Holland, Michigan 😇 Gerrymander ending petition strategist who stopped Ottawa Impact and broke the A² NIMBY City Council majority🇺🇸 he/him/his 🇲🇽 Words are my own🦉
Muskegon Heights City Hall got raided by the feds @audacityofdespair.bsky.social 👀
A bill Governor Whitmer vetoed today would have made certain types accounts like disability benefits,off limits for debt collectors. That consumer debt is now being mixed in with AI data center financing. And, "The Big Short" investor Michael Burry is shorting Nvidia stock.
Time to start a math tutor program for adults with college degrees in Ann Arbor #a2council
NIMBYs can't stop themselves from saying the quiet part out loud. They don't want affordable housing. They want that parking lot to stay a parking lot. They didn't want a park next to the library either 🤷🏽♂️ #a2council
Betsy DeVos' pyramid scheme cash isn't enough for Bill Huizenga. Last night, Bill grovelled to AIPAC, hat in hand, for help in his race. 👉🏽 They know the 4th CD is in play. 👉🏽 They know Bill is the least popular politician in Michigan. Sean Mccann has them running terrified.
No one alive today did. Both parties were incredibly racist when the KKK started. Today, as in right now, Democrats are the ones ripping apart white supremacist organizations, and the GOP are targeting groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center who are leading this fight against the KKK.
When they try to say that the Democratic Party started the klan...
If you hate gerrymandering, you need to follow me. I haven't gotten on this platform seriously, but I feel like I need to. I'm Joe Spaulding, my strategy led the petition that ended gerrymandering in Michigan to victory in 2018. Democracy warriors have so much work ahead of us. Let's get to it.
The US Supreme Court just voted 8-1 to legalize the barbaric practice of conversion therapy. I'm wondering which Michigan politicians have to consider making some of their supporters sad before they decide to speak out against this heinous ruling.
How many cans of dip do you think bro can fit in these pouches?
Every tragedy has to happen at least twice now, and the second time is always wrapped around Donald Trump's opinion of himself
I don't know how many of you Michiganders are following the drama in the Republican Party in Congressional District 1, which covers Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, but here is a very brief summary:
I had two interactions, both in NYC, with Reverend Jesse Jackson. Once in 2004 and again in 2011. I told those stories on a different platform with a much higher character limit, which you can read at this link: May he rest in power. www.facebook.com/share/p/185D...
Republican Congressperson Lisa McClain from Michigan tries to laugh off her own blatant corruption. She and her husband invested heavily in an AI company whose stock wasn't even available to the public just days before the Pentagon approved a major contract with that company.
Every single one of these Oakley wearing redneck idiots saying this crap sits around a campfire every summer where somebody brags about telling a state trooper to piss off after getting pulled over, and they all nod along like imbeciles. It's militia adjacent culture.
Grand Rapids is all too familiar with police escalating situations needlessly until they can justify executing somebody they are victimizing. This isn't a Minnesota problem. And it's not just ICE, although we need to have a serious talk about abolishing this particular government goon squad.
Everyone I know who read Foucault in high school turned out messed up in better ways than everyone I know who didn't
I'm starting to think Julie's New Year's resolution was to start indiscriminately taking drugs
When you criticize Betsy DeVos in her hometown, the worst hobgoblins come out to tell on themselves:
There are 2 enclaves for the super wealthy in the Ottawa County part of the West Michigan coast. One of them is Lake Macatawa where Betsy DeVos and Erik Prince were raised, and the other is on Mona Lake. If the Lake Michigan story is true, Betsy and Erik Prince very likely met Jeffrey Epstein.
