It’s not often we get the chance to join a true grassroots movement to change the system.

Ranked Choice Voting can lower the temperature of our politics and lift up the will of the people — together we can make Michigan a model for the nation.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

Ranked Choice Voting isn’t theory — it’s results.

When voters have more choice, democracy gets stronger. Let’s bring these results home to Michigan.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

The most annoying thing about Bill Gates' recent #climate comments is the assumption that we can deal with climate OR public health as though we can't afford to do both and that they're not related.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Trump's lack of respect for America's laws, institutions, and the Constitution have been clear for years. But his disrespect for the American people and embrace of disgusting AI-generated videos of him literally s******* on Americans are next level.

In the literature, we call rallies like this "image events" because they help **focus media attention** on a major strain of ideological resistance that is big enough for lots of people to feel comfortable. They create IMAGES that FOCUS our ATTENTION and AFFECT to mobilize frequently.
