In 1975, Ann Arbor was the 1st city in the US to use Ranked Choice Voting to elect a mayor. Dr. Wheeler was the 1st Black tenured professor at the University of Michigan and only Black #A2Council mayor to date.

DOGE and the Social Security Administrator are quietly CLOSING SS offices making it much harder for people to maintain their benefits.

Please help spread the word.

"Have You No Decency?": Republican Calls Sarah McBride "Mister," Dems Erupt And End Hearing During a meeting of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a Republican representative, Rep. Keith Self, called transgender congresswoman the "gentleman from Delaware." Dems pushed back.

So proud of ranking member Democratic Rep. Bill Keating for standing up to the bully in the chamber.

Trump would HATE it if this goes viral:

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention!

This โ€œThird Term Projectโ€ poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about โ€œthe deep stateโ€ are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Another problem is the whole "when they go low, we go high" bullshit. If we lived in a educated country, taking the proverbial high road might work. We aren't. We are the cultural equivalent of an episode of The Jerry Springer Show. A fact isn't a fact unless there is a nasty meme with it.
