The host from the Detroit Regional Chamber kicks off the #MIGOP #Debate by thanking the candidates for taking time away from their busy schedule of grifting and griping.
#MIGOV
#MPC22
The hosts of today's debate are @rickpluta and @RickAlbinWoodTV, both of whom I had conversations with at the Republican nominating convention in Grand Rapids a couple months ago. @DistillSocial was there too. 😇
Kevin Rinke, just made up total nonsense claim about "abortions" that happen 28 days ✨after✨ a baby is born.

This is illegal, and it is murder. 🤦🏽‍♂️
#MIGov
#MPC22
Ralph Rebrandt repeats a lie about ballots being sent to every voter.

It was applications.

Ricks, please correct them all.

#MIGov
#MPC22
Kevin Rinke is going to regret bringing up prosecuting double voters when he finds out about the people who voted in Michigan and in a famous area in Florida when it comes to elections. 😇
#MIGov
#MPC22
Voter ID is already required, and will be required in the election in November. Absentee ballot applications were sent out because of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. We already know we're not going to send out absentee ballots to every voter, unless local clerks want to.
#MIGOV
Tudor Dixon is lying. Again.
#MPC22
And she is never heard of green screen, apparently 😬
#MIGov
#MPC22
Kevin Rinke gets asked about our state budget and immediately says he would lead us like a former governor of California.

Garrett Soldano joins him.

Hey there Detroit Chamber,
I see you seeing me!
#MPC22
#MIGov
Ralph Rebandt tries to get votes by talking about Harleys.
#MIGov
#MPC22

Live reaction from a Harley owner:
Ryan Kelley is doing way better in this debate than he did in the first one!

#MIGov
#MPC22
Tudor Dixon seems to say women should sit down and shut up more to succeed 😬

#MIGov
#MPC22
Mental illness. Drink.
#MIGov
#MPC22
The "armed veterans defending schools" nonesense policy is repeated by multiple #MIGov #MIGOP candidates.

This is literally a John Rambo fantasy.

#MPC22
Ralph Rebrandt doesn't believe in psychopharmacolog.

#MIGov
#MPC22
Garrett Soldado says we need to develop a way for people to snitch on threatening social media posts, which is ironic because 80% of the violent threats from Michiganders happen in his Facebook groups, and they complain about moderation more than anyone.
#MIGov
#MPC22
Ralph Rebrandt is fear mongering about cannabis with a twenty year old talking point.

Kevin Rinke mentions cutting as a form of self harm, which is an interesting choice devoid of context other than the topic of mental health.

#MIGov
#MPC22
Tudor Dixon is getting talking points from @Tori_Sachs.

#MIGov
#MPC22
Kevin Rinke is volunteering to work a thirteen hour day tarring hot asphalt this July.
#MIGov
#MPC22
Very few people are watching this debate.

I'm starting to envy the vast majority of Michiganders

#MIGov
#MPC22
These Republicans accused the governor of being a governor during campaign season and campaigning the rest of the time.

It's literally the opposite.

#MPC22
#MIGov
Garrett Soldano just gave his MLM pitch, and I'm not kidding.
#MIGov
#MPC22
"We all feel blessed [Trump] is waiting and watching"
-Tudor Dixon
#MIGov
#MPC22
Ralph Rebandt hates the 1st Amendment.
#MIGov
#MPC22
This debate brought to you by the letter "R"

If you live in the blue area of this map, we need you to vote in the Democratic Primary on August 2nd.

We need you to skip the statewide offices, our governor, SOS, and AG candidates are locked in anyway.

We need you to write in JOSEPH ALFONSO for US Congressional District 4. Image
If we fail to get 3,250 voters to do this, there will only be a Republican available on the 4th house district ballot, covering cities like #Kalamazoo, #BattleCreek, #BentonHarbor, #Holland, #Portage, #Saugatuck, #StJoseph, and #SouthHaven. That Republican is absolutely terrible.
Bill Huizenga represents the area of the district in the red square. His old gerrymandered district is in green. He's a no-name candidate in most of the district. He needs an opponent, especially one like Joseph Alfonso who is a Marine #veteran on the state plumbing board. ImageImage

There is some pretty serious tension in this video, but at the end, one of the protesters taps a car, and then a protest organizer uses a megaphone to tell that protester not to attack cars like that.

Then Drew here drops a pedantic racist trope about control.
The video is actual evidence that in these seriously tense situations, the protesters are doing everything they can to make sure the protests continue peacefully.

The racists continue to try to paint the protesters as violent, but they will not succeed in GR.
The reason they will fail, is because Justice for Black Lives Grand Rapids has had to have far too many marches for just causes around the police station. They know the spin tactics. The objective is to fix the structure that caused this shooting so it stops happening.

Get Anti-CRT #FascismTourists to agree with these Paulo Freire quotes, and then tell them who he is (a radical Brazilian educator who pretty much advocated for revolution in and through the schools), a thread
"There’s no such thing as neutral education. Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom."
-Pedagogy of the Oppressed
"If the great popular masses are without a more critical understanding of how society functions, it is not because they are naturally incapable of it—to my view—but on account of the precarious conditions in which they live and survive, where they are “forbidden to know.”"

These anti-CRT, anti-mask weirdos went absolutely nuclear because they weren't allowed to speak twice during public comment at the Grand Ledge Public Schools board meeting.
"If you're going to follow Robert's rules, you have to follow all of Robert's rules!" He shouted from the audience without being recognized.

I've got so much of this on film. And there is so much more. This was just the first one I grabbed to tease Twitter with.
Don't get me wrong, the majority of the comments tonight were positive and defended teachers from accusations of them being the collective reincarnation of Joseph Stalin, but they were absolutely interrupted frequently by the typhoid brigade.

There are communities being targeted by Right wing groups across the country over CRT. Last week, the DC PACs may have picked the wrong one in Grand Ledge, MI. We'll find out tomorrow.

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.
