Friday Short. With rising inflation, soaring energy costs, weak job market, insane tariffs, and the unpopular Iran War, why in the world are MAGA Republicans considered the "fiscally responsible" party? audioboom.com/posts/888686...

We need @michiganmop.bsky.social on the ballot to limit DTE's and Consumers' Energy's stranglehold in Lansing! But remember, Gov. Whitmer removed a clean energy advocate on the MPSC, and inserted a pro-utility industry person, who was also on the former Democratic House Speaker's staff.

Immigrants weren’t just filling existing jobs; they were helping create them. That’s Econ 101: jobs are not a fixed pie. More people means more customers, more demand, more businesses expanding, and yes, more hiring.

Solar and wind farm in Gratiot County. I think I'd rather invest in more of these than Trump's (and Israel's right wing government's) War on Iran.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️

It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

Let me reiterate this. When reproductive rights are protected, medical decisions stay in the hands of patients and their doctors — not politicians who have their pockets lined by private insurance companies who have no idea what you or I truly need.

Louder! 👏

Watching Michigan & MSU tourney basketball, and seeing campaign ads for Republicans John James & Aric Nesbit, and some for Mike Duggan. Haven't seen one ad for Jocelyn Benson yet. Seems like a missed opportunity for Democrats to reach voters if they want to keep Governor's seat.

Deeply honored and grateful to have the support of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a leader who has never been afraid to put justice, humanity, and the truth ahead of political convenience. Her courage has helped blaze the path for so many of us.

When you believe the purpose of politics is to get elected for the sake of doing so, it's confusing to witness a leader who believes the purpose of politics is to enact an agenda.

Allow people to pray and worship without fearing for their lives. Whether it's at a church in Wayne or a synagogue in West Bloomfield. Violence is never an answer, or a solution.

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
