Wrong, UAW. Unions also tried to suck up to fascists in 1930s Germany. Didn't work out any better for the German worker then than it will for the American worker now. Tariffs are the nuclear option for a reason - they're economic MAD. "Obeying in Advance" is NOT the way. uaw.org/tariffs-mark...

WATCH: The moment the cruel Rep. William Lamberth & Senator Bo Watson bill to block undocumented kids from school passed full House Ed committee last night You can see 10 year-old Emma kneel in front of them in protest. They quickly cut the feed as folks started to chant and yell out.

UM is being pressured by at least 2 Regents to eliminate "DEI" and fire professors and staff "who work in DEI-related issues." As one professor who is standing against this notes, "Technically, we're all doing DEI work." Same tactics were used in the 1950s. www.metrotimes.com/news/a-new-r...

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option. Pete Hegseth should resign. Mike Waltz should resign.

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

Let’s make courage more contagious than capitulation. Pass it on.

Michigan now gets its first Trumpzi concentration camp (or re-opens it, to be more precise). In Lake County, who's going to show up to protest this? The f***ing Florida company that owns it needs to be shut right the f*** down. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Threatening to impeach judges who check your power is proof you need judges checking your power.

SCOOP: The USPS Union President has sent out an email to employees warning them of impending privatization concerns after Elon Musk moves to fire 10,000 postal workers. Read the full email here: shero.substack.com/p/privatizat...

Several Teslas were set on fire at a Tesla service center in Las Vegas today. Oh also, Tesla insurance rates are set to spike as the cars increasingly become vandalism targets.

History repeats itself

The #ElectoralCollege is #DEI for #RedStates

He was always ahead of his time.

Chat, I fear we might be his seventh bankruptcy. 💀

It's not that the kid is wrong, it's that he's wrong with utter and serene confidence. When people ask me why I wrote The Death of Expertise, it wasn't ignorance that compelled me to write, it was this kind of unbreakable, completely self-assured ignorance that did it.

In Michigan, the GOP attack upon our state continues: thelivingstonpost.com/guest-column...

Today is National Abortion Provider Appreciation Day, and we're joining @abortioncare.bsky.social to celebrate the heroes—providers, counselors, admin staff, & everyone—who help make abortion care possible. Thank you for all that you do and for constantly showing up for our communities.

The President of the United States is vowing to disappear students from college campuses who say things the government doesn't like. There are not enough alarms for this.

This is illegal, and it endangers the rights of all Americans. In this country, people must be free to express their views — left or right, popular or unpopular — without being detained or punished by the government.

Bwahahaha - oh, er, I mean, "Setting property on fire is never right." [Snicker.]

Can we reform our electoral system to empower every Michigander in our representative democracy? Join us for a discussion about proportional representation: what is it, how it impacted outcomes in other places, and what it could look like in Michigan? March 18 @ 6pm www.mobilize.us/vnp/event/75...

I heart Tina Smith.

Nothing says ‘commitment to education’ like Michigan House Republicans and Karen Whitsett gutting $5.1B from public schools — giving legislators less than 30 minutes to read the bill before passing it. Bonus: they did it in front of visiting schoolkids.

House Republican’s Budget today cuts $5 Billion in School funding. It also cut 92% of the General Budget. We were given 20 minutes to read. Easy No vote. Unserious, hypocritical, and dangerous.

Just a quick reminder, if Russia ceased firing there would be a cease fire

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Every accusation is an intention.

Since everyone's kind of in love with Volodymyr Zelenskyy right now, here is a link to the English-language version of the official website of the Office of the President of Ukraine (you're welcome): www.president.gov.ua/en
