Mom, social worker and lifelong marketing student. Only sure of 1 thing: my recently potty-trained kid could serve this country better than the rich, morally bankrupt snowflakes in the GOP.

For those suggesting to preemptively kill deer “before they get hit by a car” (even though there’s only a 1.47% chance you’ll collide with a deer in Michigan)… who else do you believe should be killed to spare them the pain in the low chance they might be killed? #a2council

Or maybe… we should just make it safer for all? Signs, protected bike lanes, fencing, wildlife crossings.

By the “we should kill deer before we hit them with cars” logic, we should shoot pedestrians/bikers in Ann Arbor, as they’re much more likely to be hit in the city than deer. #a2council

SO proud of Daisy Girl Scouts! 💙 To GOTV, they handed out “I’m a voter” stickers on UM’s Ann Arbor campus today. Some said no. But a lot—like those here—told the girls how cool they are, and cheered them on, often sharing they were Girl Scouts, too. 💙 Girl power. We can do this.

I’ve heard this before. Seems weird to do preemptive killing before any data. Can you name any other situation for which we slaughter sacrifice?

I’m sorry— no one wants that. But theres a lot of research on “DVCs”— and as much as you might think killing some deer will help; they persist. What helps are fencing, signage and wildlife crossing areas.

But the population rebounds. Evolution takes hold and more twins are born; a study found the population grew after a cull because the does who survived were healthier with the added resources and had more babies. If needed, population should be brought down gradually, so as to actually work.

Arends supports shooting deer in the parks, and makes continual SeeClickFix tickets for weeds be pulled from the sidewalk. There’s a certain kind of “I want the world ‘just so’” by faux lefties. #a2council

Gonna be hard for A2 NIMBYs to choose whether to cull the deer or keep them so that they can use to prevent muni golf courses from becoming affordable housing. #a2council www.latimes.com/california/s...

When people want things “the way they were,” we oughta all look at who benefits from that… and who doesn’t? I don’t want to say folks bracing against change intend to be exclusionary… but that’s what they end up being.

Ha. And maybe I’m being naive, but assuming they exist, what credible “insider” (let alone plural insiderS) would actually know and say that? Are readers that driven to conspiracy theories that they forget logic, or does he just want us to be?

Not nearly as awful, but this was his “journalism,” too: “Privately though, there have been discussions among Taylor-aligned council members of coalescing around a shadow mayor who can keep city administration focused on the priorities of the council’s majority, insiders say.” Um… insiders?

Because a) other cities have done; golf courses are already partially cleared; and b) we have an incoming mayor who claims to have DSA values, says he doesn’t want Ann Arbor to be a “country club” anymore, and wants to build permanently affordable housing on public land. Because now is the time.

I’m sure all parks run at a loss. But most don’t serve just 1000 people per month who have the money and equipment to play a game requiring 100+ acres. And I’d guess most don’t need tens of thousands of dollars of chemicals placed on them to run.
