Just walked through downtown Rochester & was utterly disgusted to see white nationalist flyers plastered everywhere. Hate has no place in MI. We must stand together against bigotry, racism, and division. Let's promote love, acceptance, & equality ->> progressive values for all.

Sapporo stated that they would take an offer seriously from us. Workers have taken this process seriously, through huge emotional turmoil, supporting themselves and their families, and continuing to show up to produce Anchor. chng.it/mnHzPhDY

I really can’t adequately express how incredible this experience was. If you’re an artist in any medium, consider applying for the Mackinac Island Artist in Residence program. Life changing. #puremichigan #mackinacisland

For everyone carrying on about the new WSJ survey about young people identifying as less patriotic and more disconnected with America than their elders... Look at this photo. THIS. IS. WHY.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on... Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

It’s one thing to hear great music at the @A2schools Bands in Review, it’s another thing to hear some of the pieces composed by your mentor teacher (and amazing composer), @ADPerkins1978!

For the first time in Michigan’s history, Black men lead both chambers of the state Legislature. Representation matters and I am honored to have the opportunity to deliver for all Michiganders in a meaningful and unique way. fox2detroit.com/news/black-m…

Learning how to use a sample library is like learning a new instrument. You don't just buy the library and instantly sound good, you have to practice.

Went on JWPepper this morning to show my 7th graders how to search for music they’d be interested in playing, and they were like “Hey, isn’t that you? Can we play that? “Yes it is. No you can’t.”
