My campaign has held more than 600(*!) events in 110 cities across Michigan. From Escanaba to Eaton Rapids, I see the same thing. Too many places left behind, a rigged economy, and corrupt politicians. New ad:

Thanks to Trump and his ilk the US is no longer that shining city on a hill. Now it is the mission of each and every Americanโ€”no matter where you are, or where you were bornโ€”to ensure that light isn't extinguished. Keep it safe, carry it forward. ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

This enrages me so much. He looks just like he does when he's shouting at that little kid on the WH lawn. He's such a bully. #FDT #IStandWithYamiche

Trump tells a reporter who asks him about going to war with American cities to โ€œbe quietโ€ and โ€œlistenโ€

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

1) We are all exhausted by the daily evil (I tried to find a more temperate word, but...) perpetrated by the Trump administration. I doubt many of you will have even noticed that Trump pulled the US out of UNESCO yet again on the grounds that it is "too woke" and not enough "America first."

4) Of course this is a fictional story, but it has fuelled my creativity (and that of others in the MystiTech Productions team) for nearly twelve years. (Picture is of members of the D'ni Restoration Council passing the stewardship of D'ni into the hands of representatives of UNESCO)

5) Of course as what happened after the 2020 election, the US can rejoin UNESCO when Trump is finally gone. But this tiny sliver of the daily onslaught of negative news from the WH is heartbreaking. To me, at least. ๐Ÿ’”

2) This really hit me hard. In 2013, when Frank Zavelberg and I first started talking about making an Uru based machinima (The Lost Art), we set it in a future when the Cavern containing the hidden city of the D'ni was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site to protect it's marvels and secrets.

3) The fictional UNESCO Special Projects Unit assumed caretaking responsibilities, and as part of a plausible cover story they appointed my character (Morgan Lapahie) to be a UNESCO travelling fellow. (Photo is of Morgan entering the Archives in the desert above the hidden city.)

It is such a powerful affirmation of shared humanity to feel safe, seen, and understood. This is what love looks like.

Just finished watching the heartrenching final episode of The Handmaid's Tale. I can't describe the pain I'm feeling at the moment for my homeland. Am I sad? Am I angry? Am I woke? Hell, yea!

1) I haven't been back to the US since the pandemic, and I don't know when I will return. I mention this because I was buying borek in the local Hypermarche this morning (17 May 2025) and the young guy who was working the register clocked my accent and asked where I was from.

6) The fact that he comes across as warm, outgoing and politeโ€”I hate the fact that I don't trust that it will suffice. I also promised him when I left that I would come back in July, just to make sure he *had* made it back safely. He said "You do that!"

5) He said he would be going in June. Told me he's going to California, Las Vegas and Miami. I said "Oh, you should be okay." I mean, what else was I going to say. I'd already upset him enough.

2) I said "London". He laughed, and then he told me he was going to the US this summer and my heart just fell. This very good looking 20-ish guy has a middle eastern accent (nothing wrong with that, *I* have a non-British accent) and an open, generous manner and I just wanted to say "don't go!"

3) But of course I didn't. However he wanted to know what was wrong. I asked "Haven't you heard what's happening over there?" "No?" We talked a bit about it and he said he had a tourist VISA good for 10 years.

This is appalling. I am so glad she had the resources ( inner strength *and* journalistic contacts) to get this story out there. Sickening.
