We're in a tough spot when elected bodies become the equivalent of a high school clique: more interested in maintaining hierarchy & conformity than in doing the actual work of public service & representation. #bestgovernmentmoneycanbuy

@michaelharriot This is incredible! I've visited both the Carter Center and Plains, I had no idea about Archery. Thanks so much for sharing this history- it's remarkable and shocking that it's buried

WHo served active duty in ANY BRANCH of the desegregated military. He was served with the Black woman in the Navy Anyway, there's more but I gotta go

Whitewashing the uncomfortable parts of the past doesn't just affect Black stories. For example, you can't fully appreciate how a peanut farmer from Plains, GA became a beloved president unless you know TRUE Black History. The unwhitewashed history of Jimmy Carter: A thread.

@ProPeacePunk @EclecticRadical @KiraBrook Where did you serve? (I have similar stories from Ann Arbor)

@EclecticRadical @KiraBrook This happened to me on city council advocating for a "public ISP." The mayor ignored all reason, gave $2.5M taxpayer giveaway to a private corp to run everything privately. Mayor's reason, "he wanted poors to have same internet as him" ignoring me on SSDI saying its unaffordable

@italiangirl9329 @GayBearRes Convincing people that a centralized/socialized system would create terrible "bureaucracy" was the BIG LIE. I had two pregnancies: one using NHS in UK & one using good private insurance in the US. Twenty years ago, the NHS was light years superior to US private insurance

@GayBearRes People who don’t have a medical degree should not have any say in whether medications get approved for people or what the costs should be

@PippengerHarlo To an ersatz movement whose only goal is to drive total capitulation to the development industry, anyone who says “we need to do better than this” is a nimby The same people would’ve been bulldozing neighbourhoods for freeways in the 60s

@MWPolitics101 I wonder: are you maybe mixing him up with Scott Baio? Winkler and Baio were both famously on Happy Days, but I don't know about anyone else from that show who is a raging republican. Baio might be the outlier.

@la_Luchona_ He's been attacking me for even retweeting GEO (and then attacking Prop C & Prop D by association). I could not figure out what his deal was. This explanation is helpful.

@MWPolitics101 I like all the empty land voting red... exciting to see that support among the non-people constituencies of prairie and desert...!

Swimming upstream against a strong current of misinformation, check out the facts about opposition to Prop C & Prop D in Ann Arbor: a2elnel.com/post/oppositio…

@MWPolitics101 In college, I had a friend who was obsessed with Genesis, which was when I learned that Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins were in that band together. IMO, Collins is pretty cheezy compared to Gabriel (who is great)

@MWPolitics101 Fair enough. And your opinion on Peter Gabriel?

@MWPolitics101 Are Muslim voters shifting to republican? I had not heard that--

@MWPolitics101 @MichiganVoter69 Good answer

@MWPolitics101 @MichiganVoter69 Good but overplayed? Honestly, how can anyone not like Queen? What do you think of ABBA???

@Coleen4SD Good luck. You've already got replies changing the subject to upzoning, which is typical. In Ann Arbor, housing supply only matters when investors can make $$. Our investor-backed gov't gutted Airbnb regulation & then rezoned to allow a campaign donor to build MORE! It's nuts.

Great location for housing in central #SouthPark but instead this duplex being used as a hotel for the past nine years. Owner owns 3 properties in San Diego.

@MWPolitics101 Have you ever HEARD Billy Joel?

@MWPolitics101 Trump is at least fifteen years behind in his insults. Like everything else, he's just completely backwards
