Lake Superior Academy is a beautiful school that had offered an incredible outdoor learning experience — that is until this Bitcoin mining farm moved in…

Okay, everyone -- are you going to join Draco Malfoy and the Slytherin jackbooted snitches, or join Dumbledore's Army? Are you a Grima Wormtongue, licking the boots of Saruman, or a doughty Samwise Gamgee willing to fight Orcs for your friends?

"The decades I was catching violent offenders, Mike Rogers was voting and cashing out with the special interests. So yeah, this Trump voting Fed agent is voting for Abdul El-Sayed." —Eric, Former Federal Law Enforcement

Why has no one crafted an "Is he dead yet?" heat-changing mug which, when hot beverage added to it, transforms to simply say "Yes. Finally." I would order so many for friends and family and to hand out to strangers on the street when it happens.

I know America. I know that, in America, we believe in a country big enough for all of us. So, JD Vance, don't you dare come from Ohio to lecture me. You don't know a damn thing about America.

I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran. Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?

We don't appreciate truckers enough. There are hundreds of trucks lined up for over 3 miles in traffic jam to cross into U.S. at Sarnia. Nearly standstill. They have loads to deliver or pickup, and are waiting patiently to get on with it.

We need to be absolutely clear. Donald Trump is trying to forestall any meaningful limit on AI development, which even the people developing it say has a serious chance of dooming humanity, for one reason. The midterms.

I’m a former in-house lawyer for Harvard. During my recent role as DEI Director at UCLA, I fixated my AuDHD brain on digesting, analyzing and memorizing Project 2025. Since then, unfortunately every one of my political predictions has come to pass. P2025 is 55% complete. The last 1/2 is terrifying.

You know what? I actually kinda feel sorry for the fascists, because they will never know the joy of singing loudly and dancing wildly while cleaning the house, or giving/getting enthusiastic hugs with friends who love you wholeheartedly and without reservation. Both of which I get to do today.

In Michigan, regular unleaded gasoline jumped from $4.56/gal to $4.99/gal at my fueling spots in the last 2 days. Highest ever here in my almost 70 years of living. And it ain't going to get better for quite a while.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

transiticsnews.comI’m a Texan Trans Kid Who Almost Died Because of Ken Paxton. The World Should Know What He’s Done.Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

Michiganders are *literally* sick of Mike Rogers’ corruption. He’s taken more than $1M from Big Pharma, voted 19 times to keep prescription drug prices high, and even declared himself a "champion" of the opioid industry. 🤒💊 Watch our new ad:

Seriously, though, there have to be people out there with expertise in medical assisting devices who could (and should) weigh I with an opinion here. So sick of the lies and lack of transparency from this administration.

When I became a dad, it changed the way I see the world. We need new people thinking about the future now. Lower costs. Better healthcare. Jobs. A Michigan our kids deserve. More time with each other. I’m Abdul El-Sayed, dad, and I approve this message.

The conservative right is losing their minds that progressive influencers were "thirst trapping" people into becoming paid poll workers. Han & Leia are here to remind any who sees this that the Empire are the bad guys & that you have the power to defeat them. #ElectionWatch2026 #ThirstTrap #AltGov

Even from a purely national pride perspective, this requires you to think that the 100 year period from 1926 was a failure for the United States, instead of the zenith of its power, prosperity, and influence
