Hey, I stopped drinking altogether when I realized how much bad stuff I was seeing connected to alcohol. Sitting in court really opened my eyes. Case after case — domestic violence, child abuse, theft, fighting, Grape— alcohol kept showing up somewhere in the story. And I thought, damn… what would happen if I just never drank again? So I stopped. Over three years later, LIFE IS AWESOME. No more waking up in pain. No more waking up next to ugly people. 😂 No more toxic relationships. And narcissists REALLY don’t like sober Tiffany because I don’t feed into the mess anymore. It’s actually funny how fast a sober mind will run a toxic soul right up out of your life. I really wonder what would happen if everybody stopped drinking for just six weeks. How many arguments wouldn’t happen? How many bad decisions wouldn’t get made? How many people wouldn’t end up in court? I can only speak for me, but giving up alcohol gave me clarity. Over three years with no alcohol, and I can see my dreams clearer than ever. And now I actually believe I’m going to make every damn one of them come true. Any Questions?!?

My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is not the reason we’re in an illegal war. My name is not the reason you can’t afford your healthcare. My name is not the reason that you can’t afford your rent or your insurance.

One interesting detail of Donavan McKinney's general election matchup is that his Republican opponent, Taras Nykoriak, 10 years ago was sentenced to 16 months in prison for stealing U.S. savings bonds from a church. michiganchronicle.com/donava…

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time. If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.

Voters' unfamiliarity with Michigan's worsening performance in some key areas — including education and income — creates a serious hurdle for leaders seeking solutions to the problems facing the state, the Detroit chamber argued. detroitnews.com/story/news/p… via @detroitnews

Bruh, Karen McDonald and Dana Nessel trying to snatch back an endorsement from a Jewish man, because the lobby got mad?😭 This is untenable. It's not enough to win the convention; y'all have got to punish electeds allied and associated with this suicidal wing of the party.
Karen McDonald, backed by pro-Israel donors/the establishment, lost to progressive, pro-Pal candidate Eli Savit in the Mich atty general primary by a nearly 2-1 margin and is now calling into question the results. Seems obv what’s going on here

Fraudsters can sound very convincing but remember that no legitimate business or government agency will demand payments through gift cards. If they do, it’s a scam. Never share personal information or send money in response to these tactics. wilx.com/2026/04/21/ag-nesse…

Here at Wayne State University in Detroit at an event for U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Young people here tell me his successful weekend at the Michigan Democratic Party convention, where his supporters made the biggest presence, has reframed the Democratic primary race.
