#Ontario will cut off US from power 'with a smile on my face,' Premier Doug Ford says

“They rely on our energy, they need to feel the pain," Ford said on cutting Ontario electricity exports to US.”

“The US is a major customer for Canadian electricity, with all American power grids — with the exception of Texas — interconnected with Canadian provinces.

#NewYork, #Michigan and #Minnesota are Ontario’s three biggest customers of power.”

#DanaNessel also launched a bad-faith smear campaign against fellow #Democrat #RashidaTlaib in September 2024, just as absentee ballots were being sent out. She probably helped Trump win the state.

Hundreds turn out at #Michigan Capitol rally tied to national #AntiTrump movement

by Ken Palmer, February 5, 2025

"Speakers generally did not identify themselves as part of a particular political organization, but they included State Sen. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield, who spoke of protecting #LGBTQ rights, and Abdul El-Sayed, director of the Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services, who said he was acting in a personal capacity.

"'(It's) about damn time that we showed up, stood up and took our goverment back,' said El-Sayed, who railed against Trump's actions to freeze federal money for things such as #HealthCenters, #MentalHealthServices and the #WIC program, or Special Supplmental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.

"Another speaker urged protestors to 'flood the phone lines' of elected officials to register their concerns.

"'A lot of us are here because we understand the danger we are facing, and we know that today is the time to act,' she said. 'We will not sit on the sidelines and watch as our rights are ripped way and the billionnaires dismantle our democracy, stripping it for parts.'"

"Last week, EFF, along with the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan, ACLU, and ACLU of Michigan, filed an amicus brief in People v. Carson in the Supreme Court of Michigan, challenging the constitutionality of the search warrant of Mr. Carson's smart phone.

In this case, Mr. Carson was arrested for stealing money from his neighbor's safe with a co-conspirator. A few months later, law enforcement applied for a search warrant for Mr. Carson's cell phone. The search warrant enumerated the claims that formed the basis for Mr. Carson's arrest, but the only mention of a cell phone was a law enforcement officer's general assertion that phones are communication devices often used in the commission of crimes. A warrant was issued which allowed the search of the entirety of Mr. Carson's smart phone, with no temporal or category limits on the data to be searched. Evidence found on the phone was then used to convict Mr. Carson.

On appeal, the Court of Appeals made a number of rulings in favor of Mr. Carson, including that evidence from the phone should not have been admitted because the search warrant lacked particularity and was unconstitutional. The government's appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court was accepted and we filed an amicus brief."

This is the latest I've been able to find on #NathanMahoney, a possible second #LuigiMangione who stabbed a CEO in #Michigan.

Still no word on his motives here.

Something cheerful... something cheerful.... 🤔 Oh! I know. How about a pic of the boys chasing balls into the water last July-ish? Best I remember it was 80-something degrees when this was taken. I could go for a dose of that! (If you look closely you can see one of the blue Orbee balls sailing against the trees.)

Two sable German Shepherds leap through shallow water chasing toys just thrown by a woman standing on the beach. The  shoreline is extremely rocky and progresses quickly into heavy tree growth.


Hoax bomb threats, many of which appeared to originate from Russian email domains, were directed on Tuesday at polling locations in five battleground states - #Georgia, #Michigan, #Arizona, #Wisconsin and #Pennsylvania - as Election Day voting was underway, the #FBI said.

"None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far," the FBI said in a statement, adding that election integrity was among the bureau's highest priorities.

"Standing next to her hastily packed suitcase in Michigan’s Macomb County Wednesday night, Tyra Muldrow had a bad feeling in her gut.

“I have this eerie feeling that I need to get the hell up out of there,” says Muldrow, a 20-year-old Black woman from Florida. She was in Michigan as a door knocker, hired by a subcontractor for Elon Musk’s America PAC operation to turn out the vote for Donald Trump in the heavily contested working-class suburbs of Detroit.

Muldrow and the rest of her canvassing group of roughly a dozen people had just been fired en masse, after WIRED reported that they had been tricked and threatened as part of Musk’s get-out-the-vote effort. Speaking publicly for the first time about her ordeal, Muldrow says that the canvassers in her group were fired with little explanation beyond a complaint that someone had spoken with the press. Many, including her, were still owed money. Muldrow had to find her own way home; others are still stranded in Michigan."

"Arab and #MuslimAmericans in the state of Michigan are grappling with a critical choice this election. Nearly 400,000 #ArabAmericans in the state were instrumental in delivering #Michigan to elect Joe #Biden in 2020. This time, however, many feel betrayed by his administration’s support for Israel’s wars in #Gaza and #Lebanon."

Harris opens her speech in Lansing, Michigan, with a shout out to Arab-Americans, civilians in Gaza and Lebanon and a vow to try to end the war. "I am not looking to score political points, I'm looking to make progress" Harris says. "I don't believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. In fact, I'll give them a seat at the table." #us #usa #news #minimarketonlineltd #minimarket #America #SaveAmerica #kamalaharris #Harris #Kamala #HarrisWalz #Harris2024 #Michigan #lansing #gaza #arab


@palestine "inaction"!!! It's active backing up the #genocide for over a year now. Not only in #Michigan, but #Muslim and #Arab voters all over #America will vote for #JillStein in the #Election2024

"Declines" is a polite way of saying "Refuses".

This could likely swing #Michigan for Trump."

Angela Benander, a spox for the #Michigan SoS’s office, said, “It speaks to the efforts that we are not going to tolerate any attempts to circumvent the #law.”

Election ofcls across the country are worried about effectively an insider threat—that elected ofcls steeped in #Trump #disinformation could disrupt the process.

Already in MI, the state has taken over supervision of elections in Shelby Twp, where a #Republican clerk was charged w/a #felony for his role in the 2020 #FakeElectors scheme.


In #Michigan, hand-counting is against the #law…. Experts believe voting machines are more reliable & faster than hand counts. Jonathan Brater, MI’s elections dir, said the clerk refused an order from the MI secretary of state to follow proper procedures.

Brater ordered Schierkolk & his deputy hand their #election duties to other ofcls “in order to ensure public trust & confidence in the integrity & security of elections” & their access to the state voter-roll system was shut off.


2 local #election officials in #Michigan have been removed from overseeing the vote, in a forceful move to keep #Trump-aligned ofcls from trying to subvert election rules.

Tom Schierkolk, the clerk of Rock River Township in MI’s UP, & his deputy, David LaMere, were removed after telling state ofcls that they intended to hand count ballots before sending their tally on for the county canvass….
