Prescription drugs are about to get even more expensive. Trump is coming for Medicare Part D subsidies, which try to keep drug prices down (they're still too high.) We desperately need Medicare for All. No parts A, B, C, or D. No premiums, co-pays, deductibles. Just healthcare when you need it.
I would love for the energy spent saving one tree in Seattle to instead be directed towards saving the thousands of trees that are cut each year for our sprawling suburbs and rural estates.
Rank MI Vote PAC is proud to endorse these pro-voter, pro-democracy Michigan legislators for re-election. 🗳️ Thank you to our endorsed candidates for supporting legislation to give more choice and more voice to Michigan voters by allowing #RankedChoiceVoting to be implemented in city elections. 👏
My first visit to Ann Arbor was as a boy. Raised by a single mother in poverty, I found even making the trip from the south side of Jackson to be a struggle. But arriving here, I was struck by the beauty, community, and simple fact that other kids were thriving in ways I was not. 🧵 #A2Council
Am told at the blue ash Ohio ICE office today that a bunch of springfield Haitians were told to just “check in” at are now having ankle monitors put on them, which, uh….. they’re not supposed to be fucking doing that
OMG THEY GOT JOE'S LACK OF A CHIN SO PERFECTLY. I bet I hate most everything "Faithful Conservatives for Michigan" support, but I am all for the infighting among these folks. Joe Moss is a grifter and a weasel.
Because apparently socialism in Ann Arbor means hanging out with library haters, NIMBYs, and rich people who live in the townships? #A2Council
Sliding my finger across every button on the top row of the keyboard because I don't actually know which one turns on my laptop
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.
All of your cruel posts have Mitch McConnell rolling over in his grave
After Mallory McMorrow suspended her Senate campaign, some Michigan voters wondered: "What if I already voted?" With Ranked Choice Voting, they wouldn't have to. They could have ranked a backup choice from the start, and their ballot would still reflect their preferences. buff.ly/OQtCKs0

All I'm saying, #A2Council, is the YIMBYs actually delivered on a splash pad, and it is quite hot out.
The Greek demands pristine bills, but Clay Davis doesn't care if they show up in a garbage bag. I'm not sure how you can understand politics if you don't watch The Wire.
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.

Peter Sinclair@peterwsinclair.bsky.social · 5mo agoAn Inconvenient Truth is 20 today. It's only become more inconvenient for the Fossil fuel barons with time. They've shown they're willing to lock down the world in an authoritarian state if that's what it takes to maintain revenues - and power. thinc.blog/2026/05/24/2...
Last month at the Michigan Democratic Nominating Convention, we saw firsthand how Ranked Choice Voting could have made the entire process better for everyone involved. If you believe in stronger representation and better elections for all, join our movement to bring Ranked Choice Voting to Michigan

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.
