It's college tour season with my A2-born-and-bred son and so far I haven't seen any squirrels that measure up.

Opinion | Ann Arbor is changing. 15 years ago, the bars here would always ask for my ID when I got a beer. Now they just... assume I'm over 21. I wonder what made all the bars and restaurants change their policy. #a2council

My favorite genre of Ann Arbor Has Changed is Boomers noticing that there are fewer children around (as they drive home to their mostly-empty 3 or 4 bedroom houses).

What folks who don't have trans kids might not know is that they generally see their endocrinologists every six months. If the state doesn't notify families they could be blindsided at their next appointment. And puberty-blocking implants can't be "tapered", you have one or you don't.

Michigan, both kids had the same 5th grade teacher who wanted them to learn it. Voluntary but if you didn't say it you were expected to sit quietly. I don't think either ever did it except for that one year.

Ramaswamy made his money through a scam. That's not success; it’s corruption. This election is the big chance in our lifetime to do something about the people who think politics is just there to enable ever bigger personal grifts.

If you're willing to sell out trans kids for theoretical votes I have to assume you'd sell out anyone for theoretical votes, so, yes, I do think supporting sports bans means you get not a fucking thing from me.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

“I don’t have a problem with trans people, I just don’t think they should be able to use public bathrooms or play sports or get healthcare—“ ok so that’s segregation. you are functionally a segregationist. and you want me to believe that fights fascism somehow. ok.

It's a tough move for a politician, but most of us can answer the "sports " question: "First, I don't believe the people making an issue of this give a shit about kids. The opposite, in fact. They're the ones sending kids to rot in camps, taking their food stamps, and blocking the Epstein Flies...

Called it. The father was charged with punching the child while the mother did witness intimidation to cover it up. www.wbur.org/news/2026/09...
The case was reported to the state in early 2025. Both parents were charged in connection with an incident at the family’s Southborough home in late January of that year, according to court documents. WBUR is not identifying the teenager, who is a minor.

Joseph Kutzko was accused of punching and threatening his then-15-year-old child at the family home on Jan. 28, 2025, records from Westborough District Court show. A Southborough police detective wrote that Kutzko punched the victim in the shoulder and pulled them by their hair. Kutzko later allegedly threatened to kill the victim “for not singing in tune during a birthday celebration,” according to court records.

Kutzko was arrested the next day and pleaded not guilty. In setting bail, the judge referred to three prior restraining orders against Kutzko, one of which is permanent. She did not say whether any are tied to this case.

The child’s mother, Arlene Kutzko, was charged with witness intimidation after allegedly pressuring the child to “tell the school that she was exaggerating and being stupid.”

#a2schools The BOE got an earful from trans alumni, parents of trans kids, and community members. They voted to authorize the Superintendent to hire outside counsel to address the letter from the DOJ, which I'm taking as a good sign.
