We Are All Michigan. How COVID-19 & Dam Failures Reveal We Fight For Each Other
It’s certainly been a Spring to remember in Michigan. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the entire nation–and world–with Michigan being one of the worst hit states in the union. As of this writing, Michigan has experienced nearly 53,000 positive COVID-19 cases, and over 5,200 deaths. The pandemic is crushing our working class, small businesses, and…

Michigan Republicans Want To Feed The Virus To Save Trump
Infections are falling, hospitals are stabilizing, because of what we’ve all done – and must continue to do – together. pic.twitter.com/m2UUeKYF53 — David Coulter (@davidwcoulter) April 19, 2020 I’ve read complaints on social media about not being allowed to paint, or fertilize lawns.

Willing To Die For The New “Cause”
LIBERATE MICHIGAN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2020 I have stayed relatively hopeful up until this last week.

Like a Good Little Cult, Michigan GOP Following Dear Leader During Pandemic
April, 14, 2020 I find it astounding as I listen to Michigan’s right-wing fringe deem gardening and speed-boating more important than saving lives. By the way, who in Michigan does heavy gardening in April? For the record, we don’t begin planting in our garden until May. Sorry, I’ll be 100% honest: The LOL technical adviser,…

We Made It To 2020!
Hello fellow LOLers, Pat’s still here. I greatly apologize for tapping-out for the final two months of the year. My day job added more responsibilities to my daily routine for the close of the year, and I simply didn’t have the juice to keep up with website postings and podcasts. But some of those extra…
