The City temporarily banned street parking citywide so that plows could clear streets and make travel safer. But since they didn't send a postcard, text, and a person to move my car, I'm going to angrily post a 67 chapter book about it to every social media site. #a2council by James Q. Porkchop

Here are a few ways to support our immigrant neighbors in Washtenaw County, from the Washtenaw Interfaith Coalition for Immigrant Rights (WICIR). #a2council

So much going on this week, we had to make a list. Volunteer opportunities, ways to advocate, and events where you can meet neighbors and have a good time. You can peruse all our issues and join the mailing list at newsletter.moreneighborsa2.org #AnnArbor #A2Council

My Sherrone Michigan head coach Moore thought he had the knack, but his 2024 victory over Ohio State only made him a one hit wonder. by Maureen Dowd

Whether it's Joe Lieberman going MAGA or Tim Kaine caving in on ACA, both vice-presidential nominees turned out to be assholes.

Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once.

Readers in Arizona, Michigan, & Georgia! Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare. If you have a minute, go ahead & give them a call! Their job is to respond to constituents & they're mostly hearing from GOP voters rn.

There is an election today in the Washtenaw Intermediate School District. I think you should vote Yes on the Career Technical Education Millage: www.damnarbor.com/2025/11/elec... #a2Council #YpsiCouncil

We are so fortunate in the Fighting Five. Please empty to your pockets to keep Jenn our CM! #a2council

If you are trying to decide if it is worth coming out and voting on Tuesday as only the tech education milage that helps #a2schools is in the ballot, here is who is voting against it. #a2council #a2schoolboard Full story in the @annarborobserver.bsky.social

The numbers keep growing away from #visionzero. #a2council. Dexter and Maple intersection needs No Turn on Red... as a start.

I was counting my piles of cash when my nepobaby banker son turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why did the library buy the Observer?" And when I told him "because the AADL is run by fascists," he started crying. #a2council

2025 is on pace to be Ann Arbor's worst year for pedestrian crashes. We talk with @crashesinannarbor.bsky.social's Peter Houk who complied these data. #a2Council www.damnarbor.com/2025/10/2025...

I’m 100% sure that’s actually not the question to be asking

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

JUST IN: President Trump has told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against "enemy within."

Yes. Nailed it. Stop trying to play it safe. We don't want it.

Democrats helped Trump sell the most successful video app in America to a bunch of his right wing zealot friends under the pretense of fixing privacy and improving national security

Special Mlive Report | Downtown businesses are struggling amid a change in A2 office occupancy, rising rents, inflation, tariff impact, and competition from national chains. So why does it feel like bike lanes killed Downtown Home and Garden? #a2council by Bryan Cranston

NPR is tracking the record number of lawmakers in Congress who have already announced they don't plan to run for reelection ahead of the 2026 midterms.

The fact that Donald Trump has gotten away with so many crimes since becoming president is proof that Trump is right about the need to federalize law enforcement in Washington DC.

Props AB passed but it took 13 years since losing the @aadl.org bond & 12 years to build housing at Veridian. Meanwhile, median home costs increased 4x inflation, rents up 2.5x inflation. Ann Arbor NIMBYs punish current and future generations with their cynicism. Keep rejecting that fear! #a2council

The Fightin' Fifth Ward shows UP! Thank you, neighbors!

At twenty-three years old, I was elected to the Ann Arbor District Library Board with big goals. Just three years later, we secured a new downtown library! Proposals A and B passed — WE DID IT! #A2Council 🧵

We are going to build a bigger better library and I can’t wait! Thanks #A2council and to all the folks who answered doors to talk, helped us make this a reality, and the voters!

How many Summer Game points for a lump of pavement torn from the surface of the parking lot #A2Council?

Summer in Ann Arbor, Mich., means thousands of people hunting for hidden codes around the city and reading books to earn points. It's part of a popular game organized by the public library.

The Library: Too Confusing, Too Extreme #a2council

Food: $200 Live music: $100 AV setup: $250 Illegal political mailers: $59,000 Decadome rental: $500 someone who is good at the love economy please help me budget this. my park is dying. #a2council

In 2018, we promised voters we would fund a park on the library lot without taxpayer dollars. Instead, we spent our 501c3's money on mailers opposing proposals that'd fund the park for free. Here's why it's everyone else's fault that the parking lot has remained desolate and uninviting. #a2council

Library Grievance Conspiracy has teamed up with Pause the Plan and spent a ton of money to mail postcards full of lies about selling parkland. #A2council

This is the grassroots YIMBY organization we've been waiting for. Join in if you haven't yet, #A2Council. 👇

Just saw all the cool events that @aadl.org has scheduled (in addition to the Summer Game!) and compared that to what the Center of the City/Commons group has going on. Seems as if they can’t even keep a planter looking good. Vote yes on A & B, for crying out loud. This is embarassing. #A2Council

This new #A2council comprehensive plan resolution talks a lot about being sensitive to "neighborhood context" Haven't we heard a phrase like that used as justification to say no to development before...

I am having trouble understanding why City Council members think they should intervene at this time to appropriate many thousands of additional dollars to delay the work of the planning commission. Did the consulting firm request this? #a2council

Watching all of this #a2council stuff has reinforced my preference to make my move from A2 to Ypsi permanent. When folks worry more about their property values than welcoming neighbors, well, that's not a place I want to live.

Guess what? @mgoblog.bsky.social has entered the chat #a2council mgoblog.com/content/yes-...

Residents of this liberal Midwest college town are justifiably panicked about rising fascism in the United States. But we talked to the CEO of an infamous private security firm who asks—could more fascism actually be the answer? #a2council

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets. So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

#micro-mobilty FTW!

😱 Good god, that didn't take long. #a2council, I hope everyone responsible for this feels like shit. This was entirely predictable.

Turning into a single issue voter for 2028, where the issue is which Democratic candidate will vow to nominate the most rabidly partisan, vengeful and hate-filled AG you can possibly imagine

“I would like to have the option to actually live in Ann Arbor one day rather than outside it. No city should be a luxury good that is only available to the wealthy or long-time residents who simply had the good fortune of not looking for housing amidst a housing crisis." This is who we fight for.

My new favorite sign pairings in Ann Arbor are "Pause the Plan" signs next to "Black Lives Matter" signs. Exclusionary zoning practices have a long tie to racist policies and redlining. (by favorite I mean the most enraging) #a2council
