The “Grand New Party” decided to come to Royal Oak to protest a drag queen story time at one of our incredible independent book stores. Royal Oak said #HateWontWin. Loud. Hey @stevecarraMI maybe stick to your own district next time. We lead with love here. ❤️🏳️‍🌈
Shoutout to @sidetrackbooks, our favorite neighborhood bookstore, @CityofRoyalOak for keeping everyone safe, and EVERYONE who showed up for our community and each other. To our visitors today (who were outnumbered at least 100:1) keep your hate at home, we’re good here. ❤️
Not here. Not today. #HateWontWin

Seeing a number of business groups and those that purport to promote “freedom” decrying the Michigan legislature taking up a repeal of so-called Right to Work, so it feels like a good time to thread some facts: #mileg
RTW laws have no significant impact on attracting employers to a state. Area Development magazine noted RTW ranked 14th in location decisions, behind infrastructure, available land, construction costs etc. In all the years they’ve collected data, RTW never broke into Top 10.
However, there is significant data to show that workers in RTW states, both union AND non-union, have lower wages by an average of $1500 a year and a decreased likelihood that workers will get health insurance or pensions through their jobs.

For the past few days, I’ve been working around the clock with my small staff to try to identify and expedite power restoration or support for especially vulnerable residents or those with medical emergencies. I’ve been in direct contact with @DTE_Energy multiple times a day. 1/
The length of this outage, in freezing temperatures, is completely unacceptable. The frequency of outages and lack of reliability is completely unacceptable. I hear you and I’m as frustrated and angry as you are. 2/
My focus right now is trying to ensure everyone gets through this safely. But please know I will do the work to hold DTE accountable and demand improvements. They must upgrade the grid to withstand the new normal. 3/

In Michigan, we’ll demonstrate what’s possible when we elect Democrats. We’ll show what state legislatures can do, and create a state where everyone is welcome, protected, and able to thrive.

That’s why I’m exactly where I need to be, and why I won’t run for US Senate in 2024.
In November, we showed what we can achieve if we dedicate resources to state legislative races and treat them with the same importance that we do federal contests.
For the first time in my lifetime, we flipped the Senate, giving Dems full control of the governorship, House and Senate. When Republicans embraced fringe positions on issues like abortion, LGBTQ rights, and election denialism, the stakes couldn’t have been higher.

Update from DTE on the ice storm and outages:

Public customer outage number is still being manually updated. Now 461,000 without power.
Weather:
Light snow and freezing rain this morning. Won’t have as bad of icing as yesterday. Temps should climb above freezing between 11am-1pm with wind gusts of up to 45 mph to come after 3:00. There is now some concern that not everything will be melted before wind comes.
KEY UPDATE: The DTE outage reporting system is back online so please report any outages or downed lines through the website, app, or phone.

IF YOU SEE A DOWNED POWER LINE, STAY AWAY FROM IT and report it immediately. If it looks to be an urgent emergency (fire etc), call 9-1-1.

Right now, almost 200k Michiganders are without power. We’re aware that @DTE_Energy ‘s website is down, app and phone lines are down. I’m in contact with DTE asking for another way for residents to report issues and to find out what plans are for safety given low temperatures. 1/
DTE let me know that crews will prioritize safety issues. The weight of ice has brought many lines down. That prioritization may slow restoration times. We’ll share more as we have it. clickondetroit.com/video/news/202…
If you see a downed power line, stay far away from it. Call the non-emergency police line to report it. Number varies by municipality but will be available on your municipality website.
