Every day, LGBTQ+ Michiganders make a difference in their communities. They guide us towards a future where everyone can thrive. I’m grateful I could kick off Pride Month with LGBTQ+ leaders who inspire me to keep building a better, more inclusive Michigan.

Feels like a good time to re-up this thread.

Ever since Bergman hired @strategic to get him elected in the first place, all Louisiana Jack knows is quid pro quo. An endorsement in exchange for his COS lining his coffers seems to be the going rate.

[Jordyn Hermani (🔈: "HerMinE”) @JordynHermani]

A handful of Michigan's Upper Peninsula Republicans (incl. MI Sen. Ed McBroom) say they're pulling their endorsements of U.S. Rep Jack Bergman after Bergman endorsed fmr MI Rep. Beau LaFave for the state Senate - specifically McBroom's seat - despite telling McBroom he wouldn't

[Luke Londo @llondo]

can’t wait for Bergman to retire back to Louisiana and Beau to make like his firearms and get lost.

Thank you, Michigan. For everything.

[Luke Londo @llondo]

this one hurts.

he was the first active male player in major sports to come out, doing so two years before Obergefell when barely a majority supported SSM. his faith was a punchline, but he was always gracious. he wore “98” as a tribute to Matthew Shepard.

rest in power.

[Luke Londo @llondo]

always know when a Michigan reporter’s working on a story about entheogenics because, invariably, my phone rings.

anyway catch me in the news where I’m on the record talking about my love of psilocybin and how it’s great for my mental health!

While this piece highlights Ferndale, @cityofhazelpark was one of three suburbs to experience growth by following the same playbook our neighbors did - attracting young families, bringing in new business, building a vibrant downtown corridor, and focusing on inclusive policies.

here are my full remarks from discussion, articulating that the federal SAVE Act, Michigan HB4765, and the proposed voter suppression constitutional amendment in Michigan “are the product of unabashed racism or malignant idiocy,” in case you wonder how I really feel:

[Luke Londo @llondo]

proud to have helped draft this resolution alongside staff excoriating pernicious efforts to undermine faith in our elections and make it more difficult for people - especially our vulnerable and more diverse populations - to exercise the franchise.

[Luke Londo @llondo]

i know this is a parody account but imagine the MIGOP saying that officials on the ballot for school boards, library boards, statewide ed boards, utility boards, etc. aren’t elected officials because they’re not encapsulated under a branch of government lololol

[Chris Long - Mr. Reality @chrislong_mi]

For the umpteenth time delegates are not elected officials. Far too many people think they are. So please explain to the class, which of the 3 branches of government do delegates fall into!
END OF DISCUSSION!

[Luke Londo @llondo]

hard to see how this would have played out any differently given the opinion from the 6th came from a three judge panel of Republican appointees - two of whom were appointed by Trump.

Submitted my capstone paper to @NorthernMichU fulfilling my final requirement for my Master’s in Public Administration, drinking champagne, and celebrating with @LainaStebbinsMI once she’s done working so today is a great day.

[Luke Londo @llondo]

on days like today I often think about this piece from the Spin Class Substack about the proliferation of pink slime journalism - particularly in Michigan.

great read on how a vibes-based approach versus a science-based approach by a county medical director is, among other things, tanking vaccine rates against potentially deadly diseases and depriving schoolchildren of critical access to care.

[Eli Newman @other_eli]

A Michigan county medical director has called the state health department "full of degenerates" with an "evil" agenda — and local officials keep agreeing with him. My story for @BridgeMichigan on how St. Clair County's public health is being taken over: https://t.co/NNfbaWDxYc
