The Grand Portal

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is a 42 mile stretch on the southern shore of Lake Superior outside of Munising Michigan.
The best way to see the beauty of Pictured Rocks to travel in one of the tour boats out of Munising.
The Grand Portal is one of many geological features that you will see on your tour.

Bill's an election denying weirdo. Don't believe a word these GOP fucks say.

"By contrast, Huizenga endorsed Trump for president last July and voted with the GOP majority to formalize an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. He is a staunch opponent of abortion. He recently voted to fund arms for Israel, but against aid to Ukraine."

Scenes From a #MAGA Meltdown: Inside the “America First” Movement’s War Over Democracy

Across the country, the #Republican Party’s rank-and-file have turned on the #GOP establishment.

In #Michigan, this schism broke the party — and maybe #democracy itself.

University of president calls in to end campus encampment 2 days before he testifies to on pro- encampments at universities. These college administrators are terrible at hiding their fear of fascists:

“Officers from the university’s Division of Public Safety and Security dressed in riot gear were on scene to sweep the 50-person encampment as early as 5:45 a.m., May 21”

"Heckuva job Stu" says what now?

“Democrats can’t beat Republicans at the ballot box so it looks like they are trying to eliminate Republicans from the ballot,” said Stu Sandler, a spokesman for Pensler. “He clearly qualifies for the ballot which is why no timely challenge was filed.”

That's why we have a Dem trifecta, and both Houses. Looks like the GOP are trying the same shit they tried in 2020, and 2022.

Visit to the Adventure Mine, Keweenaw peninsula #Michigan, USA. 1.1 billion year old basalt flows that carry pure #copper. We experienced an underground blast from a safe distance around the corner! #geology #mining

bound. The boys & I are loading up to head east for the summer. Who would not want this setting if it was an option? Dreading this drive; it does not get easier as I age! And there is no realistic option for not going through at least some of the MagaT bastion of . And I'll be darned happy when that is over. Glad I'm not pregnant. 🤦‍♀️

Not as brightly colored as some of my other aurora photos from Friday, but I liked the mood and composition of this one.

I missed this story last week so maybe you did, too, but it’s important.

Democrat Chris Kleinjans won 60% of the vote in an Ottawa County Commissioner's seat recall in , flipping a deep red county and signaling a strong rejection of MAGA extremism. Polls say one thing but the election results Democrats get keep saying something else.

Voters recall far-right Ottawa Impact member from West Michigan county commission • Michigan Advance:

Ottawa County rarely vote Dem. This is pretty big.

Interesting that Gannet fired the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist thats been covering the insanity of Ottawa Impact, the far-right fascist group.

@qotca Thank you. I really wish I had less to do as far as suspending trolls on this platform so I could keep up better with reading who I follow. Thanks for the add.

This is how we get rapid scattered systemic collapse. We elect lawless people to positions which a large fraction of them believe to be the only legitimate law enforcement authorities and effectively above the law.
There are counties in that I would be unsurprised to see openly reject the authority of state or federal law enforcement. https://infosec.exchange/@nathans/112434989146661808

@grumpybozo
As a reminder, a County Sheriff is the only law enforcement officer that is elected to office. Only a governor or voter recall election can remove one from office.
This scenario drips of irony.
