I've always believed Oxford Street could be so much more than a road. Today we begin a new chapter as the nation’s high street goes traffic free, creating a place where people can spend time, enjoy the atmosphere and experience the very best of our city.

Mistaken as a staffer for my Congresswoman and happily helped take photos for superfans. We were in good company at a fundraiser supporting an interfaith shelter for homeless families.

For your holiday gift giving needs.

Toronto showing us how it’s done with multifamily housing and duplexes for daaaays.

Shared some tears and a moment of silence in remembrance of October 7th at my last JFS board meeting. This organization tirelessly advocates for New Americans much like how Lutherans resettled my parents 50 years ago. Love and care is the American Way.

Good morning, Jackson! Growing Jackson brought this food hub and market to life on the grounds of a former penitentiary that’s been converted to housing. Proud to support the work with a grant supporting food security. Former WIC kids like myself know this need well.

Photo collage of my first political fundraiser by my then 10 year old, from my library board run in 2016. We were a slate of 4 Moms, first-time candidates, and raised around $3K. It covered the whole campaign. We won 67.6% of the votes in a crowded field of 8 candidates. @aadl.org

Proud to be a leading sponsor for this organization’s work in housing equity and access in my county. Public and private, philanthropic partnerships are essential for abundant housing in this lifetime.

Good morning, Lansing!

Bummed to have missed the pedestrianization of this LGBTQ district in Toronto. Business owners made more in the first 5 days than any other week all year. “Honey, the cars are gone. Did we slay?” @visionzeroannarbor.org www.instagram.com/reel/Db9HTvM...

In the 1970s, over 80% of UK children travelled to school independently. This has fallen to 25% - impacting health, well being, independence etc. In London, we're tackling the school run. With 870 school streets, 66% of kids now walk, cycle or scoot. ldd.news/uk-news/lond...

Yes, Michigan! With www.instagram.com/mariomooreart in Detroit.

I think often about a conversation with a tankie-type along these lines about housing. When I asked how actual houses and apartments would be allocated if not by the market, the straight-faced reply: “Community meetings”

Dearborn, my hometown where I learned how to be American alongside kids from Lebanon, Yemen, and 2nd gen kids like me with family from Italy, Poland, and Vietnam. Share tabbouleh at school, wait for a friend to finish catechism, and your Dad works for Ford. Come visit, you’ll love the people & city.

Chatted with 3 little witches roaming the neighborhood last night and found this on my porch today. DELIGHTFUL.

Hints of Ann Arbor’s #a2council NIMBY nostalgia for former Kroger sites that now house hundreds of residents, and progressive candidates who claim not enough housing for low-income folks is being built when projects like these create multiples more than what was built decades before. MATH.

Loved celebrating primary wins with these Michigan geeks.

Cookies for tomorrow’s election poll workers. Recipe with my kid’s annotations.

Primary election party pickles! I’ve made about 15 pounds and another 50 pounds of Korean soy sauce pickles 장아찌 to distribute.

#a2council, please tell me Ann Arbor is at least ahead of Columbus on this? Buckeyes already have us beat on growth, affordability, and diversity.

Incredible coming home across the new Gordie Howe International Bridge. Thanks, Canada!

Detroit Chinatown Block Party!

I asked our housing commission director if it's possible to build new public housing with 100% public funding? #a2council candidates who attended heard the same answer and are lying on the doors when they argue it's the preferable approach. youtu.be/OZBJ6iHbUus?...

Ann Arbor vibes for decades, with the distinct honor of sharing activist Alan Haber’s efforts stopping developments in both Ann Arbor and Berkeley, protesting from his summer home in France. #a2council

NYC’s Bastille Day, celebrating the unity of French people, abolishment of feudalism, and this dog costume parade a block or so from Trump Tower. 10/10

Aaah, shared and safe streets with active retail and restaurants. New York City does not mess around!

Excellent overview on how adding “luxury,” market rate housing also brings an increase in lower rent apartments via filtering, touching on debt service and how more supply is not the same as high supply. #a2council xcancel.com/jayparsons/s...

not really fourth of july content but i found thus explanation of affordable housing financing in DC very informative.

Something #a2council candidates should consider as we map out how to finance affordable housing. Construction costs won’t decrease anytime soon, public projects are not exempt from from market costs. open.substack.com/pub/housingi...

This is amazing work by @justineunderhill.bsky.social: "It turns out when people have to pay the true cost of suburban sprawl themselves, they don't think it's worth it." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1G3...

Showing up for LGBTQ+ families means you rally electeds and pay for catering. Stay hydrated, eat your greens and proteins. Fortify yourselves for the fight ahead.

I give annual donations to AAPS social work offices. 25% of students qualify for free-reduced lunches, same stat for decades. Redlined families need help avoiding evictions to car repairs. Denying a housing crisis means you haven’t spoken to a social worker for awhile. www.cbpp.org/research/hou...

So proud of my other half for this recognition. www.detroitnews.com/videos/news/...

Skillman Foundation’s board retreat in Lansing, in our state capitol, where I could finally share how the architect also built Denver and Austin’s capitols.

Time to check in on housing agencies struggling with new HUD guidelines that are a departure from the Housing First model AND explicitly erases LGBTQ communities. This puts 40% of CoC funding at risk. #a2council candidates should know this like their own muni budgets. nn4youth.org/2026/06/09/a...

Thanks to Skillman Foundation for hosting a governance workshop with foundation leaders and board chairs. Song Foundation’s President Khalilah Burt Gaston, was thrilled to work with Carol Goss again. Legend!

Denial is not a river in Egypt. It’s here with #a2council candidates claiming that public housing should only be financed with magical, uncommitted tax dollars. Why pick a fight with our housing commission and all the work they do? www.a2gov.org/media/0ztjtz...

My kid was so excited to spot this poster at school. This was my #a2council priority with ARPA funding. It was a fight, with critics insisting “no one asks for something like this.” Pandemic recovery dollars to those most impacted was the right choice regardless of whether they gave public comments.
