Remarkable story: A GOP candidate for Michigan governor struck “democratic” from the phrase “core democratic values” in proposed social studies standards, claiming it was partisan. bridgemi.com/talent-educati…
.@pjcolbeck also sought to delete references to “the common good,” “diversity” and “justice.” bridgemi.com/talent-educati…
Other items that got cut from proposed social studies standards:

References to gay rights, climate change, Roe v. Wade. And role of @NAACP in civil rights movement is downplayed. bridgemi.com/talent-educati…
.@pjcolbeck responds to @BridgeMichigan story about his influence on proposed social studies standards.
Since y'all scrolled this far down the thread: Can I interest you in this other excellent recent @BridgeMichigan story? Michigan Supreme Court justices — financially backed by opponents of an anti-gerrymandering proposal — may decide its fate. bridgemi.com/public-sector/…

#Michigan prop 2 sounds good on the surface... There are concerns as we dive in.
The stickler for me, these 12 unelected officials, with self identified political affiliations, "independents" in majority... Cant be removed 👇
bridgemi.com/public-sector/…
In my experience, a moderate is a liberal that likes to hunt and an independent is a liberal that is lying to themselves.

I'm concerned with the vagueness of the make up of this group... And it's effective permanence, with zero accountability to voters or politicians alike.
Seeing how we have a 3 term limit (6 years) in the Michigan house and 2 terms in the Michigan senate (8 years)

Perhaps not up ending what is not really a problem is the wiser approach. Yes.

I'm a no on Michigan's #Prop2

A MI state senator wants removal of the words "DEMOCRACY" & "DEMOCRATIC" from K-12 social studies curriculum. He's #Cult45 R-Patrick Colbeck @pjcolbeck & his effort here has helped me clarify something.

The MI censorship & a comment by David Frum, of all ppl, prompted my desire 2 write this.His comment below from a Vox article put something together 4 me. But it's not like I didn't know a lot of this already. So why's this different? I'm not totally sure. preview.tinyurl.com/yakt7r5h2/
Shock? I thot our press was better than they've turned out 2b. I also think it's lack of any formal system 2 hold pundits, media & journalists accountable 4 still practicing "High Broderism" or "The Center is Me-Brooksism" It's not the treason they don't see, tho they don't. 3/

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

National politics correspondent for Newsweek, Nina Burleigh, with a fun find on a TV above the bar at the Trump Hotel DC bit.ly/2E37QRR
Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

@SpeakerRyan to "retire" by the end of THIS term‼️

POLITICO interviewed 3 dozen people who know Ryan (lawmakers, aides, conservative "intellectuals" & #GOP lobbyists)👉🏼not a single person believed Ryan will stay in Congress past 2018.🤨 1/

politico.com/magazine/story…
The timing of Ryan's "retirement" is VERY curious.🤔

On Oct 29, @RepSwalwell re-posted the WaPo story about #GOP leadership admitting that Trump & Rohrabacher are on #Putin’s🇷🇺payroll, and Ryan made GOP swear omertà‼️ 2/

On May 18, I *predicted* that MULTIPLE #GOP members would be leaving Congress unexpectedly.🤓 3/
