Nearly a million people in Michigan without power today. Storms swept the country, but Michigan took the brunt of power outages - again. Most of those without power are DTE Energy customers. A thread 🧵 1/ DTE Energy - an investor-owned utility monopoly - is among the least reliable energy providers in the country. Every year, when storms hits, hundreds of thousands lose power - sometimes for days on end. 2/

Almost 24 hours w/out power & no timeline for when it's coming back on. But that's the case for 100s of thousands of Michiganders. Take a look at the DTE outage map. 1/ Turns out @DTE_Energy is one of the least reliable utilities in the country & the least reliable in the state. The orange line for MED means "Major Event Days." We can expect more of those w/ the climate crisis. 2/

Our communities that have been torn apart by mass incarceration, an unjust immigration system & state violence. Our families that lost work, lost loved ones, lost housing & healthcare during a pandemic 2/

Michigan showed tf up yesterday & the day before that & the day before that & the day before that.

After MI certified the election, key dominos fell: GSA moved on transition, State Supreme Court rejected appeal on their lawsuit, GOP Senators/CEOs acknowledged Trump's loss 1/ This was a decisive blow to Trump & his allies attempts to undermine our democracy. We may see some last gasp efforts to hold onto power, and we'll be ready for it if it comes, but the proverbial nail is in the coffin. 2/

Let's be clear: the GOP playbook is and has been to disenfranchise as many Black voters as possible in Michigan. #AllEyesOnMI #DoYourJob #VotersDecided 1/ That is what any effort to stall certification today will be about. It's what the the recent RNC/MI GOP letter signed by @GOPChairwoman & @MIGOPChair was about. It's what attempts to obstruct Wayne County certification were about. 2/
