I believe in Medicare for All like I believe in public schools. There for you no matter what.

It's a good thing that I'm fat and weird. 😁

On September 21, 1994, President Bill Clinton signed legislation reaffirming the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians' legal & political status as a federally recognized Tribal Nation, giving us the right to self-govern our lands & provide vital services to 6000+ citizens. Happy Sovereignty Day!

I'm eating spam and eggs for lunch because we bought some spam sandwich slices during the Biden administration and quite frankly, its the safest food option in the house.

If you are a real fan of college football, when your team isn't playing, watch Mid-American Conference games, because I'm telling you right now, it will be the most exciting conference to follow this season.

There's nothing better than the first joint of the day, except for maybe coconut cream pie. Yeah, coconut cream pie is definitely better but the first joint of the day is a close second or third.

I steeped my tea for way too long this morning, its basically coffee now.

That's a 1 gram joint. In Texas, this could land me in prison for up to 2 years along with a $10,000 fine. That joint in my hand cost roughly $3. It's a good thing that I live in Michigan, I have no fear of going to prison over a $3 item.

For the first time since 1992, the Natural Law Party of Michigan will not have any candidates on the statewide ballot in the General Election, which means that they will lose their ballot access. End of an era.

As a classical liberal (look it up if you're unfamiliar), I find that I have more things in common with Democratic Socialists than I do with moderate Democrats.

I got a tetanus shot today. I said to the nurse "good, now I can play with rusty nails again." 😂

Voting for the lesser evil is why our government is so fucked, stop doing that. In Michigan, you will have up to 5 additional choices in November if your chosen primary candidate doesn't win.

When I ran for township office in 2016, I attended a "Cass County Tea Party" meeting as a Democratic candidate because I believed that nobody else in my situation would have done that. Never be afraid to chat and listen to those who oppose you.

I got an email over the weekend asking if I was running for public office this year, the email was very complimentary. I'm not, but it's kinda cool to receive an email like that randomly. The last time I ran was in 2020.

Democrats were basically handed the midterm election on a silver platter and yet, they are setting themselves up to fumble on the 1 yard line again, just like in 2024. Democrats never learn from history, Democrats will continue to Democrat.

The World Cup halftime show was kinda like stubbing you toe on a cactus, which I would find more enjoyable. I wish I had to pee but I don't.

Too bad that it's not a Canadian outdoor marijuana grow facility that's on fire, just saying. Seriously though, it smells like everyone in my neighborhood is grilling.

I'm getting bombarded with anti- @abdulelsayed.bsky.social ads on Facebook & YouTube, which tells me that he's doing a great job because the establishment is scared.

I am a proud Pokégnek Bodéwadmik citizen and today, as a sovereign nation, we are choosing our next leaders. It's election day! Today, we will elect a new treasurer and 3 members at-large to our 11 person Tribal Council (our terms run for 3 years). I was voter #1 this morning.
