Even more inspiring than picking up my ballot at one of the 22 satellite vote centers opening throughout Detroit today was seeing the steady stream of voters also picking up, voting, & dropping of their ballots along side of me. Truly a new day for democracy in our state. #vote

I've shared lots of times my mental hack for avoiding road rage, which is saying "be careful, friend," when someone acts like menace.
After testing so many versions of this for internet commenters, I've finally settled on "I hope they feel better now."
