The already high cost of healthcare is about to skyrocket for millions of Americans, all while health insurance CEOs give themselves another bonus. Healthcare is a human right. Michiganders deserve better and @reprheingans.bsky.social has a plan

Join our office on the MiCare #HealthcareForAll tour!

You don’t have to like Kimmel to see what happened was a dangerous assault on the 1st Amendment. The FCC threatening companies to remove comedians for speech the admin doesn’t like is as unAmerican as it gets. If you claim to love free speech, but are celebrating Kimmel’s cancellation, you do not.

From The Daily: Vote yes on Ann Arbor proposals A and B This Editorial Board endorses these proposals and believes that the development of this new, multi-use structure would offer many new opportunities to the Ann Arbor District Library and the greater lo...

If you live in Ann Arbor and haven’t voted yet, please get out there today and vote “YES” on Proposals A and B!

Voting “YES” will expand the downtown library and increase the housing supply in our city, all without raising taxes!

In America, we bow to no king. We embrace freedom, democracy, and equal protection under the law. It’s liberty and justice for ALL, not just for some.

Happy Independence Day, America. Let’s remember what our founding fathers and mothers fought and died for and do right by them.

❌Viewing half of your fellow countrymen and women as the enemy, stirring up hatred and division, and refusing to condemn acts of stochastic terrorism is NOT patriotic

✅But using your First Amendment rights to criticize a President who would rather be a king and his enablers IS patriotic.

❌Rounding up people and sending them to war-torn countries without giving them their constitutional due process rights is NOT patroitic

❌Building concentration camps and gleefully talking about cruelties to be inflicted upon vulnerable people is NOT patriotic

❌Taking away healthcare from 16 million people and food away from hungry children to give billionaires another tax break they don’t need is NOT patriotic

❌Masked, unaccountable secret police terrorizing our communities with a budget greater than that of Russia’s entire military is NOT patriotic

Don’t let them tell you that you aren’t patriotic if you push back on their hateful agenda. 🧵

If you haven’t been paying attention, wake the fuck up. Trump is close to invoking the Insurrection Act, declaring martial law to turn our country into a police state. If he can send marines to LA, he can send them to ur community too

Know your rights. They can’t take those away without our consent

RFK Jr. Set to Launch Disease Registry Tracking Autistic People And he’s using private medical records to make it happen.

The government is going to collect PRIVATE medical records of people withh autism, including prescriptions, genomics information and smart watch data, and then put people on a LIST.

This is Nazi shit, full stop.

🚨This should concern everyone, regardless of your politics🚨

If they can disappear innocent people off the street to a concentration camp in a foreign country without due process, they can do it to you too

The people of Michigan have a message for Trump and Musk - #handsoff We will not give up our country, our democracy, our freedoms, and our future without a fight #fiftyfiftyone

Trump admin accidentally sent man to Salvadorian prison and can’t get him back Government argues it no longer has control over Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s fate

It’s not that they can’t, it’s that they WON’T. The Trump administration is blatantly sending innocent people to a gulag in another country without due process. This is morally reprehensible and should anger everyone. If they can do this to this man, what’s to stop them from doing it to you?

When you disappear people without due process, try to silence those who disagree with you, limit the free press, and make cuts to vital programs that working folks rely on to give 💰 to billionaires, people are going to be pissed. And if they’re not, there is something seriously wrong with them 2/2

Anyone else find it hilarious that Trump and the Republicans cannot comprehend just how unpopular their agenda is? They literally think that the only reason people would show up to protest them is because a billionaire paid them to do it 😂 (never mind Elon actually doing that) 🧵1/2

When you disappear people without due process, try to silence those who disagree with you, limit the free press, endanger national security, and make life more unaffordable for working folks, people are going to be pissed. And if they’re not, there is something seriously wrong with them 1/2

When Republicans had the majority in MI they spent decades slashing away at public schools and treating Michigan educators like adversaries. Now that they have control of the MI House, they're at it again, this time following the lead of the heinous anti-public education Trump administration.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Aside from the fact that there are literally ZERO trans girls currently enrolled in Michigan high school sports, it is disgusting that these people genuinely believe that bullying vulnerable CHILDREN will score them political points. History will not and should not look kindly on them 2/2

Today, all Michigan House Republicans and 8 House Democrats decided that amidst the rising cost of living, removal of checks and balances, and the detaining of legal permanent residents without due process, we needed to focus on preventing trans girls from playing sports 1/2

I cannot stress how dangerous this is. In the United States of America, we do NOT have kings. You could say it’s kind of our whole thing.

You cannot both support Trump’s attempts to consolidate power and consider yourself a patriot. You either believe in the Constitution or you don’t. Period.

Every day, more and more Jewish leaders break from decades of silence to reject ethnic cleansing. Thank you to these 350 rabbis using your voices in this moment to oppose Trump’s plans in Gaza and #SayNoToEthnicCleansing.

#GazaIsNotForSale

We will not sit idly by while Trump and Musk dismantle our democracy and rob the American people to enrich themselves and their billionaire buddies #BuildtheResistance #50501Michigan #RejectFascism #DefendOurDemocracy

A couple of things:

1. We pay more for 💊 than other countries because we treat healthcare as a business, not as a human right.

2. The cost of tariffs are ALWAYS passed on to consumers. And it is going to hurt

3. Starting unnecessary trade wars with our friends does make us the “stupid country”

Remember back to high school civics. There are 4 branches of govt: executive, legislative, judiciary, and the president’s unelected billionaire buddy who gets to control the Treasury Department’s payment systems w/ our $ and most sensitive data because he gave the campaign $250 million. Civics 101

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

MAGA yesterday: You LIBS are SICK! How dare you so soon after a crash mention Dear Leader Trump's shakeup at the FAA and how he gutted an aviation safety committee.

MAGA today: THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF BIDEN AND DIVERSITY!

So are we expecting repealing an executive order that lowered the cost of prescriptions for seniors, pardoning people who violently attacked police officers, ending birthright citizenship, and giving nazi salutes behind the Presidential seal to lower the cost of eggs today or is that tomorrow? 🤔

Amidst a teacher shortage, Michigan House Republicans say teachers should pay MORE for their healthcare as they try to stop the bill lowering their costs from being sent to Governor Whitmer’s desk #MiLeg

We introduced our first bill today, HB 4009, to repeal Michigan's preemption on local governments establishing rent stabilization policies. Cities across the state are asking for this because #TheRentIsTooDamnHigh ! #Rent #RentIsTooDamnHigh #A2Renters #MILeg #Michigan
