I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race.

I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:

Any politician voting for this bill should lose their MOTHERFUCKING job.

They work for the American people, not the fucking OLIGARCHY.

"What can I do?"

It's the question we're all asking. Attacks come from every quarter. Leadership is scarce.

Andrew Weissmann has ideas for "citizen engagement": resources; state & local activism; ways to support those suing the administration*.

Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.

Well folks the day has finally arrived and while we all tried to warn them he was a wolf, the sheep refused to listen. I now accept that I am part of the #Opposition and I will be fierce. I have no fucks left to give for anyone that voted for this chaos, you’re on your own. Good luck!!

We now have two major, wind-driven SoCal fires: #PalisadesFire (burning all day in/near Pacific Palisades) and now #CloseFire (in/near Eaton Canyon near Altadena/Pasadena). Newer Close Fire is also in a very bad spot w/increasingly extreme winds. #CAwx #CAfire
