We love this Upper Peninsula weather, but life could stand to get a bit easier. Let's start with living wages, Medicare for All, debt-free education, and truly affordable housing.

Last chance to supply up or shovel the roof. If you know of anyone who might need help, please make a connection now. This one's going to be brutal.

Maybe one of these days we'll initiate a two-week, $20B kinetic action against our housing crisis, eh?

We are proud to endorse Kyle Blomquist for Congressional District 1. Kyle is not only a DSA member, but a candidate whose values and policies align directly with our chapter priorities. Stay tuned for upcoming events as we collect signatures to get Kyle on the primary ballot!

Women make it all work. They carry our households, workplaces, communities, and culture. Let's honor, support, and empower them this International Women's Day by passing meaningful legislation to improve their lives, make the world safer and more equitable. 1/2

I'm honored to recieve the endorsement of the MDP Progressive Caucus! Together, we will fight for the prosperity of the American working class and more humane policy, at home and abroad.

Continuing to meet folks where they are across all 36 (!) counties in Michigan's 1st District. This week, we're swinging to the shores of Lake Huron in the eastern Lower then hitting the south, west, and northern edges of the U.P. for a series of candidate forums!

Congress must act now to pull us back from war with Iran. Then, we must dismantle this war engine, prioritizing the well-being of our people at home over violence abroad.

Send me to Congress and I'll support Ro Khanna's House version. Time to tax the ultra-wealthy and care for the working class.

No War with Iran

The first fucking thing we did was kill dozens of kids in a school. Right now, all I feel is rage and grief. I know I'm not alone. Don't ignore it. Let it be fuel for purpose and action.

30 years. This video should be on every network.

Join us this Friday in the Soo for the next candidate forum, hosted by UP North Advocacy, LSSU Student Government Association, and League of Women Voters of the Eastern U.P.! Bring your friends, regardless of partisan leaning. We're building working-class power.

No war with Iran. No war, period. We need to stop our endless military expansion & pivot away from a war economy. We should be spending our resources at home improving the lives of our people, not terrorizing the world & risking American lives to enrich a powerful, amoral few.

SCOTUS has ruled that Trump's tariffs are unconstitutional. U.S. companies not only passed those costs on to their customers, but in many cases, used tariffs as a smoke screen to raise prices even higher. We must fight to ensure any refunds go to consumers, not corporations.

The genocide in Gaza is still on-going. Human rights abuse and annexation is still happening in the West Bank. They never stopped and you're still paying for it.

Nurses know best: your basic needs go neglected while we fund ICE's violent spectacle. Enough is enough.

Join us this Friday in Gaylord for the firstin a series of candidate forums, hosted by Indivisible chapters throughout the U.P. & Northern Michigan! This will be a moderated, townhall-style event, open to public, with invites extended to all MI-01 Congressional candidates. See you all there!

At a bare minimum, the Democratic Party must: 1) Atone for their support of genocide & end aid to Israel 2) Stop allowing billionaires & corporations to determine party outcomes 3) Break with anyone named as a potential predator in the Epstein files

Valid work permit. Lived in the U.S. for 20 years. No criminal record. American spouse. In the final stages of a long legal immigration process. He is a conservative's platonic ideal of coming here "the right way". Yet, he's been in detention for 5 months. Who does this benefit?

50 years of tax breaks, austerity, and privatization has led to this. The tax breaks are for them. The austerity is for us. And now they own everything that the working class built.

The U.S. blockade is starving the people of Cuba. Conditions are growing more dire by the day. Their misery doesn't make your life in America better. It serves nothing but a twisted, imperialist vendetta. End the blockade. Lift embargos. Let Cuba live.

The existence of billionaires is not incidental to your life in the working class. Wealth built on exploitation & control is naturally used to exploit & control. Elon Musk spent $290M on the 2024 election. At $852B, his wealth grows by that much every day or so. Your democracy is a rounding error.

Join us for a casual meet up—come say hello and learn more about our chapter and what it means to be part of the largest socialist organization the country. We will also have petitions circulating for @blomquist4congress.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, Mop Up MI, and Invest in MI Kids!

I'm starting to think those tax breaks ain't trickling down, folks.

Every single narrative around immigration - from economic impact to crime rate - is so easily disproven. We should call the prevailing rhetoric what it is: immigration hysteria in service of authoritarianism and an utter waste of resources.

Love SNOW. Tolerate COLD. Abolish ICE.

Your life should be defined by more than stress, toil, and exploitation. You don't exist to boost the GDP or create shareholder value. You deserve rest and leisure.

Boastfully exporting U.S. tax dollars to fund a genocidal foreign nation. If the Democratic party has any hope for reconciliation with the American people, this man must be nowhere near party leadership.

Join us Wednesday evening in Marquette, hosted by NMU College Democrats & Young DSA! All are welcome. Regardless of your age or political leaning, I want to offer you real representation, answer your questions, and share a bold, positive vision for the U.P. & Northern Michigan.

Abolishing ICE is neither radical or politically toxic. It's the moderate, mainstream position of the American public.

ICE agent in a private chat with colleagues: "Ten versus one and somehow they couldn’t find a way to subdue the guy...They all carry belts and vests with 9,000 pieces of equipment on them and the best they can do is shoot a guy in the back?” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ices-secre...

We have absolutely no need for a $1T military or armed immigration enforcement. None. Our federal budget priorities have been entirely dominated by post-9/11 national security hysteria. We need to stop legitimizing this madness as normal, necessary, or inescapable.

Well, it looks like TikTok has begun to censor our content, locking anything critical of ICE at 0 views. Follow me on @upscrolled.bsky.social as we continue building there. share.upscrolled.com/en/user/4ebd...

I'm in a border district. My people in the U.P. can't see a doctor or afford housing. Some are living in bitter cold without heat or hope. D.C. continues to treat this xenophobic immigration hysteria as a legitimate priority while my people's basic needs are forgotten. That is utterly enraging.

If they can murder a VA nurse for filming them and use his lawful carrying of a firearm to justify it, then you have neither your 1st or 2nd Amendment rights. They are nothing but words on yellowed paper and you have forfeited your essential liberties to appease the power of the State.

Excessive force preceding yet another brutal state execution on American streets. This is what happens when you arm fragile egos with absolute immunity. This is power run amok. ICE must be torn down to the last brick, not given another $10B to murder us with. Abolish ICE.

ICE is murdering mothers as the cost of childcare cripples working families. ICE is kidnapping 5-year-olds as our teachers hold 2nd jobs to pay for classroom supplies. ICE is assaulting U.S. citizens as our rural hospitals are closing. These are all connected. Abolish ICE.

They spent 2 years liquidating a concentration camp in Gaza and now the genocidaires are planning a resort on the ruins where people still live despite it all. This same brutality & moral rot is reflected on American streets now. None of us are free until Palestine is free.

"Now is not the time to send the Gestapo to sensitivity training or tweak their SOPs while we pump more and more resources into them... Now is the time to ABOLISH ICE."

Who tf wants to live in "show me your papers" America? Half of you have expired proof of reg in the glovebox and leave your deer tags back at the camp.

The People's House has 435 members. Only 79 voted against sending 3.3 billion U.S. taxpayer dollars to a foreign government perpetrating a genocide. 79 with courage & conscience. 356 enabling Israel's violence. 356 to replace in 2026.

Abolishing ICE is both urgent and essential. We need leaders with the courage to say so and the conviction to do so. #abolishice #michigan #election2026

This is a good thing, potentially sparing millions of Americans from premium increases & loss of coverage. While it may allow a moment of relief, don't lose your urgency or celebrate the status quo. Don't let them use the threat of worse to make you happy with less. Demand more. Medicare for All.

As the Trump administration rushes to justify the killing in Minneapolis, do not fall victim to complacency. Do not assume that the system works by default or take accountability for granted. Do not sit quietly. Justice is not inevitable unless we demand it.

ICE agents have shot & killed a woman in Minneapolis. It appears to be the unjustifiable murder of a U.S. citizen at the hands of a reckless, masked agent. My heart breaks for the victim's family & community. We must not accept violence without accountability. Abolish ICE. (1/2)

Combat buy-borrow-die. Tax wealth over $500M. Increase income tax on the Top 10%. Tax capital gains higher than labor. End Citizens United.

Now to present the GOP's healthcare plan*, here is Rick Scott, a hundred-millionaire who oversaw the largest healthcare fraud in U.S. history. *surprise: the plan is go f--- yourself.

Americans are waking to the fact that our checks and balances could only ever work if people weren't corrupt, cowardly, and compliant. However, unfettered capitalism and tribal politics functionally guarantee corruption, cowardice, and compliance.
