In 1965, Detroit’s Viola Liuzzo drove to Alabama to join the Selma-to-Montgomery march because she believed equality and justice belong to every American. Her courage inspires me every day. It was an honor to visit her memorial with my fellow Michigan lawmakers.

No Donald Trump, you can’t seize our ballots or have access to voters’ private data. Not on my watch.

We did it! 30,000 signatures from all across Michigan to get on the ballot. Onward to November!
Every marathon I run reminds me that if we put one foot in front of the other, we’re capable of more than we ever thought possible. That’s exactly how I’m running this campaign: one conversation after another and one city at a time as we build momentum to make Michigan the best place to call home.
Saunteel Jenkins is a relentless force for good here in Detroit, and I’m excited to welcome her to our team. Let’s get to work!
Team Benson is getting stronger every day! I’m grateful to welcome my good friend, State Rep. and Legislative Black Caucus Chair Amos O’Neal, to our winning coalition. I’m so proud to have him with us as we build a people-powered movement for a stronger, more affordable Michigan. Let’s get it done!
In this moment, governors are the guardrails against election deniers who want to rip away our access to the ballot box. I’ve stood up for Michigan citizens as Secretary of State, and I’ll stand up to anyone — even the President — to protect your voices and votes as governor.
The only thing the SAVE Act will do is make it harder for American citizens to vote. Period. Michigan’s elections are among the most secure and accessible in the country. Let’s keep it that way.
Michigan Democrats: the love and support you showed me this weekend is overwhelming. I’m ready to fight for you and with you to win big this fall.
Today is Memorial Day. As a military spouse, I think of the families who didn’t get their service members back. Behind every name is a husband, a parent, a wife, and a child. Today, and always, we honor their sacrifice and carry their memory forward.
I started my career in Montgomery, Alabama, investigating hate crimes and extremist’s across the country. That experience showed me why it’s important that we commit ourselves to confronting hate in all its forms. It’s why I’ve dedicated my life to protecting voting rights and fighting for equality.

Fraser Tolmie outright lies about what was said about the future of the Snowbirds. Romanado says an announcement is coming on the 19th. Tolmie demand an answer RIGHT NOW! #QP
Trump still thinks the gold at Fort Knox isn’t real. With a war in Iran and rising gas and grocery prices, this doesn't seem like where the president's attention should be.
Autocrats believe due process is itself a sham. That is why they assume and expect sham trials. The J6 myth depends on pretending these were sham prosecutions. But as McFarlane notes, not one case was overturned. None. And DOJ had a 100% jury conviction rate at trial.
On Memorial Day, Southwest Florida locals joined others across the country to participate in the "Murph" workout, paying tribute to military members killed in the line of action. More: https://www.gulfcoastnewsnow.com/article/swfl-locals-tribute-fallen-soldiers-memorial-day-murph-workout/71401883

😔💭 Sometimes people are not lazy or weak — they are just tired, stressed, depressed, or disappointed with where life has taken them. Wanting to make a change in your life is nothing to be ashamed of. 💵 Money can make life a little easier, but it does not magically fix you.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez told people to vote for the Democratic opponent of the Zionist Jews control Hollywood lady, Maureen Galindo. Guess who was unhappy about that? Hasan Piker.

The events of the White House Correspondents Dinner have been made out to be many things. But one is certain—it was unsurprising.
Following last week's announcements that The Home Office will cease issuing study visas to Afghan nationals to prevent them from claiming asylum, I raised the fact that gender apartheid is currently taking place in Afghanistan & asked what hope there is for other students to complete their studies.

Richtig. Es ist meine Meinung, dass #Merz wohl ein Narzisst mit wenig logischem Verständnis ist, stattdessen ein sehr berechenbarer Rechtsanwalt. Merkt man immer wieder. Gleiches Muster. Und sich selbst nur abfällig gegenüber anderen Menschen äußern. Ganz großes Kino. #Diskriminierung sehe ich da.
