Hailey is at 10 percent of her goal.

Can we get her to 15 percent? If a bunch of folks kicked in $5 to $10, we'd be there.

Invest in MI Kids Putting kids first. Building a stronger Michigan for everyone.

Michigan has a measure on the ballot called "Invest in MI Kids." This would put a 5% tax on the top 1% earners in Michigan - taxing the rich. This will give Michigan schools the funds needed to cover budget deficits resulting from federal education cuts. investinmikids.org

I just went to my first DSA event in Metro Detroit, and I'm definitely going to sign up and come back. You probably already saw this, but I saw that there's going to be a DSA 101 in North Georgia next week:

Reminder that Stein does not simply have a history of boosting Russian talking points, but she also dined at the same table as Putin in 2015 in Moscow.

Her continued push of disinformation around this unfolding conflict (even after being corrected) should not be dismissed as a simple error (1)

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase β€œaccused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory β€œhasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Taxpayer dollars flood pregnancy centers. Oversight hasn't followed. β€’ Michigan Advance Editor’s note: This is the first report in an ongoing series. The patient came in with a belly full of blood, Dr. Leilah Zahedi-Spung recalled. Her pregnancy was ectopic, no longer viable, and could h...

Crisis pregnancy centers, which discourage women from seeking abortion and contraception, have been the beneficiary of at least a half-billion dollars since the U.S. Supreme Court ended federal abortion protections in June 2022, a @statesnewsroom.com investigation found.

Twenty percent of ppl with measles will end up hospitalized. And we have no treatment for it.

Get vaccinated if you're able. Make sure you've got some immunity if your doctor will run your titers. If you're unsure if you were vaccinated, or have an older vaxx consider getting a booster.

This isn't 'soaking' the super-rich! It's not even leaving them damp. The top 900 billionaires could easily afford this and not feel it at all

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these aren’t isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents.

Here’s that investigation she’s referring to:

Update!

My energy level isn't quite up to building shelves so today was mostly about cleaning books and deep cleaning some of our existing shelves. Pictured is our DIY/Tech/Computer/Math section, newly cleaned & (mostly) restocked.

Only nine days until we reopen!

Quick update! My family put me on sick leave this past weekend: had me stay home, in bed, for 3 days while my daughter hung out at the store and fed the cats.

It was very nice and I'm doing a decent bit better. But it's still Long Covid, which means I can still overdo it if I'm not careful.

WTF? Florida Legislators Want To Pass Bill Authorizing Their Own CIA The bill’s language allows scrutiny based on β€˜views’ and β€˜opinions’, a standard that echoes some of the darkest chapters of American surveillance history.

"Florida Intelligence Agency" would be one of the greatest oxymorons in political history.
