How many January 6 insurrectionists were armed? Is the position now that Capitol police could have shot them all? Just trying to keep up

I really need Democratic lawmakers to understand that we're fed up with them simply posting on social media "this has to stop" without calling for specific actions to make it stop. We know this needs to stop. We elected you. Tell us what needs to be done to make it stop.

Don't watch the video unless you want to feel sick. But be very very angry because they executed a man who was just directing traffic.

Alex Pretti seemed like an awesome guy who was doing what every person not being targeted by ICE should do. But even if he was an asshole, no one should be executed by government thugs in the streets. There is no statute of limitations on murder so their day will come.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

Remembering how cops tossed Kyle Rittenhouse - who was open carrying a semiautomatic rifle - a bottle of water and told him, “We appreciate you… we really do”

If this is what they do to white American citizens in front of everyone, imagine what happens to non-white people behind closed doors.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

I believe in a better Ann Arbor — a better tomorrow for all of us. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Excited to see that @aidansova.bsky.social is running for council! I think Aidan will continue the work that Dharma championed, like work to address our housing/affordability crisis and improvements to our non motorized transportation system.

What kind of scenario was Section 4 of the 25th Amendment meant for, if not what we’re currently witnessing?

republicans who think you have a safe seat: no you don’t

The @annarborobserver.bsky.social newsletter had a decent summary of the dynamic at the #a2council Transportation Commission meeting last week (mailchi.mp/aaobserver/a... ). But we need to take some time to talk in detail about why the city's presentation was so damaging and damning... (🧵)

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

What’s up with this banner flying around the #BigHouse ?? “Read the A2 land use plan a2gov.org” Presumably not a city ad.

#AnnArbor our #A2ZERO plan states that new construction should not use natural gas for heating. Ask Dick’s to help us meet our goals and switch to all-electric heat in their new A2 store! climateconcerneda2.good.do/DicksSportsN...

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

The Home Depot continues to allow ICE to terrorize the communities they pretend to serve. Let’s show them the same kindness we did to target! use the website boycotthomedepot.network and the toolkit at bit.ly/boycotthomed... to spread the word!

Great turnout for #NoKings Ypsilanti, MI. The line of protesters more than circled a 1 mile long block.

No kings. No masters. No clowns. Ypsilanti #NoKings

I love this image.

Outstanding #TallHeights backyard concert! ❤️

In #AnnArbor home prices and pedestrian crashes are 📈. What can we do about it? Learn & network at Neighborhood Week, with events kicking off THIS SUNDAY! Here are some highlights. 🧵 #A2Council

Highly recommend #a2council and #annarbor check out the Climate-Concerned Ann Arborites website for fact-based info, stories from neighbors, and the chance to contribute your own story c2a2.info

Today's reminder that Library Green is an unserious organization run by unserious people. Prop A/B stand on their own merits, but anyone on the fence ought to shudder at the thought of giving LG another 5-10 years to cosplay fundraising and park planning. #a2council

Dozens of dedicated volunteers put in sweat and time repping More Neighbors A2. They report stories like this: positive interactions with neighbors, sometimes leading to deeper connections. We envision a more densely populated and inclusive Ann Arbor where these interactions are commonplace.

Keagan is a 4th grader and neighbor whose Mom walked her through Props A & B. She sent out these postcards. #a2council

The glossy mailpiece that arrived today from the Library Green Conservancy that conflates A/B with the CLUP is so disgusting. I am furious but don't know how to counteract their disinformation. The depravity of those people knows no bounds. Sorry, but I just had to rant. #a2council

"In one month, China installed more solar generation than California has in all total installed generation." - Daniel Palken, Ph.D. #CCL2025

If you combine the Inflation Reduction Act (a step forward) and the One Big Beautiful Bill (a step backward), we still have the biggest climate investment in American history. The silver lining is that the remaining policies have that bipartisan stamp of approval. - Daniel Palken, Ph.D. #CCL2025

In DC with my dear friend @brettcease.bsky.social, lobbying for clean energy appropriations and climate action in Congress with @cclusa.org Sporting @edhawkins.org warming stripes ties.

I missed the ribbon cutting because of a Planning Commission meeting, but my heart is so full! I advocated for this housing 13 years ago. Grateful @avalonhousing.bsky.social is bringing 50 affordable units to our neighborhood & to welcome my new neighbors. #a2council www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

As the August 5th election nears, we've been getting a lot of questions from patrons who have heard or read false claims about Proposals A&B. So, we've put together this page with the false claims we've heard and the facts that refute them: aadl.org/morefacts Please share and tell your friends!

Hey #a2council this is insane. We're talking about a brand new building here. If it didn't have enough bathrooms that should've been caught in plan review before construction started. Inspectors should not be able to halt a project over something ALREADY APPROVED. www.tiktok.com/@hazelcoffee...

Some neighbors claim that a greater supply of homes won't fix A2 affordability, but housing scarcity is absolutely contributing to our affordability crisis. The City compiled a lit review on this and other critical questions. It is nuanced, but clear. #A2Council docs.google.com/document/d/1...

#a2council @mayortaylora2.bsky.social is doing an AMA on Reddit tomorrow! Go and ask him anything you've wondered, from housing and bike lane policy to what his favourite cheese is! www.reddit.com/r/AnnArbor/c...

TRU takes on Ann Arbor! Join us this month for a very special Transit Tuesday Triple Header featuring a try transit on the D2A2, a Transit Tuesday Talk with TheRide, and a Transit on Tap social. Come to all or one! Find more info and register at www.detroittransit.o...

Got my ballot in the mail today! Excited for a new, bigger downtown library with housing above it! #A2Council

Would love to see the link to the new federal hiring essay requirements mentioned by @jillwine-banks in the latest episode of #SistersInLaw ! Cc @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @barbmcquade.bsky.social @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social

If you believe in creating equitable opportunities for housing in Ann Arbor and making it possible for more neighbors to live here, please host a Neighbors for More Neighbors yard sign, #a2council. Sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The president’s economically ruinous trade war will also be a disaster for America’s role in the fight against climate change. I wrote about it for @nytopinion.nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/o...
