We start by talking a bit about the Kalamazoo election results, the low turn out, and how the Foundation For Excellence hollows out democracy in our humble town.
An art installation at the University of Michigan has been moved around out of view in a dubious fashion, and Michigan's own Rashida Tlaib is leading the charge to recognize the genocide in Gaza and legislate accordingly.
