The people who wrote the 1945 Emergency Management Law were the same people who survived the 1918 flu pandemic. @FredWszolek needs a history lesson.

Something else the people who wrote the 1945 law knew about: self-sacrifice for the greater good. ImageImage
Howard Nugent, the Republican Speaker of the House in Michigan in 1945 was in his late thirties when the 1918 pandemic hit.

Seriously, Fred. Did you think no one was going to call you out on this, or did you just not know? Image
You would think a Michigander who works in politics would know to.... Ope

JC Huizenga, founder of the National Heritage Academy charter school franchise, was just at a GRPS meeting about a scholarship asking and learning about the term BIPOC for the first time. He then asks if that discriminates against "Jews who aren't wealthy."
JC is also a trustee on the Gerald R Ford Foundation board. His schools operate in places like Kentwood and Ypsilanti, areas in Michigan with a higher percentage of black students than most places in the state, and as you can see, they love showcasing diversity on their webpage. ImageImage
The mayor of Grand Rapids, @mayorbliss attended the meeting, and remained silent through this. I'm very interested in hearing if she views this as unacceptable anti-Semitism and social ignorance from someone in his position.

Should I...
This is regressing towards a perfect map of my inner preferences. Very unhelpful, actually.

An update on the effort to push back against the Republican voter suppression attempts in Michigan.

Thread:

1/9
NBC News just made a Facebook post about the Michigan Republicans' attempt to circumvent the governor's veto on their package of 39 voter suppression bills.

If you're on Facebook, see how the conversation between voters & bots is going at this link:

This attempt hinges on the Republicans successfully circulating a ballot initiative petition containing the language of the voter suppression bills, and collecting 340,000 valid signatures from Michigan voters in 180 days. Volunteers would never do this.

Slander in MI is defamatory & false statements designed to stop third parties from interacting with individuals. Ann Arbor Council Member Ali Ramlawi is openly attempting to do this to me, a BIPOC anti-segregation activist, with his city Facebook account. A thread.

"Communications are defamatory if they “harm the reputation of another as to lower him in the estimation of the community or to deter third persons from associating or dealing with him.” Swenson-Davis v. Martel...(Mich. Ct. App. 1984)." #a2council

Public Comment is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You should stop what you are doing and watch @NedStaebler rip apart the Republicans in #WayneCounty on the Board of Canvassers for being racists who tried to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Black voters in #Detroit .
