“You cannot claim to oppose fascism while prosecuting those who resist it globally. You cannot posture as a defender of democracy while silencing the young, the marginalized, and the courageous who embody its truest form—people power…In relentless solidarity with Gaza and all peoples fighting annihilation.”

Condemning Dana Nessel’s Hypocrisy

"Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel, a self-styled progressive who has attempted to build a reputation opposing Donald Trump’s authoritarianism, now exposes her own hypocrisy by weaponizing the legal system to suppress pro-Palestine protesters.

...

Where was this zeal for “accountability” when white supremacists plotted to kidnap Michigan’s governor? Where is her outrage over “israel’s” US-funded genocide in Gaza, which has slaughtered over 40,000 Palestinians? Her selective application of justice exposes a dangerous truth: For Nessel, opposing Trump is a political brand, not a commitment to dismantling oppression."

From @ezralevin:

ALERT: I've heard from a high up source that Slotkin is against the GOP funding bill, but Gary Peters may vote for it. If you're in Michigan, please call both. Tell Slotkin thank you, and urge Peters to vote against cloture (not just against the bill). #michigan

Peters: 202-224-6221
Slotkin: 202-224-4822

“ #Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II is running for governor, setting up Dem primary clash that incl 2 prominent statewide officeholders…

Gilchrist is the latest prominent politician to dive into the race to succeed Dem Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who is term-limited, months after Michigan narrowly voted for both Trump & Dem senator Slotkin”

Planning a get together in Holland this weekend, hope to see you there!

Total lunar eclipse is happening later this week, visible from almost all of North America and parts of South America.

Partial eclipse will be visible from other parts of the world.

And the moon will turn dark red. For folks in eastern North America interested in seeing it, you'll need to stay up late.

Or wake up early.
