"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —Martin Luther King, Jr.
Fellow Michiganders… if you’re considering voting for Stevens in next Tuesday’s primary… maybe watch this video first to see how little respect she has for her constituents.
Cannot get over how electable just drifting away from a constituent who asked you a challenging question makes you.
When your friend invites you join them in their suite at the ballgame, you say yes! The Lugnuts won and all the kids ran the bases at the end. America’s favorite pastime, indeed. ✨⚾️
Thursday I picked up some free yard signs at a local business. I grabbed a William Lawrence sign and then asked if they had any El-Sayed signs. They replied that “they are hard to get”. There’s a definite excitement around Abdul that I just don’t see happening for Hailey.
The entire Democratic establishment and its corporate donors are rallying at the last second, along with $40+ million from AIPAC, to push Stevens over the edge. Tells you they're terrified of what Abdul represents. Hope Michiganders can see through it.
You cannot claim to be the watchdogs of democracy while sharing champagne and hors d'oeuvres with the very people trying to dismantle it.
I love the Upper Peninsula of Michigan so much. What a great end to the day.
The Black Crowes did not disappoint Saturday night at Pine Knob. Working musicians know that sonically, the best seats in the house are behind the sound crew. As a bonus, sometimes you get to peep the set list. Long live rock n roll.
I am a huge enthusiast of the enigma that was Vivian Maier. I currently have her sprinkler self-portrait as my phone wallpaper.

The Sony Walkman was first introduced on this day in 1979. It would go on to sell over 350 million units in cassette, CD and digital file versions worldwide. Did you own one?
This year, Juneteenth falls 7 weeks after SCOTUS gutted the VRA, unwinding decades of progress & undoing a key pillar of the fight for equality. While Republicans are doing all they can to turn back the clock, Juneteenth reminds us that we must never rest in the pursuit of justice.
The 17yr-old is talking about his favourite band. "And sometimes they release singles that aren't quite as good, and they call them B-sides, I didn't know why. Have you heard of that? 'B-sides'. Weird." I'm just crumbling away to ancient dust over here.
Zohran Mamdani is 34 years old. YOUNG PEOPLE CAN LEAD EFFECTIVELY. You don't have to be 70 with "life experience" to do a good job.
I don’t promote my shows on here very often, but for those located in the mitten state, this is gonna be a very big weekend of music- for a very low price! #MichiganMusic 🎟️ 🔗👇🏼
Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:
I'm Mike Lindell. I'm Herschel Walker. I'm Mel Gibson. I'm Sidney Powell. I'm Riley Gaines. Those stories and more. Tonight. On 60 Minutes.
Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.
When we have a real president again, he or she will have to waste inordinate amounts of time cleaning up the terrible mess created by this awful mistake of a human who never should have been allowed near the levers of power.
The GOP Platform: Protect the fetus; starve the child. Honor the soldier; abandon the veteran. Enrich the corporation; fleece the worker. Quote the Bible; ignore the verses.
NEW: The top lawyer at the Treasury Department just resigned. Even though he clerked for Clarence Thomas, perhaps the $1.7B heist was probably too much. Also note the Times (right) and the WSJ (left) refer to it as a settlement. The judge found IT IS NOT A SETTLEMENT. 1/
