Here is some advice on getting by in these times from Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King. I really like the last paragraph, so please read it all.

Some Wise Advice Circulating:
1. Don’t use his name; EVER (45 will do)
2. Remember this is a regime and he’s not acting alone;
3. Do not argue with those who support him–it doesn’t work;
4. Focus on his policies, not his orange-ness and mental state;
5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow;
6. No more helpless/hopeless talk;
7. Support artists and the arts;
8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it;
9. Take care of yourselves; and
10. Resist!

Keep demonstrations peaceful. In the words of John Lennon, “When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight! Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.”

When you post or talk about him, don’t assign his actions to him, assign them to “The Republican Administration,” or “The Republicans.” This will have several effects: the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don’t like; he will not get the focus of attention he craves; Republican representatives will become very concerned about their re-elections.

These proposals are voter suppression, pure and simple. How many people do you know who changed their name upon marriage or for any other reason where the name on their birth certificate no longer matches their name on their driver's license?

The Arbor Hills Landfill at Six Mile Road and Napier Road is again seeking to expand to a 730-acre parcel across Six Mile Road, and local residents are preparing to mobilize against the move. The Conservancy Initiative, a local grassroots organization that arose during an earlier expansion plan, is hosting an informational meeting on dump owner GFL's proposed expansion set for Monday, Jan. 12, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Northville High School auditorium, 45700 Six Mile Road, Northville Township. Local and state elected officials will join initiative members and representatives of environmental organizations to discuss the expansion plan, the approval process and its avenues for public involvement, and their concerns over what is proposed.

If you are disgusted by Arbor Hills’ air and water pollution, garbage-truck congestion, and repeated violations of federal and state solid waste regulations, you should plan to attend the meeting to see how you can get involved. More information at https://conservancyinitiative.org .

The Conservancy Initiative or Stop Arbor Hills is a group of citizens organized to stop expansion of Advanved Disposal's Arbor Hills Landfill in Northville Michgan. This site provides the latest information related to environmental compliance at the landfill.

In case you are not aware, Mike Duggan has gone full MAGA! His campaign is financed by right-wing Republicans and dark money. He is NOT an independent and is not a moderate!

The Detroit mayor’s donations raise big questions about his political realignment as he runs for governor as an independent

NEW: Signature gatherers for the 2 voter suppression petitions have been spotted outside Secretary of State offices and on college campuses telling people that the petition will require Voter ID.

FACT CHECK: Michigan already has a constitutional voter ID requirement. That's why you are asked to show ID when you go vote.

What these petitions will actually do is create more unnecessary bureaucracy and government red tape that will block eligible citizens from voting.

DECLINE TO SIGN any petition that mentions Voter ID or Citizen Voting!!
