This isn't fear mongering, it's reality. We have a responsibility to our kids and parents to empower them to make the best decisions for them, their families and their communities.

I knew there had to be some unholy alliances being made at the top levels of both parties and DTE to explain how the wheels have been greased toward this data center debacle. Apparently the only people who want them are union members deluded by the jobs promises and politicians on the take from DTE.

It's too bad most of us can't afford the $120/yr to read the story. I'm so thankful you're digging into this because I know it goes to the very top. Too many shady ties in the executive office to the legislature to the MPSC. It's criminal and Michiganders are being asked to suck it up. We will NOT!

So what are you doing? It's 12/5 and ACA open enrollment ends on 12/15. Is there a deal. Is there not? If we go off market then credits are extended are we screwed? Can we get a special enrollment period to go back to the marketplace.
This was expected when Dems gave up their only leverage. 🤬

Love 💙 my State Rep @reggiemillermi.bsky.social! She actually cares about us and will stand up not just for those in need, but those having problems, those being unfairly treated, & by those who believe our communities don't deserve to be desecrated by DTE & data centers. We appreciate you, Reggie!

No one should go to bed hungry. Rep. @reggiemillermi.bsky.social has been out and about in her community, delivering food to families so they have one less thing to worry about this holiday season.

Panel Votes to End Recommendation for Hepatitis B Shots for All Newborns

The CDC is supposed to PROTECT US from disease. Under RFK Jr. it’s become a tool to push brainworm conspiracy theories.

I’ll be the first former public health official in the US Senate. And when I’m elected I’ll make sure our health policy is based on science.

Our democracy is not for sale.

We're building a movement to get money out of politics, put money in your pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

The economic environment Trump is creating for non-billionaires is startubg to pull people together in opposition. I see it all over the state. In SE Michigan where we're battling data centers, neighbors have stopped asking "who'd you vote for" and have started asking "how can we help?"
Powerful!

I sincerely don't care who you voted for in the last election or the one before that. I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican.

I care that your life is comfortable, not defined by stress & precarity. Clawing for mere survival isn't normal & it shouldn't be an acceptable norm.

Demand more.

Mike Duggan’s Refusal to Condemn Political Violence is Unacceptable

Mike Duggan could've condemned Donald Trump's execution threats against Sen. Slotkin, but he refused to do so.

"That’s not the kind of leadership we need from someone who wants to govern our state."

Supreme Court to decide if Trump can limit the constitutional right to citizenship at birth The Trump administration is seeking to roll back the historical understanding that birthright citizenship extends to almost anyone born in the United States.

From day one of Trump’s presidency, this administration has used the excuse of the Southern border to try to end immigration entirely. This attack on birthright citizenship is brazen and lawless.

Michigan GOP lawmakers' attendance at conservative ALEC conference in Texas draws criticism • Michigan Advance A number of Republican members of Michigan's state House are in attendance at the American Legislative Exchange Council States and Nation Policy Summit in Fort Worth, Texas this week. Only one day of session was scheduled for the House this week, on Tue...

To no one's surprise, House Republicans would rather pat themselves on the back than get to work for you.

Ice is shooting at US Citizens & if it can happen to them, it can happen to you!

So call Congress. It takes 2 minutes & it does make a difference.

They are even abducting indigenous people! US Citizens...natives to this land for thousands of years.

If this mother & tribal leadership hadn't gotten involved, who knows what would have happened to this young lady.

YouTube video by Washington Post ‘I’m a U.S. citizen!’: Federal agents in Florida pull woman from her car

What scares me is what's happening to women & children.

The lack of vetting & culture of violence & #ICELawlessness
MAKES ICE RIPE FOR PREDATORS!

The disdain & disrespect for citizens is horrifying!

Expose folks who don't know about the #ICELawlessness to the inhumane treatment & cruelty. Share this link with family.

People are being detained & treated worse than animals.

Husbands, wives, mothers, father's, & even little children are being detained, brutalized & even tortured...by our government!

Call Congress at 202-224-3121 & demand oversight...demand they stop #ICELawlessness!

Make sure everyone you know hears about #ICELawlessness & knows the story of US CITIZEN & IRAQ WAR VETERAN, George Retes.

"ICE officers used tear gas, broke his car window, and applied physical force, including kneeling on him, while he complied with their instructions."

Is this freedom?

Christine Le Jeune was testifying against an Open AI/Oracle data center campus coming to her city of Port Washington. The officers claimed this was disorderly conduct - but I just see a woman exercising her rights as an American. Officer’s dragged her out.

I stand up with Ms. LeJeune. Literally. I was out in 20 deg weather last week protesting at least 4-5 data centers plotting secretly to build within a 10 mile radius of my house. People across parties are enraged ... and officers arresting any of us would eventually regret it.
