We Are All Michigan. How COVID-19 & Dam Failures Reveal We Fight For Each Other
It’s certainly been a Spring to remember in Michigan. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the entire nation–and world–with Michigan being one of the worst hit states in the union. As of this writing, Michigan has experienced nearly 53,000 positive COVID-19 cases, and over 5,200 deaths. The pandemic is crushing our working class, small businesses, and…
Left of Lansing Podcast–Episode 28–Republicanism & The Cult
The 28th episode of the LOL Podcast is posted!

Michigan Republicans Want To Feed The Virus To Save Trump
Infections are falling, hospitals are stabilizing, because of what we’ve all done – and must continue to do – together. pic.twitter.com/m2UUeKYF53 — David Coulter (@davidwcoulter) April 19, 2020 I’ve read complaints on social media about not being allowed to paint, or fertilize lawns.

Please, Listen To Rashida Tlaib on The GOTMFV Show!

But while Chris is a fantastic interview, he does an even better job at hosting his own podcast, called The GOTMFV Show.
