The Romulus warehouse ICE wants to turn into a detention facility is in the middle of a floodplain. Where the hell is Anne Bannister when you need her, #A2Council?

The agent is completely beside himself, "That was awful," he said, "What on earth do you call that monstrosity?"

The man says calmly, "The aristocrats."

A man walks into a talent agency and says, "Boy have I got an act for you!".

The agent is interested so he says, "Go ahead and show me what you have."

The man proceeds to recite Trump's 2026 State of the Union address verbatim. Syllable for syllable. Pitch perfect.

Albert H. Wheeler was Ann Arbor’s first African American mayor and the first elected with Ranked Choice Voting.
A civil rights leader and professor at the University of Michigan, his legacy still shapes our community.
This Black History Month, we honor his impact and keep building a better Michigan.

I don't know how many of you Michiganders are following the drama in the Republican Party in Congressional District 1, which covers Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, but here is a very brief summary:

It's going to be crazy when the people who learned over the last year that Trump was actually the bad guy in the Epstein files also figure out why the GOP is so obsessed with cutting taxes for the super wealthy.

Ranked Choice Voting is getting a lot of attention but what is it?

It’s a simple ballot upgrade that gives voters more options and the freedom to vote their hopes instead of their fears.

Michigan deserves more voice and more choice. Join us.

I had two interactions, both in NYC, with Reverend Jesse Jackson. Once in 2004 and again in 2011. I told those stories on a different platform with a much higher character limit, which you can read at this link:

May he rest in power.

That's interesting, because that's before Ronald Reagan straight up granted amnesty to every undocumented immigrant in the country.

That means, the myth of anyone letting undocumented immigrants into the US as a means of supercharging the vote for either party has already been fully debunked.

I have a legitimate complaint about the super bowl halftime show finally

I think you should have to pick a kingdom. Plant or animal. If you can vote, you shouldn't be able to photosynthesize. It's just not fair.

The "repeat" portion is easy to overlook, but you know it's core to their strategy. If any of their fake scandals fails to take off, they just wait a few months and try to push the same failed fake scandal again.

It's fake gotcha clickbait.

The Love of Choice
Know what's really sweet? Having more voice and more choice! Feeling like we have to settle is never fun. It's not realistic to expect to have only one choice on a dating app, and you wouldn't want… The Love of Choice

What’s really sweet? More voice and more choice.

We don’t settle for one dating option or one pizza topping. Michigan voters shouldn’t have to settle either.

Vote your hopes, not your fears.

Happy Valentine’s Day from Rank MI Vote πŸ’™

Recently the β€œMake Elections Great Again” bill was proposed in the House. Despite the name, it attacks voters, local elections, and Ranked Choice Voting by stripping authority from local election officials through sweeping federal overreach.

If you're a Michigan Republican that agreed with Donald Trump's Gordie Howe Bridge position, someone who loves you needs to have a conversation with you that ends in you putting your car keys on the table.

I'm talking about the things they were clearly aiming for just outside the story. Carcetti and the presidency. Templeton and the Washington Post. Jesus Christ, the unions. Any federal law enforcement agency gig.

Even corrupting drug lords by connecting them to a pedophile president.

Trump has decimated every institution showcased in The Wire. They still exist, they are just now the worst form of themselves.

Every sacred icon or position chased by every character has been corrupted.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by nameβ€”citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
