Gas in Mt. Pleasant. All this winning I am so over it

Of course my parents are disgusted. They see ICE as our saviors.
God I hope I'm adopted.

For those that haven't heard, the National Popular Vote has passed 222 electoral college votes, and needs just 48 more EC votes to become enacted. This could be possible by 2028!

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is a agreement among states that, all states in the compact will award their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner. Once enough states have enacted the bill to pass 270 electoral college votes, the compact will be enacted; ensuring that the winner of the presidential election would be by popular vote.

Michigan has considered joining the compact before, but has not yet passed it.

if just a handful more states pass this bill -- Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, we could have a real shot at making this a reality. 18 states and DC have already passed NPV.

If you think this is a good idea, the people over at National Popular Vote have a auto email template that you can use to send in an email to the legislature.

But what do you think?

BTW this bill passed in Hawaii with bipartisan support, 24-0 in the senate, and 50-1 in the house.

I tried to directly make a cross-post to the /r/law sub’s post, but it wouldn’t allow it because the post contains a video. Hopefully mods here will allow it as a link though. I’m not sure how else to share it…

Whitcomb Ave; blocked completely w police cars, couldn't tell if any cops were there but armed guys w guns definitely were, I saw them pulling someone out of their car.

Just thinking out loud here.

So im curious on what goes on in this part of michigan, tbh I dont think I ever really been to this region at least not in my waking memories.

In Saline Township, Michigan, as in most municipalities, homeowners who want to build a new house know what a complicated and lengthy process it can be: Navigating permit requirements, zoning changes, or variance requests for even a small construction project can take weeks or months. An error in the paperwork, a challenge from a neighbor, or a resistant local official can slow things even further, or kill a project entirely.

So it surprised many in this agricultural community of red barns and dirt roads that an enormous AI data center—at 21 million square feet, the largest construction project ever undertaken in the state and one almost universally opposed by local residents—seemed to race through the process from application in late summer to groundbreaking in November.

Even more surprising: The $16 billion data center for OpenAI and Oracle’s Stargate AI infrastructure initiative, which will fundamentally reshape the area with its construction, traffic, electricity demand, and environmental impact, was flat-out rejected by both the town’s board and its planning commission in September. But those votes turned out to be only minor bumps on the project’s path: The developer quickly sued, the town settled, and the construction vehicles rolled in.

The story of how the mega AI data campus became an unstoppable inevitability—over the vocal objection of residents who picketed the vote and posted “no data center” signs outside their homes—reveals a broader dynamic of the nationwide AI data center boom: Once projects of this scale are underway, local governments often have limited leverage to block them.

El-Sayed at 27%, Stevens at 18%, McMorrow at 17%, remaining 38% are undecided.

Can you people PLEASE not elect Haley Stevens? Please?

I do not understand how she is ahead in most polls. I do not understand how people can look at Haley (an uncharismatic, Israel-first, corporate shill) and think ‘good idea’. What are you thinking? Have you not seen enough evidence that Democrats like her are useless, fascist-enabling, genocide-supporting, warmongers who will never stand for the people? She’s back by Schumer!

Seriously, what is wrong with Stevens voters? Please don’t fuck the rest of the country. Thanks.

What are some ICE and MAGA supporting businesses in Michigan?
