Some of the best DEI hires ever!
Don’t tell me that white guys would do it better.

SNAP is the primary way we subsidize agriculture nowadays. By allowing recipients to purchase food made from corn syrup, all we’re subsidizing is gigantic agribusinesses with the worst environmental practices.

I have finally found my tartan!
I’ve never been particularly interested in family crests or tartans or whatever symbolism men pass down to each other to remind themselves that men are in power.
But a tartan that reminds us how women were oppressed? Perfect.

Yum! I didn’t realize there are other Native American restaurants. I only knew about the Sioux Chef’s place in Minnesota.
We have such incredible produce especially. If you just cook what is ripe here and don’t put a ton of butter on it, it’s very tasty and healthy.

Well, now I know why “American” food is so boring and flavorless. But it still doesn’t explain why our food so rarely contains food native to the area. (Except that tomato on hamburgers)
Which leads me to a fervently held belief- the only truly American food with native ingredients is Mexican.

Trump is broke. He always has been. His wealth comes from borrowing.
I suspect the president owes Musk a lot of money, like the cost of the E. Jean Carrol verdict.

Thanks for the actual LOL!
I’d almost forgotten how to that with this presidential administration.

The novel Mara and Dann by Doris Lessing considers this. It’s not so far ahead in the future that we don’t know what chickens are but it certainly makes me wonder what future archeologists will think of us.
At least I won’t be embarrassed by the amount of chicken bones I leave behind.

And who says journalists only report the news and don’t make it. Thanks for asking questions and keeping them (vaguely) accountable.

Please! We wouldn’t need to fix the damn roads so much if we weren’t allowing so many heavy loads on those roads.

We keep pretending everything else is normal. The makeup seems hardly worth mentioning, since it doesn’t put people’s lives or the entirety of our democracy at risk.
But, yeah. It’s weird.

Thanks for being part of the weird!
I certainly wouldn’t have chosen chants, but it was fun to hear blasting from every window for a brief, specific time.

Thank you!
The people of Hillsdale are a menace. I live nearby and every time we go there, it seems someone approaches us and tries to recruit us to overthrow the government.

Yes, Kafka never wanted his work read by anyone.
Whatever. Thanks, Max Brod.
I’m almost as grateful for the betrayal of Kafka’s final wishes as I am for the writing.

This is why I stopped listening to the news on Nov 6. I still want to break things but not as much.
And this weekend, instead, I’m going to make things.

I’m really glad my state usually has a large budget surplus. And, we know that Trump likes cutting off “that woman from Michigan” like he did with PPE in 2020.
I’m so sorry, California. I think maybe it’s already time to consideration secession.

Giving huge tax abatements to Gilbert and his cronies, dispossessing Detroiters of their homes and not even pretending to fix the disaster that is DTE?
Nah. I don’t think Duggan has been great for Detroit. He just made it look better.

I have really admired and appreciated Benson’s leadership. Admittedly I don’t like some of the changes to the Secretary of State office (what Michiganders call the DMV) but she an able leader.
However, I’m withholding my choice until Buttigieg makes a decision.

That’s so sad about Albert. Peacocks are impressively loyal and friendly.
And I don’t know that there is an editing option. I haven’t found it yet.

John Adams, one of the best early presidents, did not attend the inauguration of Thomas Jefferson.
There is precedent and I believe it’s deeply patriotic to avoid the inauguration of someone who has no respect for the Constitution and the laws of our nation.

These look like they could have the earthy, umami flavor of black tomatoes. If so, I NEED these.
I’m always looking for tomatoes that taste “black” but don’t look like it.

I’ve always liked Justice Cavanagh and even more so now. I’m always happy when my tax dollars help people my state has harmed.

So, who are the 2 Justices? I assume you’re including the retired McCormack but I want to vote and campaign for the other.
(And if you’re trying not to identify the 2nd, my guess is the Justice who hired a clerk who had been incarcerated)

I think one of the most wrongfully and dangerously decided SCOTUS cases is still Brandenburg v. Ohio.
Perhaps the most liberal court in American history said Nazis had free speech because the were unlikely to cause “imminent” violence.
And here our nation is trapped in the paradox of tolerance

I know republicans have rigged the system to disenfranchise many Black and Brown voters.
But I trust Michigan’s governor, SoS, AG and junior senator.
My heart breaks for America but if Big Gretch and the illustrious Dana Nessel won’t stop it, it’s really, really true.

I did no ad hominem attack.
I to focus on ideas and do think some ideas are very dangerous in dangerous times.
Claims of voter fraud without evidence seems dangerous to me.
I am still so devastated by what happened that I have changed many aspects of my daily life to protect my mental health

I do not wish to cause any more division or debate about alternate election timelines, on any side of the aisle or color divide.
Especially in a place where I come to not read histrionic election denialism

Every progressive leaning president in American history who won election in a way that could be considered fraudulent by some lost re-election.
Dunning Kruger is indeed a more conservative tendency and it cost Biden /Harris

Please don’t. Don’t make it worse.
The election was as fair as possible. Harris lost. Musk bought America.
I don’t want to win the White House by screaming “fraud”
Maga would never listen anyway and people would die.
