We can organize everywhere.
We can flip red seats.
We can flip entire chambers.
And we can govern like we give a damn.

Let’s show the rest of the country how to fight like Michigan.

Why do you straight up lie, Elise Stefanik?

Tish James has unequivocally stated she will not pay for her defense with that fund.

What is actually a “disturbing reminder” is what a shill you are for Trump and his nakedly partisan direction to make his lackey charge his enemy.

At least 6 vehicles racing through a quiet suburban neighborhood; multiple agents, all of them armed and masked.

the excessive response plus the violence against this 15 year old girl is outrageous.

“It feels like there’s been a real shift over the last six months or so in terms of the public just becoming aware of what data centers are,” said Ben Green, assistant professor of information at the University of Michigan. “And becoming increasingly skeptical.”

Towns are saying no to AI data centers. One got sued over it.

A developer sued a Michigan township after it voted against a data center proposal. Cities in Ohio and Missouri have explored data center bans.

Careful and powerful analysis by @gregsargent.bsky.social of the New York Times treating Trump's propagandists as "provocateurs" and decision to treat MAGA's ideologically-driven lies as part of a legitimate clash of perspectives in describing Portland.

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
