Proud to sign onto the Unrig Washington Campaign. We must stand up to the corrupting influence of corporate money in our democracy. I refuse to take corporate PAC money. In Congress I'll back a stock trading ban and crack down on dark money. @endcitizensunited.bsky.social #ecuunrigwashington

The community is the campaign. Together, over 31 hours, we collected four carloads of food and $1,384 for the Greater Lansing Food Bank. Today we stepped up. And we’re just getting started. Chalk it up as another loss for Barrett. Join the movement: WeWill2026.com/volunteer #WeWillWin

This is a campaign about people and we’ve got some great people spreading the word and building support across the district! Join us: WeWill2026.com/volunteer #WeWill2026

Tom Barrett is doing it in DC. Michigan Republicans are doing it in Lansing. Making massive cuts to public services and threatening to shutdown the government. #WeWillWin #Michigan #Congress

I'm thrilled to announce the endorsement of Sunrise MSU, an organization near and dear to my heart. Their work to face the climate crisis and organize students on campus is absolutely essential. Students will be heard in this election!

I’ve never signed up for a TPUSA list before and I can’t recall ever receiving a text from them. I got two unsolicited fundraising texts from the org today.

“This current political environment is untenable,” Sen. Jeremy Moss said. “In the past few days, I’ve experienced a noticeable influx of bigoted, aggressive messages directed at my office and social media inboxes.” Story by @kdavidsonjrn.bsky.social michiganadvance.com/briefs/michi...

Our campaign launch rally was incredible. 200+ people. Energy you could feel. Thank you so much! Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sLZ... A Michigan we can afford. A future we can look forward to. A country we can be proud of. That's what this campaign is about! #WeWill2026

NEWS: I'm running for U.S. Congress in Michigan's Seventh District, AKA the center of the universe. If you're in the area, come to our kickoff rally on Tuesday evening. If you aren't, follow our rollout here over the next week!

The warning signs have been there for awhile. Check out my latest column www.northernexpress.com/news/opinion...

Standing before the Michigan State Capitol on Tuesday, a group of disability self-advocates took Congress to task over GOP cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits, while warning a new assault on the autonomy of disabled individuals is in force. Story by @kdavidsonjrn.bsky.social

Donald Trump himself admits to sharing "young women" workers with Jeffrey Epstein. Trump says that the notorious sex trafficker was keen on taking workers from his Mar-a-Lago "spa" to go and work for him. These connections raise urgent questions about the full extent of their twisted relationship.

Attacks on the First Amendment meet corporate willingness to do anything for profit.

Vance Boelter was an anti-transgender Christian Nationalist who delivered anti-queer sermons in the DRC, in case anyone was confused as to his political slant.

Got an email featuring Tucker Carlson touting nicotine pouches that feature “no wokeness.” So that’s where we’re at.

Notice how while ICE arrests people without a warrant, invades homes without a warrant, & disappears people into death camps—NRA is silent. Know why? Because NRA was never about firearm protection—but about white supremacy protection. As long as ICE targets mostly Black & brown people, NRA is happy

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

This is gonna hit different after a week of Miller and Homan playing soldier

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

Things are happening and here’s why: Republicans and other MAGA lackeys have allowed unchecked tyrannical power to run roughshod over the constitution and due process. Secret police are snatching folks. And they’ve supported state-sanctioned violence against protesters and political opposition.

"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

Understatement of the year from your local broadcast station.

“I especially worry about how senior Michiganders will fare under the legislation Congressman James voted for this week,” said Dr. Christine Crader, a St. Clair Shores physician. Story from @jonkingnews.bsky.social

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

The entire MIGOP apparatus, from its candidates to its influencers, is about fealty to Donald Trump and that is all. They are beholden to one man.

John James is bought and paid for by the DeVos family.

How is everyone else doing?

Someone needs to check on Garrett Soldano. The dude is spreading Russian propaganda that peaked three years ago…

A new report finds ratepayers are footing the bill for high returns for utility shareholders, costing the average household $300 a year. Michigan regulators routinely approve returns for DTE and Consumers just under 10%, while riskier stocks earn significantly less. @planetdetroit.org

Where Robert Prevost, the new US-born Pope, stands on climate change: "Prevost is outspoken about the need for urgent action on climate change" collegeofcardinalsreport.com/evidence/car...

Welp, I’m sold.

Popes usually take their papal names based on the legacies of previous popes with that name. In choosing Leo XIV, it seems that former Cardinal Robert Prevost wants to live up to the legacy of Leo XIII, the "Pope of the Workers" who oriented the Church around social justice for the working class.

If they were actually concerned about anti-semitism, they could start with the neo-nazis that they appear with and platform

NEW: The Great Lakes hold 95% of all the surface freshwater in the United States. Severe cuts have decimated the NOAA Great Lakes lab. Scientists worry they’ve lost the ability to protect the public from toxic algal blooms, which can kill animals and sicken people. My story for @propublica.org

Paying Michigan teachers more isn’t just good public policy, it’s the right thing to do. www.bridgemi.com/guest-commen...

“Trumps says” is a cottage industry of reporting. It’s not very informative. How about “Despite lacking unilateral legal power to do so, Trump says Harvard….”

Hell yes

When 100 humans defeat 1 gorilla, 300 million lives are saved. #TheMoreYouKnow

On Day 1, Trump’s authoritarian presidency took hold and Michiganders spoke out. On Day 100, many days of chaos and pain later, we’re still showing up. Michiganders stand together. For justice. For freedom. For each other. Every damn day. #Trump100Days

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Shocked? Heck no

Do you know what it feels like to open a brand new Sega Genesis game in 2025? As in, like, new new. Someone designed, made and shipped this to me after I paid for it. It’s amazing.

Rep. Matt Maddock just called Michigan’s Veterans Affairs Agency—a service that helps prevent veteran suicide—a “total scam” and wants it defunded. This isn’t just cruel, it’s vile. If you’re willing to throw veterans under the bus for a soundbite, you don’t belong in public office. 👇
