This is the rare kind of ectopic pregnancy I had a couple of years ago. It ruptured with internal bleeding. I would have died if I didn’t live 5 minutes from a hospital. Reproductive healthcare is essential and the reason why I’m here for my partner, children, and community.
Beware the interstitial (cornual) ectopic pregnancy - may appear IUP early, bleed a lot #FOAMed #EMConf @UMEmergencyMed

My Halloween 2017 costume, when I had kids repeat after me, “Nazis are bad.” Also a good reminder to move off of here to bsky.app/profile/lsong.bsky.….

Please vote YES on Washtenaw County’s senior millage. This will provide annual funding for Meals on Wheels and wraparound services for seniors living below poverty level in very urban and rural areas. Medicare does NOT cover all essential needs! sayyestoseniors.com/projects

Time to make cookies for election workers, a tradition I’ve had with the kids since 2016.

Drove 2.5 hours to Holland to see SEPARATED, the doc by @errolmorris & @jacobsoboroff, because the summer of 2018 was one of the most influential of my life as a Latino, a Texan, and a public health professional. Longer review coming, but I want to share some initial thoughts.
🚨 NEW CITY: We *just* added weekend screenings of SEPARATED at Sperry’s Moviehouse in Holland, Michigan to our current lineup. You can also see it in CA, AZ, NM, OR, FL, ME, TX and CO before Election Day. More cities to be announced. tickets: submarine.com/separated

An important reminder from Rep. @DebDingell: Vote for Supreme Court (Kyra & Kim) and local judges (Jinan & Kerene), and on #AnnArbor City Proposals, keep it simple: Vote YES-YES-NO-NO! #A2Council

Local noise about labor helping with #a2council campaigns as if it’s a negative when it’s a point of pride and an honor to accept support. Not just the check, but 3 burly dudes in my campaign shirts doorknocking during the pandemic was amazing. Note labor hours in the memo.

Halloween 2024 called for the Blue Wall and opposing local propositions led by NIMBYs and former #a2council members who think racial diversity is “just looks.” And with over 400 trick-or-treaters, our house passed the walkable neighborhood test.

This is what developers mean when they say a project won’t pencil out. No conspiracy, no corruption, just economics and reality. #a2council
To get a housing crisis as bad as this, you need crazy things to happen, like the regional chief administrative officer believing that development fees do not increase housing prices. Why is this view so common among city planners? 1/

I’m the last retiree standing on #a2council. CMs work full time jobs, Council, and part-time jobs to afford to live in Ann Arbor. I honor our YIMBY Council and service orgs addressing housing needs by donating my salary: WHA, CAN, @jfsannarbor, & @geo3550. Adding @SOS_Community.

SOS takes calls as 8-10 families enter homelessness each week in our County. Every CM knows agency directors, advocates for funding, and volunteers with local nonprofits before and after elections. Progressive action, not talk. Party values, not cynicism. soscs.networkforgood.com/

Serving on the @aadl board before #a2council was essential to understanding governance, democracy in action, and responding to community needs. Thanks @JocelynBenson, @JackieBeaudry1, and @AADLeli for making voting accessible to all at the library. Hat tip to @Sweetwaters, too!
Great kickoff of early voting in Ann Arbor this morning for the first day of statewide early voting. Hail to the early voters!

Ohio showing us up in Michigan. But am so glad Ann Arbor’s #a2council snagged Cincinnati’s former City Manager who led the city through this streetcar project and the city’s nationally recognized economic turnaround.
Cincinnati's streetcar is on track to serve 1,200,000 passengers this year. Among our region's 85 transit routes -- including seven that operate 24/7 and all of which are much longer -- the streetcar will rank first or second in total ridership for 2024.

Quick thread on Density Zones, our new proposal for how the federal government can help address zoning problems. Why do I think this type of solution makes sense? I will explain…

When the proponents of Ann Arbor Props C & D describes the most diverse Council in 200 years as “just looks” and suggests they are “owned,” you realize why the Ann Arbor NAACP rejected the measures, too. #a2council 1/2

Meanwhile, diverse CMs (racially, socioeconomically, immigrant, 1st gen college grads, majority women) are actively working to preserve democracy. Dems get it done! 2/2 youtube.com/shorts/fZE6u_UOE…
