@mi_cemi One reason lawmakers should think twice before giving jail workers the same collective bargaining structure as police officers.

"Reporters found that several Michigan cities offer protections for police officers that civilian residents would not receive, ranging from expungement of discipline records after certain time frames to mandatory breaks during investigative interviews." mlive.com/news/2023/07/m…

There is also $800k for a "fantasy contest fund," $3M for "millionaire party regulation"

The things you see when reading budget documents, $71M for "recreational marihuana grants."

Ann Arbor is on the cusp of launching its first non-police public safety response program! I've been working with others to make this a reality, and keeping police out of the program has been a key value of our advocacy. #a2council

@wflower2001 @mi_cemi And some of us are sickened by public officials attacking the independent press

@mi_cemi Some of us know the facts unfortunately not all of us know the facts... twitter.com/ChrisGautz/sta…

"Having to stand in line in freezing rain with COPD and other health problems violates both the ADA and constitutional protections that bar "cruel and unusual punishment," White alleged" freep.com/story/news/loc…

Yes! I've seen @A2schools restrict parent access to the buildings. I now feel less connected to the teachers, school community, and other parents. This is a greater threat to student health and wellbeing than the very low risk of an active shooter. freep.com/story/opinion/…

Today, we begin to collectively heal from the horrific events which transpired, tomorrow we work. My official statement regarding the Michigan State University shooting is below: Fuck your thoughts and prayers.

@annieforypsi So do you correct people when they motion to table something, or do you let that one slide?

I've reached a point in my life where I am now confidently correcting others on Robert's Rules of Order. Send help.

@KernelEnchilada The liberal agenda shows itself again with calls for public investment in education to advance the common good. I see you, Brian, and I know what game you're playing

OK, I'll bite, wtf is an "RFP"? #A2Council P.S. I live in #OttawaCounty

Disgusted by the attacks on Pete Martel. My background is interfaith organizing, so I keep going to how in Judaism, Moses had killed a gov official and fled the country to avoid a death warrant. His second chance worked out pretty well. Why not Pete? mlive.com/news/2023/01/m…

@mi_cemi What burns me up is the MDOC spokesperson's trashing of the report. Rather than using this as a chance to celebrate the progress they made since 2021 bringing phone fees down, they decided to make baseless attacks on the report. Bad look, MDOC, bad look

Jail phone fees in Michigan are outrageous. By putting barriers between incarcerated people and their loved ones they _increase_ the risk of recidivism and _decrease_ public safety. Want safer communities? Decrease or eliminate jail & prison phone fees michiganradio.org/criminal-justi…

This is a big step. Make sure your voice is heard, #A2.

#A2Council if we have a housing crisis, maybe we should consider not forcing nonprofits providing transitional housing to jump through extra hoops like running postcard-noticed neighborhood "feedback" meetings just to put on modest additions to house more people.

@KaiPetainen “There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

@ChuckWarp 42. The answer is 42. #a2council

I feel like my life will be better with 1 less social media app, but if Twitter dies I'll really miss the #a2council chatter. So, if this is my last tweet, so long and thanks for all the fish.

@danielmunro @bdimcheff Looks like you can do 2fa w/ email, but that just cues an export. You are promised an in-app notification when the download is ready. Taking bets?

@bdimcheff ah quite possible

@JoshuaBHoe Well, for me there's the feeling of wanting to stay on the platform but feeling an added does of shame each time I do.

My followers have dropped (but not significantly), engagement has been steady, but feels laggy...For some reason it feels different...but I can't yet put my finger on why

@greenkate @juliablough @no_face @A2schools @learnforjustice But when I signed up to coach Science Olympiad, nobody said, "our rule is not to be in a room alone with a student." By focusing on the false security, the district is missing the opportunities to promote true security.

@greenkate @juliablough @no_face @A2schools @learnforjustice If you go into a house of worship, you'll notice the clergy offices now have windows on the doors (at least of the ones that are paying attention). They've learned to deploy behavioral strategies that reduce the risk of sexual assault.

The @A2schools requirement to show ID to enter the schools will keep out some of the parents who we most need to engage with #a2schools #a2schoolboard #a2council @learnforjustice
