This is what a crumbling democracy looks like. I hope this newspaper sues this police department and the judge who signed this warrant gets disbarred.

Great to see the unity amongst my fellow electeds - especially those that represent Hamtramck - in supporting Hamtramck's #LGBTQ community.

Fox and Dominion Voting Systems reached a settlement Tuesday in the voting machine company’s defamation lawsuit, averting a trial in a case that exposed how the top-rated network chased viewers by promoting lies about the 2020 presidential election. https://t.co/fjJnZXraAQ

The Michigan Senate is a place where “Talk Like a Pirate Day” is a-ok but a resolution acknowledging Pride Month walks the plank. Arrrrrrr.

I will not be gaslighted.

The resolution did not fail because I refused to amend it. It is the same draft that passed last year.

It failed because Republicans wanted a new unacceptable line in it: “not every citizen in Michigan agrees with the lifestyle of the LGBTQ community.”

[Jeremy Moss @JeremyAllenMoss]

MI Senate Republicans rejected my resolution to declare June 2022 as #LGBTQ #PrideMonth — despite adopting the same exact resolution last year. Not even a period or comma changed.

The cruelty is the point.

They have nothing to offer but to tear down marginalized communities.
