…. knowing we not alone in our steadfast belief in democracy! We even had a guy, Mitch, from Traverse City that joined us!” @mitchtreadwell.bsky.social People in northern Michigan know what is at risk & continue to stand up for what is right. @maddow.bsky.social @deanobeidallah.bsky.social

This is disgusting.

Listening to Curtis Hertel speak at the Grand Traverse Dems' Obama Dinner!

Fun fact: Even if federal money *was* being spent on Medicaid coverage for undocumented immigrants (it isn’t), the money wouldn’t be “going to illegal aliens.” It would be going to *healthcare providers*…ie, hospitals, doctors, etc. Medicaid enrollees don’t receive the money.

This is wonderfully clever. 😃

Hypocrisy at its best…

Keep being unapologetically you! 🌈 #PrideMonth

If @indivisible.org & @50501mi.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social need a location for a massive protest here's a good place to start. What happened to "local control" & "states' rights?"🙄

🚨 NEW: The House GOP's budget bill screws Medicaid expansion enrollees twice; do I hear three times? acasignups.net/25/05/23/hou...

Seriously.

A rep from Northern Michigan is saying this?? Doesn’t he know how important the State Parks and the DNR are to our tourism and outdoor recreation???

Pope Francis tirelessly centered humanity's goodness. He wasn't afraid to challenge us, to challenge tradition, to strive every day to make people feel more welcome, more seen, more heard, more understood.

A great chance to learn about the legislative process in Michigan!

Dems from over 50 Michigan counties are turning out at this weekend’s Rural Summit in Sault Ste Marie!

THIS is the energy we need to see in the US Senate. Fresh and fearless, @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social will never sacrifice her values or cower to dictators. When we talk about being Reformers, this is how we envision it! This is the type of person we choose to lead and inspire us. 👇🏼

Holly was a dear member of the Traverse City community who made us all stronger. As her son said, "A fierce warrior queen." Be at peace ❤️‍🩹 tinyurl.com/4tvjcf3j

Over 400 people came out to the #HandsOff protest in Petoskey today! Lot of great energy, especially as the area’s still recovering from the ice storm a week ago.

Traverse City answered the call! We raised our voices and said #HandsOff our democracy! It's for the people, not billionaires. Thanks to every single person who helped make this happen! #tcmi #protest #3e

Many cities in Michigan have local election this year, too! From Detroit and Pontiac to Traverse City and Petoskey!

Democratic representatives should offer to help out non-constituents in red districts whose own reps are not being helpful

If Donald Trump is successful in cutting Medicaid, no state has the money to backfill the billions of dollars in funding. Blood will be on the hands of his administration and Republicans in Congress. Now is the time to stand up for Medicaid, working families, and each other.

Proud to say that the City of Traverse City has affirmed that access to water is a human right. As a City, we’ve already halted water shut-offs for residents, and are working to change our utility billing to improve water affordability for vulnerable residents.

At the town hall in Traverse City today, US Rep Jack Bergman refuses to show up. So instead of being able to ask questions of our Congressman about the chaos in Washington, we just have an empty seat.

11 years ago today, on a Saturday morning, I opened the Ingham County Clerk’s Office to assist residents. Later, in the afternoon, a stay was issued, but not before over 300 same-sex couples all around the State of Michigan were married ❤️ #LoveIsLove

We need to put her image on our currency to remind us of who we are and who we must not be.

Echoing this. While I don’t serve in the Federal government (and am not running in a Federal race), I’m willing to travel across Northern Michigan to sit down with folks and talk about the role of local and state government in these chaotic times. If your reps won’t show up, I will.

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker. Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

Traverse City MI 2-17-25. What an inspiring day as we all came together in snow, wind, and cold. Temp of 10F and snow falling periodically. Speakers included Callie Barr and @betsycoffia.bsky.social It was a great turnout. Thanks to the local @indivisible.org and the other groups for the rally

If you’ve heard about the “DNR clear-cutting forest in Gaylord for a solar farm”, you need to be aware of just how much of the discussion is anti-green energy misinformation. thinc.blog/2025/01/16/f...

🚨Trump is pausing his proposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico—but only after forcing meaningless concessions. Canada had to create a “fentanyl czar” (a position they already had, just renamed), and Mexico had to commit 10,000 troops to the border (where they already have 15,000).

-Tariffs on Mexico (and Canada) paused after almost crashing the market -Contentious meeting at City Commission, including over a half hour debating salt for roads -Stress levels are way too high Time for another Margarita Monday!

This is why trucks are so off-putting to me In my mind, a truck is the 80s-90s truck, that's what I grew up with (with some older ones thrown in sometimes too) I remember when they started really making it fucky in the 00s & at 1st we all made fun of it even the dumber rednecks Then they liked it

It was great to hear Gov. Whitmer talk about this at the Northern Michigan Policy Comference!

It’s a shame this attitude didn’t persist longer, now he can get a ‘priest’ to ‘salute’ him

Trump's illegal funding "pause" sent everyone from Head Start programs to Meals on Wheels scrambling to figure out how to keep the lights on. This MAGA chaos wasted time and resources. It's irresponsible and dangerous.

Higher cost for gas and energy. Less investment coming to the state and fewer jobs created. Major damage to Michigan's auto industry. Trump's Executive Orders are likely to create big problems for Michiganders.

No explanation needed

Trump is about to impose tariffs on Columbia over migrants, at a time when coffee prices were already at all-time highs. I thought he was supposed to make prices go down?? #Trumpflation #WeCan’tAffordTradeWars
