DTE at Motor City Pride is wild especially when they’re bankrolling MAGA causes through a shady nonprofit run by their own execs. Nothing says “support” like funding anti-LGBT extremism... and making sure the power goes out during a heatwave.

Raising the $7.25 an hour minimum wage to a living wage is not a radical idea.
Since 2020, voters in Florida, Nebraska, Missouri & Alaska approved a major increase in their minimum wage.
What’s radical is that the federal minimum wage has not gone up since 2009.

Trump's Big Bill:
-Expands his power to ignore court rulings
-Gives the ultra-wealthy an even bigger estate tax break
-Disqualifies nearly 2M children from the child tax credit
-Adds unnecessary red tape that would kick millions of people off Medicaid
It's a big, ugly mess.

Tom Barrett supports the $230 BILLION Trump-Musk SNAP cuts. That will leave thousands of Michigan kids, veterans and seniors without food. This is just more empty words from Tom Barrett.

Trump’s executive order to defund NPR & PBS is a gift to billionaires and a slap in the face to the rest of us.
He’d rather silence journalists than confront corporate greed.
We deserve leaders who work for the people, not silence them.

Healthcare is a human right, no discussion.
The US health care system is broken & wildly expensive.
The function of a health care system is not to provide billions in profits for insurance & drug companies. It is to provide quality care as a human right.
The time is NOW to pass Medicare for All.

The UAW made many attempts to protect the environment, including being an early supporter of the proposed Earth Day. Walter Reuther made speeches at campus teach-ins as a precursor to the holiday and the UAW made an initial donation of $2,000 to the Earth Day cause.

70 Michigan students are facing deportation. No explanation. No due process. Just revenge.
This is Trump making good on his threat to punish student protestors—and using immigration as his weapon.
Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s already here.
