Good citizenship is a learned practice. My focus is on what's (1) broken in our communities, the (2) role of individuals, and why (3) holding our leaders accountable is a civic responsibility. 🔗👨🏿‍🦱📞 @hoodresearch.org #Detroit, #Michigan

Ads are being run by MAGA inc. The #Republicans do not care about the outcome, they are planning ahead. It's highly likely that their braintrust is making good use of this defeat to weed out the weak and prep for the next elections. Maybe this is how they get rid of the Paxtons?

This guy is a Kennedy? An ignorant racist. By the way, Naguib Mahfouz, an Egyptian writer, won the 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature.

It doesn’t matter how wealthy you are, how powerful you are, or whether you are a Democrat or Republican. If you were involved in Epstein’s crimes or abused women and girls, you should be held accountable. Period.

NEW: Anthropic’s filing appears to partly walk back the co-founders’ pledge to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the AI startup to philanthropic causes. Those acts, the filing suggests, are “voluntary, revocable expressions” that “do not constitute binding obligations.”

WELKER: If you were elected, would you vote to repeal some of President Trump's tariffs? MIKE ROGERS: The best way to do this is to talk in and say, 'Can we work this out?' I'm not even in office yet. (That's a no!)

Turnout in 2024 was 47% They don’t compare presidential to midterms, but the effects are the same. If #Detroit does not vote, Democrats don’t win. This makes me livid because this was caused by the Michigan Democratic Party and the collective effort to prevent another mayor like the late CAY.

So political rallies are now over, 🪦, they are just hero worship. This hurts the many who want to be politicians who are introverted. But actually this is how consultants make their money, by promoting and organizing rallies.

“They’ll say he’s bragging about making money while people are suffering.” Trump brags about how much money oil companies are making and belittles the idea that Americans are suffering from higher prices🤔

Former Sec. of State Antony Blinken (under Pres. Biden) would have had to approve of the military contract with SpaceX for Ukraine. He can provide all of the T's and C's, etc.

Henry B.@grubert.bsky.social

The US defense contract with SpaceX for starlink service in Ukraine began in 2023, under Pres. Biden. That contract is supposed to be public. Based on these reports it seems that Musk has committed treason. All of his government contracts should be put on hold.

Henry B. reposted

There it is. Elon Musk admits it. “That loophole was closed last week.” In a deranged post on X, Musk openly acknowledges that SpaceX recently restricted Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink.

Henry B. reposted

Why wouldn’t he admit it? The Supreme Court immunized this kind of stuff. It’s why Jack Smith had to take the Jeffrey Clark/DOJ/Trump conspiracy out of his Jan 6 indictment.

SpaceX describes Starshield as a "secured satellite network for government entities" that "leverages Starlink technology." And don't forget SpaceX gets *paid* to provide both Starshield and Starlink to Ukraine by NGOs, governments, etc. Poland is a big customer so is U.S. Pentagon.

Simply imagine a Lockheed, Boeing or other prime defense contractor - out of nowhere, no communication - implementing some terms of service or term in a contract they think they have without reaching out first to say we think you are violating this. As a result we will nerf your crucial technology.

Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

If u get a pardon for a crime u did not commit that’s makes u above the law. The law then only exists for those not in power.

This is corruption by #Amazon It’s currying favor It’s a form of bribery It’s part of a RICO scheme But I am very doubtful anyone will investigate. This is also a state level crime. Any state where Amazon does business can investigate.
