Trump In Oct 2024: Kamala Harris is lying. I have nothing to do with Project 2025.

Trump In Oct 2025: I’m meeting today with Russ Vought to implement Project 2025.

We need to stop the behind-the-scenes gaslighting and have a full-frontal showdown with this dude.

Somewhere between campaigning, council meetings, and neighborhood rat patrols, I guess this was inevitable.

I’ll admit β€” trading cards might be a way more fun campaign giveaway than yard signs. πŸ˜‰

Kulick - Google Drive

And for anyone who’s curious- or maybe just a fellow insomniac -you can dive into some of the research and documents I’ve compiled here, it includes pictures and video from my recent walk through of the building: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

If a land swap does move forward, we’ll have more tough conversations ahead- about bare-bones reopening needs, and about long-term issues like the leaking roof above the mechanical room (more on that later), and about how we get creative with funding through partnerships and grants.

That’s why I never stopped believing the best path was one that allowed us to invest slowly, in incremental improvements and maintenance, preserving a legacy asset while making practical progress.

I held off a day because I'm honestly overwhelmed by this.
My biggest regret from my time on council is how this was handled, and seeing the building sit idle and deteriorate has been a constant reminder. Kulick is more than a building; it holds history, memory, and community sentiment.

way easier. Best method is dry ice burrow busting, which eliminates the majority of them in a day. Traps are also cheap, but people are squeamish.

It's been quite some time since we did a #Ferndale rat patrol presentation. I'll be presenting at the Ferndale library Tuesday 9/9 from 6-7:30PM on how to prevent and eliminate rats around your property, and I'd love to see you there! Free rat traps in limited quantities to attendees

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

I kinda can't believe I'm doing this again. One more round of council if I get my 100+ signatures before Monday.

American newspaper clips from 1940, β€œSuperman Poisoning American Children, Irate Nazis Claim. Plus, my Vanity Fair story: Can Superman Win the Culture War?

The right-wing backlash against #Superman has happened before.

Here’s my @vanityfair.com report w/ the full history β€”starting with April 1940, when the official SS newspaper attacked the comic book hero & its creators.

Plus, that time Superman fought the KKK…

I had a moment yesterday where I was losing it because I used a sketchy tape measure on my waist and it was bigger than I was expecting at 127lbs; then I looked up averages for people in the US. 38", 170lbs for ladies. 40", 200lbs for dudes. Everything is contextual, you're doing great.

As I was once told: we're public servants, not public doormats.

You can disagree with decisions. You can demand accountability. But when criticism crosses into cruelty or harassment, we all lose something β€” civility, dignity, and the kind of leadership that comes from compassion.

Being in public service shouldn't mean being the public's punching bag.

This photo was meant to celebrate a small, joyful moment. But the comments β€” pulled directly from Warren Mayor Lori M. Stone's page β€” are a reminder of how quickly public officials are dehumanized online. #politics

That exodus would leave a major financial hole for the County and put 38 union jobs in assessing at risk of elimination.
Meanwhile, the extra revenue generated by the increaseβ€”over $10 million over three yearsβ€”has not been tied to any specific program or service.
