We were listening to Yousef Rabhi's victory speech when my 68-year-old landlord turned to me gravely and asked, "why are the socialists celebrating?" And when I told him, "because you helped get a DSA member elected," he started painting over the outlets with a can of flat, beige latex. #a2council

Opinion | Christopher Taylor has conceded to Yousef Rabhi. Here's why this is bad news for Yousef Rabhi. #a2council

Tax breaks for developers, which I never support, created the housing at 841 Broadway, which I didn't support, and cleaned up the riverfront to make a park, which I said I'd never visit, that I visited to campaign against tax breaks for developers, which I never support. #a2council by Yousef Rabhi

Opinion | I have run for office nine times in my life. Here's why I shouldn't be expected to follow campaign finance laws. #a2council by Yousef Rabhi

My 69-year-old, DSA-supporting campus landlord was reading Mlive when she asked me gravely, “why is the state board of elections claiming that Yousef Rabhi broke the law?” When I told her, “because the capitalist Taylor Machine’s tentacles go all the way to the top,” she started crying. #a2council

Bannister’s dishonest mailers, which I did not support, and Library Green’s illegal ads, which I did not support, and Yousef’s illegal mailers, which I also did not support, wouldn’t be necessary if Mayor Taylor would just Democratize Density, which I do not support. #a2council

Opinion | To shake up the local Democratic establishment, we must elect the candidate who has held elected office continuously since he was 22 years old. #a2council

The corporate interests running the party will use any excuse to push for deregulating lettuce. Taylor's social media sycophants are like high schoolers wanting to be accepted in some food poisoning cool kids clique—this is just high school politics applied to parasites. Follow the runny! #a2council

#a2council

The Michigan Daily Editorial Board has endorsed Mayor Taylor. Here's why that's bad news for Mayor Taylor. #a2council

Whether it's the explosion of Mayor Taylor's new highrise developments or the explosive diarrhea from Taylor Farms' salads, Taylor is certainly making a mess of this town. #a2council

City staff says the Ann Arbor sewer system is designed to safely handle the projected growth of the next 50 years. But we spoke to a man in a top hat who ate a salad at a Northside Diner a week ago, and he's not so sure. #a2council

Opinion | Anonymous social media users are a toxic influence on local politics. #a2council by Sam Rosenthal

I printed out Ann Arbor’s whole entire Comprehensive Land Use Plan (including appendices) and read through it. I also printed out the old plan so I could compare it side-by-side, as well as the Natural Features Plan. In my opinion, the new plan doesn’t go far enough to protect trees. #A2Council

I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog owner. But unless the Humane Society disavows the cute picture of Mayor Taylor and a rescue dog, I’ll have no choice but to sell these Dalmatian puppies to the eccentric heiress in the fur coat with the evil laugh. #a2council

Opinion | I have long supported Elissa Slotkin, who voted to confirm Kristi Noem, a woman who kills puppies for sport. But her endorsement of Mayor Taylor was a bridge too far. #a2council

Opinion | Governor Whitmer has endorsed Mayor Taylor. Here's why that's bad news for Mayor Taylor. #a2council

Planned Parenthood says it has endorsed Mayor Taylor. A former councilmember who quoted Redemption Song in defense of Jeff Hayner after he used racial slurs says it hasn’t. For busy Nextdoor users, it can be difficult to know who to trust. #a2council

MLive News Alert | A group of approximately fourteen residents is outraged by a Luxury Student High Rise project a block from campus. In other news: Feast your eyes on this five-bed, five-bath Arbor Hills dreamboat listed at $1.8m. It’s MLive’s House of the Week! #a2council

Some say there's no proof Mayor Taylor has used the Weather Shield to his own advantage by dialing up a heat wave just as absentee ballots are delivered and the city's first splash pad came online. But in this Northside Diner, patrons aren't so sure. #a2council

My 9-year-old son was reading ESPN when he asked me gravely, “Dad, why is Dusty May leaving for the NBA?” When I told him “because Mayor Taylor's war on cars besieged Ann Arbor with bike lanes,” he started crying. #a2council

Council members and AAPD say that an increased police presence at #a2council meetings is a prudent response to a troubling increase in physical threats directed at CMs. But world-renowned security expert Kathy Griswold is not so sure.

Should Christopher Taylor continue to be Ann Arbor's mayor? We asked a panel of Barton Hills residents and Ypsilanti slumlords, and they're not so sure. #a2council

Between Mayor Taylor's bike lanes forcing the restaurant owner to retire, and Bruce Laidlaw's prosecution of 4th Ave businesses, those in search of an Afternoon Delight will need to look elsewhere. #a2council

Opinion | Communism is when I'm not allowed to annoy the entire neighborhood with extremely loud lawn equipment. #a2council

Whether it’s More Neighbors A2 sending out a housing questionnaire, or 1st Ward candidate Rebecca Arends laundering her attacks on More Neighbors A2 through Ann Arbor’s most toxic conspiracy blog, it’s clear that both sides have a civility problem. #a2council

My 56-year-old son was reading the A2Indy when he asked me gravely, “daddy why is Rebecca Arends writing Op/Eds for Pat Lesko’s conspiracy blog?” When I told him, “because Arends refuses to participate in gutter social media politics,” he started crying. #a2council

Opinion | Ann Arbor’s population grew by almost 800 residents over the last year, the largest increase in the county. But I also read on Nextdoor that Tios had to close because of a beef with their landlord, so it’s impossible to say whether Ann Arbor is a popular place to live. #a2council

Opinion | As a pro-business Democrat and two-time Rick Snyder voter, maintaining our roads is a critical issue for me. But unless the city immediately opens 4th Ave so I can park my Tesla in front of Sottinis, I’ll be forced to vote for a mayor who thinks private property is a crime. #a2council

In this midwest college town it was tradition: plant national champion buckthorn and fragrant Bradford pears, then have a nice egg cream at Drake’s. Now the woke connectivity gestapo wants to take that all away. #a2council
