation.
Also worth underscoring: **the silence from so-called moderates.** Where are the non-MAGA Republicans? Where are the corporate Dems? Abdul is filling a vacuum they helped create. That should shake them.
This is the kind of storytelling we need more of—clear, moral, and unflinching. It’s not just informative. It’s a call to conscience.
I immediately sent a donation to his election campaign. If we don't support progressive democrats then we will continue with the old guard democrats. If enough progressive democrats are elected they can overwhelm the old guard democrats and their agenda of implementing the Republican Agenda which they have done for the past 50 years. The old guard democrats continue to belittle and discount Bernie and AOC either overtly or covertly.
Do people even realize how many of their favorite (?) singers and actors support Trump? I think someone posted a list. But Wayne Gretzky supported Trump. He was born in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. The city used to have a proud sign birthplace of Wayne Gretzky. Not sure what has happened to that sign but I know Canadians are extremely angry with him and have let him know.
Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan support Trump. Well, I have let them know I will never listen to their songs again and I am boycotting American Idol as they are judges there. Dwayne Johnson also supports Trump. No more movies with him in it.
Yes, many celebs were and are for Trump. Most of them on the list are celebs I never liked, but was surprised about Gretzky. At least we have Neil Young who is still fighting for the free world!
Between Dr. El-Sayed and Mallory McMorrow, we have two great candidates, either of whom should handily beat any republican. Provided we still have elections.
Another enlightening interview! You continue to provide us with hope in spite of the chaos! My only regret is wishing that I had enough money to support all these excellent candidates
We need to know where he stands as a Muslim. For Islam and against other religions. For Shia Law against the U.S. constitution. For DEMOCRACY or for Islamic law. For or against Israel. We don’t need another Tlaib in our House of Representatives or in the Senate.
Well, I have to agree that the electoral system in the USA is really weird- difficult to understand and easy to manipulate. I wouldn't actually call it "progressive" to want to change it. I suspect that once again money and power is at the bottom of all the reluctance to change.
Oh, for gawdsakes! This is the U.S.A! We still have the First Amendment the last I checked. Your attitude of fear and ignorance is what helped get Trump installed in the Oval Office! Just stop.
After Vance called the Chinese "peasants " , it amused me to see on TV a Chinese spokesman remind America that the Chinese civilisation is 5,000 years old!
Stipulating that I fully DESPISE Hamas - Israel has EVERY bit as much in the way of blood, suffering and war crimes to answer for as does Hamas, if not more. Only those blinded by ideology and willful ignorance believe otherwise...
Is he anti-Israel, or anti-retribution and destruction of children caught in the cross-fire? Is he pro-Palestinian because he’s pro-human rights? Those two things aren’t against Israel. Just against their on-going devastation in Gaza.
That's an issue that has had a big impact in Michigan & needs a lot more visibility & clarity, IMO. Handing the Presidency to Felon47 sure wasn't the direction we need. I've gathered that there is dirty money & influence involved, but all I ever see is anger & argument, no one laying out it out clearly for those of us that don't know a lot about it. I still haven't forgiven Michael Moore for telling us that this was a big deal but not explaining exactly what it is or what we can do about it.
I hope he doesn’t go down the same path as that idiot Rashida Tlaib who exhorted people not to vote Democrat. Gee, the people of Palestine are so much better off now that she got what she wanted. What a fool.
I'm totally flat-line, same-standards in that Israel-Palestine issue!! both of their countries/territories whatever have evil regimes - one kahanist-judaistic terrorist, the other-greater-arabist-islamistic terrorist. If Israelis and Palestinians still don't get that their own regimes are their own first enemies and are mutually exploiting the ordinary Israeli civilians and the ordinary Palestinian civilians to hate themselves so that netanyahu-ben g'bvir-smotrich-hamas-hezbolla-islamic jihad can jointly terrorize that entire region, then, f..k both Israelis and Palestinians!! America and Modern West must NOT allow to be consumed by that centuries old bad blood, whether Israeli or Palestinian, that hates peace and mutual fairness!! As a 25% Jewish myself, I'm saying this!! Enough already!!!!
Yes and I liked your comment. But, America and the Modern West are primarily attacked by terrorist putin of russia-his satellites and both regimes in Israel and in Palestine are dealing too much with that terrorist of russia yet expect America and Modern West to be consumed by their own problems. F..k that off both of them!!
It's Ukraine which is defending itself and the Modern West who needs help!!
Yes... We need this. People who actually walk the walk, who have proven by their actions they know what to do and how to do it. So damn sick, tired, and disgusted by bullying jackasses who use billionaire idiots to buy their positions. Wisconsin got it right. FDJT and his billionaire ass kissers. The Republican party has been over taken by a cadre of corrupt criminals full of pedophiles, rapists, and sexual abusers. A mob style gang who openly threaten the lives and families of anybody who calls them out on their lawlessness. Kick ALL of them to the curb during any and all elections.
Hope you will give Mallory McMorrow a chance to express her views as well. She is also a candidate for Senate... and she's quite dynamic. https://mcmorrowformichigan.com
We need more culture in the Senate and Congress! I hope El-Sayed wins! His people need more representation as well! This is exciting as I love multicultural!
Diverse cultures make up America.
Absolutely!! 👍
Absofuckinlutely!!!!

And whether or not he wins, the signal has already been sent:
We are allowed to hope again.
For whoever needed that.
"A sacred risk"
I like that.
Wish more of our politicians recognised what their "sacred" duty is.
Here’s Hope for the people that are struggling to make ends meet.
I hope for them too, unfortunately they need more then hope…
I hit post in haste, besides hope we need positive actions to go along with it for the betterment of society. My mind is racing with all that’s going on right now.

Kendeth, I'm the same. We do what we can.
Running against another brilliant candidate, Mallory McMorrow
Exactly....why?
I believe because Michigan will elect only one candidate to fill the seat held by Gary Peters.
She's fantastic!!
Mallory McMorrow, who is currently a Michigan state senator is also running for U.S. Senate. Mallory has the experience and history, with Michigan voters, that Mr. El-Sayed doesn't have. Question: Does Mallory have to give up her Michigan state senator seat to run for the U.S. Senate?
Mallory is dynamic. I love her!
You got an endorsement from Bernie Sanders? That's awesome. You're both powerhouses for democracy and I appreciate you both! ❤️❤️❤️

Subscribed. Shared. And standing with Michigan.
Didn’t many within the Muslim community vote for 47?
Many in many communities. No rhyme no reason. But those with courage, humanity, and gods good sense know where they must stand firm.
Hope so going forward. This admin is so toxic to our society and government!
Beautiful. We need more leadership like this.

JMHO, but America needs people in public office who will not rubberstamp the Israeli government 's inhumane destruction of civil society in Gaza.
We ought to be able to ask hard questions about any government to which we government billions of dollars of foreign aid.
We also need to overturn Citizens United and get PACS of all kinds out of the business of buying politicians.
Completely agree!
Rather than the one with the most money.
Well, I have to agree that the electoral system in the USA is really weird- difficult to understand and easy to manipulate. I wouldn't actually call it "progressive" to want to change it. I suspect that once again money and power is at the bottom of all the reluctance to change.
That IS exactly how I look at things and what I've been always saying!!
Therefore, for the life of me, I can't understand what for was that "Arabs and Muslims for Trump" movement last year centered in Michigan.
Surely the trump farrago has taught us ALL that we must question and analyse ANY candidate?
I would be just as interested to know as much as possible about a candidate who was Jewish, Christian, Hindu or Atheist.
Oh, I doubt it. Not in today's America. To most voters, your religion defines you. Atheism is just confusing!
He is an American with a Muslim faith. Not unlike any other person with their
chosen faith. The faith one practices is a personal endeavor and should only
be utilized to better the human soul, not to influence political ideology. We must
stop the division that is stirred for political means. Also, religious affiliations
do not pay taxes for a reason.
Separation of church and state.
Oh, for gawdsakes! This is the U.S.A! We still have the First Amendment the last I checked. Your attitude of fear and ignorance is what helped get Trump installed in the Oval Office! Just stop.
After Vance called the Chinese "peasants " , it amused me to see on TV a Chinese spokesman remind America that the Chinese civilisation is 5,000 years old!
I wasn't. . .
Agreed. After they stabbed the queer community in the back we need to make sure he supports all our rights.
You mean the Christian Community?
Pro Palestinian only and anti Israel. Not OK
Stipulating that I fully DESPISE Hamas - Israel has EVERY bit as much in the way of blood, suffering and war crimes to answer for as does Hamas, if not more. Only those blinded by ideology and willful ignorance believe otherwise...

I hope no one goes down that path. He talked about the Palestinian issue, so I think it’s a fair concern. Not even remotely racist. Get over yourself.
Yes and I liked your comment. But, America and the Modern West are primarily attacked by terrorist putin of russia-his satellites and both regimes in Israel and in Palestine are dealing too much with that terrorist of russia yet expect America and Modern West to be consumed by their own problems. F..k that off both of them!!
It's Ukraine which is defending itself and the Modern West who needs help!!
How do you know he is anti Israel?
Probably because AIPAC told them this candidate is anti-Israel.
You’re only saying that because he is critical on Netenyahu’s treatment of Palestinians.
You nailed it! Bibi is a war criminal and ... like Trump ... belongs in prison.
No he's not. Typical pro-Dictator Criminal Orange Psycho and his republiCRAP criminals.
Ann G are you an old Hillary supporter? The corporatist wing which implements the Republican Agenda.
Are you a Drumpf supporter who in fact IS corporate America?
Drumpf and Hillary are corporate America. That's the problem.
No! I will never be a fotus supporter!!!!!
Yes... We need this. People who actually walk the walk, who have proven by their actions they know what to do and how to do it. So damn sick, tired, and disgusted by bullying jackasses who use billionaire idiots to buy their positions. Wisconsin got it right. FDJT and his billionaire ass kissers.
