Ann Arbor: get out there and vote yes today. If you’re not yet registered, you can register in person at City Hall at the Clerk’s Office and vote there.

Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can.

ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

What an obscenely terrible headline.

I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted.

The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

A talking head on CNN said they asked senior White House insider about Harvard, and asked how far up the ladder on escalation they were willing to go against them. Answer: "All the way. Nuclear. If we have to remove the school from the game board to make our point we will."

Honestly? Harvard is over a century older than the actual United States and if Flamin’ Hot Mussolini wants to grind himself into orange powder against its ivy-covered walls, let him try it

I can't believe they're making me wait until August to see this!!

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. The threats have changed since then, but its commitment has not.

It will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never will never obey.

But it’s the truth! 😂

I don’t understand where opponents of the Neurodiversity framework even get the idea that we are denying disability. I see myself as sometimes benefiting from the differences my autistic brain generates, and sometimes disabled by those differences. Many things can be true at once. #INSAR2025

Found the violent criminal gang activity

I’m pretty sure all the astronomers already heard this bad news, but idk how many other folks know about this proposal—NASA science would be absolutely GUTTED if this passed. US astronomy & astrophysics would be dead. We can’t let this happen—tell your reps, & your friends!

Don't worry, I'm sure the tens of thousands of workers who are losing government jobs -- you know, all those people doing science, enforcing regulations, doing humanitarian work, and other useless stuff -- will be glad to take up the slack.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis.

The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall.

1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

This is what fighting for your people looks like. I really don’t think we’d have seen Kilmar like this if Van Hollen hadn’t made this trip and refused to take no for an answer.

If I was a well known strategist in Number 10 I’d be worried that other anonymous strategists in the same building were ‘signing my name to stupid letters’

Oooo! And these are the type of people running our government, now! This nightmare is just getting starting and it already has me beside myself.

For those who need to hear this:

Your citizenship won’t save you.

Your proximity to whiteness won’t save you.

Even your education and money won’t save you.

The only thing that’ll save you is empathy for and solidarity with those harmed today. Because you’re on the block tomorrow.

I'll look for Olga's if/when I visit Grand Rapids again. I was there a few months ago and had some pretty good food.

I've had it turned off on my phone for years. And even so occasionally it seems to kick in and I have to manually adjust brightness.

very important and I've been hearing the same

End of March update: business as usual travelling to/from SREcon on on a NEXUS card as a US citizen with Canadian PR. No issues raised by either set of border guards or security screening.

Bias toward only hearing negative/alarming information can really warp your brain so: my travels into and out of the US this past week were buttery smooth with my NEXUS card and the newly renewed passport. "Have a nice day, Zhen" all the way from CATSA to CBP to TSA to CBSA.

ON THE CHANGE NEEDED IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY (Part 1 of 3)

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

same offer, lizthegrey.80 is my signal.

I've recently been both through the NAFTA visa process with a tech job, and through the Express Entry process under the Canadian Experience Class. Happy to share tips/tricks, usual caveat, I am not an immigration lawyer, can't give legal advice.
