A thread I blew my deadline, but I wanted to get this out there as this is going to happen tomorrow. Viola Liuzzo was a civil rights activist from Michigan who was murdered during the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965. She was also active in civil rights work in the metro Detroit area.

Heard UM Regent Paul Brown at the 6th District Dem meeting talking about the universities anti-ICE measures, and hiw he's known as the Union Regent...knew I liked him...

Well, well… If the 14th amendment was not meant for modern immigrants, then the 2nd amendment was not meant for modern arms. #truth

With Bondi as the sacrificial lamb of the week, do you think the lawfare gets reduce, as Bondi was loyal beyond good sense in persuing Trump Vendetta cases, I figure most other attorneys tell him to pound sand with some

I may not succeed, but I will not stop working and striving to help others in a peaceful way. Others have done utnfor my family, my mentors have done it for others. Now, I will do it for others

Never stop being shocked and horrified by the cruelty and disregard for human life and human dignity shown by this government. It should not be normal. But also never forget that while this is an escalation, it isn't new.

Audio from an El-Sayed comms conference call leaking and ending up with the damned Free Beacon isn't a good thing regardless of the content of said call

We’re going to win this race.

Signs of how big the crowd was at No King Canton MI

As things get nasty, in general and in the primaries, remember-*REMEMBER*-that people are the only valid reason to do what we do. See you all tomorrow with the Viola Liuzza post

March 25th will be a big Viola Liuzzo history and post. Juat a heads up as I'm going to need time to get a photo of a lesser memorial. But more folks need to know about her

Want to thank everyone for listening, I can be argument and I'll defend any if my positions. If you care, great. If I made you laugh or think, even better. If you saw something you'd like to imitate, better still. If posts or reposts gave you an idea to take action that helped people, best of all

I'm from Michigan...I'm not used to elections mostly being done by 10. You mean there's no waiting until 12:30 am for major county drops? Wtf?

For Illinois primary voters

Pvery last #rehabprogress - I've now progressed so far that insurance is no longer paying for rehab. I have *close* to 100% of my mobility back, really just extending my arm sideway/up that's limited and even that's coming around

Whether Platner is toast or not in the general depends on whether ME voters know all of his obfuscation regarding the tattoo or just know that he had a "questionable" tattoo (thanks for laundering him again Psaki)? If the former, Platner may be scandal proof. If the later, we're screwed on the Sen

Gonna have a talk on cynicism. I haven't been perfect (if y'all want to post examples, feel free) but I try to promote taking action, and encourage others to do so. As such, I utterly despise the "no, not like that" attitude that prevades a lot of the overwhelming naysayers.

Reading through the candidates I can find who are filing as Dem candidates all over Michigan. Don't you dare tell me this doesn't matter when so many regular folks are stepping up regardless of the odds

In the week I couldn't schedule PT sessions I did workouts religiously, tried some that the bands might have been a bit too tough for and, starting on last Thursday, I noticed I regained *most* of my range of motion forward and back (and over 90 degrees to the side) *without* pain #rehabprogress

boy in retrospect, really shouldn’t have elected the worst person in the entire country president. that, it appears, was less than wise

A note on why I am who I am, for good or ill: I've often found that someone refusing to question themselves or their beliefs is when the doors to real hurt and damage occur (Trump's a great example). So I'll always raise the question and be willing to disagree...and welcome that from others.

Before bed but, regarding Platner, given the amount of demonstratable lies he's told on the tattoo what makes you so convinced he'll keep his word on whatever pet issue you have? Do you really believe that deep down?

It's a dangerous business, living for others and trying to make things better-if you aren't careful, and you have some success...why, you realize you can help other people...then you realize other chances...

Theres a lot I'm not going to touch and a lot to think on before I post on the TX Primary. However, two things can be simultaneously true: I can believe that the uncounted Dallas voted would not have changed the winner for the Sen primary *but* that all votes should be counted, &to not is dangerous

I want to congratulate High Point, NC Mayor Cyril Jefferson in winning the North Carolina 6th district Democratic Primary tonight. Cyril Jefferson appears to be the only elected Dem official to take a shot at a R house district vs the NC gerrymandering. Good luck Mayor Jefferson

Weird local question for my SE Michigan people-are there any vacant 3rd Circuit court Judgeships up this year? Just checking

While Klein is justifiably getting yelled at, the bigger problem is that the nazi stuff, save the tattoo which got laundered and killed as an issue by Jen Psaki late last year, *isn't* penatratjng Bluesky to the normies.

They named the mission, just so the administration could try to be all Hollywood and say "Epic Fury" like it's got a musical stinger at the end during a presser, didn't they?

A kesser important, but valid, subplot to the Fraham Platner quote tweeted anti semite Stew Peters-Dems need to get off twitter. As twitter takes on Musks personality, thw amount of anti Semitic and racist content and commenters being promoted is gonna continue to go way up

For those who don’t remember we went into the 2003 Iraq war basically unprepared. Families bought body armor for their deployed relatives because military didn’t have enough. www.cbsnews.com/news/many-ir...

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

He said he would lower grocery prices on day one. He lied. He said he would lower your taxes. He lied. He said he would only deport criminals. He lied. He said he would end wars. He lied. He said he would put “America first.” It was all a big, beautiful lie.

The folks trying to score internal political points on other Dems while Iranians are dying need to look to their hearts. The situation is bigger than petty squabbling or ego

Just a reminder from someone who was in college when Iraq started-the actual war, regardless of how it goes, isn't the entire story, it's the occupation and after effects where things can really get bad.

#rehabprogress I can drive locally and I'm now pretty much living without pain. I know I've been fortunate in the speed of this recovery

Why I'm friends from everyone from DSA left to true centrists-above all, I'm about doing the work to help others. If you aren there helping others, I will also be there. You could call it the "pro-doing the work" wing ofnthe party

UAW members at Volkswagen Chattanooga made history last week, ratifying a first-ever contract by an incredible 96%! This is a breakthrough victory for Southern autoworkers and for working people everywhere.

Okay, not stepping in the current Bluesky fight but...who the fuck wants Gavin Newsom as the nominee? Centrists think he's a used carsalesman who'd be a disaster in the general, unions are luke warm (at best), and progressives hate him sue to statements about trans people...so who wants him?

I now have two different US Labor starter packs, one full and one almost full gor anyone looking for a broad list of unions, people in unions, academics related to labor, and associated productions and related entities. Feel free to click my section or, if need be, I can repost both of them.

You can also STILL DONATE - links here They'll be tallying donations until (i think) midnight ET tonight so if you want to have yourself counted in our total be sure to email in your receipts before then. postersmadness.wordpress.com

#rehabprogress was able to raise my arm up, to the point of being almost a hand raise, on my own, albeit after getting in proper form a couple of times with an assist

I think all the time, whenever Trump is President, about this quote from the miniseries Chernobyl

Fharity livestream counter programmjng to SoTU

Okay, pet peeve time: anytime anyone complains about candidates, and when asked about who they'd like says "Well, it isn't my job to..."actually it is, and in Michigan, many folks *did* find that candidate...namely, themselves. I'm honored to witness the many, many everyday people who've stepped up.

Romulus Mayor Robert McCraight on ICE plans for detention center in his city: "This is nothing that we want here. ... We will not issue a permit or certificate of occupancy unless we're mandated by a federal judge."

Okay, what's the dtory on alleged violionce that occurred at the Romulus protest? Just another RW lie?

Proud of anyone coming out to protest in Romulus today
