This evening an hour from my house, the Regime is holding a rally to celebrate 100 days in office. In opposition, I’m donating $100 to the Michigan ACLU. I challenge you to do the same. For each day this monster has been in office, give support to an organization that is protecting freedom. #ACLU

We were among around 5000 people at a “Hands Off” rally today in Lansing MI. Great to see such a great turnout—but, where do we go from here? We need leadership & direction.

On this International Women's Day, the ongoing studies that look at women and Alzheimers risk. I'm on HRT and have been on it for 18 years. I tried to go off it and felt awful. But--am I increasing my risk of Alzheimers or lessening it? #internationalwomensday #alzheimersandwomen #womenshealth

Something to give you a little hope after a week of disgust, anger, & shame: my little nephew and his friends at a rally for equality in healthcare at their local children’s hospital. Go kids! #transhealth #lgbthealth #kidshealth #resistance

Deep into WWII this week. Reading “Road to Surrender,” remembering Glenn Miller’s (right) birthday today, and my dad (left) a Navy man. Miller was brilliant, lost his life fighting for freedom. Dad survived. What would they make of Ukraine and a U.S. president’s attack on democracy?

Happy 187th birthday, Michigan! You look great. Honestly, you don’t look a day over 125.
How Michigan maybe, kind of, sort of, illegitimately became a state
Happy 187th birthday, Michigan! You look great. Honestly, you don’t look a day over 125. What’s your secret? Pilates? Whatever it is, keep it up. It’s working.

I’m running to be the next Governor of Michigan to ensure everyone gets a fair shot.
I'm a mom, military spouse, marathoner, educator — and Michigan’s Secretary of State.

Inauguration Day 1/20/17 Noon. Trump is being sworn in and I’m waiting for a mammogram, wearing mask (immune deficiency) and pussy hat. See my thyroidectomy scar and determination in my eyes. 8 years later—I’m still here with more scars and determination. We’ll need that the next 4 years and beyond.
