- Reposted by Annie SomervilleDid a thing here in my low-density city of Ann Arbor. Thanks for coming out and hearing me speak to how being neighborly can be anti-racist work, and how when we oppose density we oppose people we should know and care about.
- For many reasons, Avalon Housing's new 206 N. Washington project in Ypsilanti City means so much to me and our entire community.
- This project was born when our former County Treasurer, Catherine McClary, advocated for the city council to purchase this property for redevelopment in 2019. Another moment in time that proves our commitment to housing access is a team sport. 🏠 ❤️
- Celebrated another year of Parkridge Summer Camp! The kids taught us that the best way to save money is to not spend it, LOL, and that math ain't scary.
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleI’ve known Commissioner @anniesomerville.bsky.social for years, first as a legislative chief of staff then taking that knowledge and drive into her work on the commission as one of the foremost champions of smart housing policy at the county level here in Michigan.
- The Washtenaw County Juneteenth Flag Raising Ceremony! 💙❤️
- The cat's out of the bag! I am so grateful for the opportunity to expand emergency housing for families in Washtenaw County!
- A huge thank you to Alpha House, Trinity Health, and especially to State Senator Jeff Irwin, for securing a $1 million grant for Washtenaw County in the state budget last year. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...
- Side note: the headline says Ann Arbor but this will actually be east of 23 in Superior Township! 🏠 ❤️
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleRight here in Washtenaw County people are standing up and speaking out. How have you fought the Trump regime today?

- Raise your hand if you started sobbing during the acceptance speech for No Other Land for best documentary film. 🙌😭
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleFAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA. There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleTrump's threat to freeze federal funds is reckless, illegal, and damaging. youtu.be/9iHY43DFyqc?...
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleIf this all seems confusing and poorly planned, that's because it is. The Trump administration doesn't care about the Americans who will be hurt. To them, that's the cost of doing business to score political points.
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleThe Constitution is clear that Trump cannot freeze this funding passed by Congress. This illegal scheme undermines Congress’s power of the purse and is a blatant attack on our system of checks and balances. So much for the party of law and order.
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleSo it turns out government grant funding is actually very critical for public safety, protecting our environment, the health & well-being of Americans, our neighborhoods, making sure people have food, job programs, infrastructure and a whole lot more. You know, basic functioning of our society.
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleNow, Trump wants to raise the price of your coffee (and more). Another Trump temper tantrum and another tax increase for Americans.

- Reposted by Annie SomervilleThe Inspector General Act of 1978 was a key anti-corruption policy passed by Democrats. Trump is trying to eliminate honest inspector generals to make it easier for him and his donors to steal from the American people.
- Are we using bluesky to spam post our pets like we do on Instagram?
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleThe Michigan Senate just passed a resolution authorizing legal action against the House Speaker for violating the Michigan Constitution. By holding back these bills, the Republicans not only violate our Constitution, they also raise costs for hundreds of thousands of families in Michigan.
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleRepublicans are trying to turn back the clock to the 50's... the 1850's.
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleIn Lansing, Republicans are still holding up 9 bills that already passed the House and Senate. They should be on the Governor's desk. This is unconstitutional & illegal. These bills reduce costs for teachers, improve benefits for corrections officers, and more: www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleMichigan Republicans are starting out 2025 by attacking teachers, firefighters, police officers, corrections officers, and every public employee. They are holding back bills to lower healthcare costs, allow COs to get a pension, and more. The Speaker doesn't get to veto bills already passed.
- Reposted by Annie SomervilleTry and keep up!
- Hi 👋 I'm new here. I'm a local and state gov't nerd. I'll mostly be sharing all things #Ypsilanti. Fun Ypsilanti fact: we were once home to the Detroit Lions training site: aadl.org/ypsigleaning... Happy Thanksgiving & and let's go Lions! 💙🏈 @detroitlions.bsky.social
