The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

The past two Tigers signing scorecards from Latin America, including Wednesday's formal announcements, hint that a long-fumbling MLB club has turned around its domestic, and international, safaris. What's changed? Detroit News story. shorturl.at/rZMnv

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech?
We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!

Should we continue to encourage kids to go to college ? Or push them to take up a trade ?
I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser
Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.

Charlie Maxwell -- when Hula Hoops and sock-hops were in vogue, baseball's blessings were embodied by a Sunday home-run specialist from Paw Paw, Michigan. Detroit News farewell. shorturl.at/oWG1q
Maxwell was the living embodiment of idyllic Tigers Sundays in the 1950s
If searching for one Tigers name that conveyed a radio blaring Tigers games to the tune of Van Patrick’s booming voice, it might well be Charlie Maxwell.

@gregolear.bsky.social is 100% right when he predicts if GOP repeals ACA and replaces it with anything less than universal healthcare there will be hell to pay. Vigilantes will be coming for them from both sides of the political spectrum. #EnoughIsEnough

Another environmental catastrophe caused by Russians east of Crimea, after one of their decaying oil tankers broke apart on high seas 2 days ago, 35km of pristine coastline has been contaminated in true Russian style.
And these tankers are now all over the world.

Pete Buttigieg needs to back away from Michigan gubernatorial thoughts. Now. Jocelyn Benson has that handled, effectively. Buttigieg must get going -- now -- on 2028. Never in history will a man of his intellect and reason be more in need for the world than four years from now.
