DTE outage map reporting 10k out in Ann Arbor area, 15k out in the Detroit area. Lansing predictably has 0 outages.
We can’t keep living like this, we need electricity in the winter.

DTE spends nearly the same amount for marketing as they do for equipment upgrades. As a for-profit monopoly with poor oversight from the governor and the MPSC, it’s no wonder they care more about their shareholders and executive pay than they do customers.
Just want to say to anyone that has a loved one in harms way or has lost a pet because of @DTE_Energy’s reckless greed, I will stop at nothing to make sure that they are held accountable. This will not be forgotten.

Conspiracy theory: the new @DTE_Energy outage map is designed to make it harder to take a screen shot showing the extent of current outages.
Compare the current map, with this archival map from Nov. 24, 2014.
ALT The current DTE outage map. Outages are now shown as icons on the map rather than polygons showing the extent of the outage.

.@DTE_Energy wants to increase the rates of over 2 million Michigan residents by 8.8%.
This is the time for us to make our voices heard. While DTE is busy paying out their shareholders, our communities are suffering.

Thank you to State Rep. Yousef Rabhi for reading to Pittsfield Penguins today. The best part was when my 3rd grader, Yousef, met his state representative with the same name as his! What an unforgettable moment for Yousef! 😊 📚 #marchisreadingmonth
Yesterday I submitted 54 bills and a House Joint Resolution to strike all remaining laws on the books in MI banning same-sex marriage and amending dozens of statutes which still contain gendered marital references. 27 of my Dem colleagues joined me as bill sponsors in the package
The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling today will expand workplace protections for millions of LGBTQ workers in states like Michigan who deserve to work with dignity as their authentic selves.

We must end “Qualified Immunity” for law enforcement immediately. The police must be held accountable for their actions. They are not above the law.
The deep injustice of a society which forces working families to choose between death and destitution is criminal. We must do better!

There are few willing to stand against a strong tide when it is right. Few who have the moral fortitude to take up a righteous fight that is unpopular. Few whose convictions compel them to speak with the voice of giants through a blistering headwind. Isaac, you will be missed.
