If he looks anything like he did before retiring, this is a monumental, potentially season-altering piece of news. IOL has been an issue in basically every Lions loss.

Another shooting. This time in a Catholic school in Minneapolis.
It shouldn’t be normal to see 5th graders give TV interviews describing seeing their friends shot.
None of this is normal. This is not inevitable. This is a policy choice. Enough.

Always true but especially true today: The only places we’re going to see meaningful progress for the next few years are state and local govts. Every local leader matters.

The fact that JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote to gut Medicaid and SNAP after he talked about how much the community he grew up with benefitted from those programs in his crappy book has, I’m pretty sure, earned him a special place in hell.

An important thing to remember in light of SCOTUS’ ruling on gender affirming care for minors: it does not ban this care. It allows states to enact laws to ban it. Michigan does not have such a law, and gender affirming care should still be available. 🏳️⚧️

Today I took part in a press conference calling for peaceful protest in response to Donald Trump’s use of military force against Americans. This is straight out of a fascist playbook and cannot be normalized. We have no kings in the United States.
.@lauriepohutsky.bsky.social speaking now with local leaders to condemn the Trump administration’s "dangerous and irresponsible deployment of the military on U.S. soil against civilians." This is part of the No Kings protest push. Speakers call on Michiganders to join non violent protests 6/14.
