We look at an article from MLive describing the plummet in teacher pay in Michigan over the last 30 years and how Kalamazoo city commissioners are skeptical over a ballot initiative that will make the city assemble a 'Healthcare Action Committee.' Residents in Gary have been without power for two weeks. We discuss the scale of the disaster, the systemic racism and classism it represents, and how one of the biggest natural disaster fumbles since Hurricane Katrina is getting little media attention. We talk about Jocelyn Benson and Winnie Brinks' run for governor and how both their platform and their donor roster promises more of the same. However, if you judge her only on conservative attack ads, Benson is an ANTIFA terrorist who once worked with the radical outfit (checks notes) the Southern Poverty Law Center? We also look at the senate race and how Mike Rodgers is trying to have it both ways with AIPAC- trying to keep their presence out of the race but keeping their money in. Nazi dork Jake Lang tried to disrupt Dearborn last week and was met with pushback from both local residents and even some conservative Michiganders who are telling their ideological fellows "don't believe the hype." We close with several quick hits on topics ranging from the WNBA to DTE's attempt to stop Ann Arbor from moving forward with a municipally controlled power utility. 02:25- 15:30 Teacher Pay in Michigan Among Lowest in the Nation 16:45- 27:25 Kzoo City Commission Comments on Ballot Proposal to Set Up Healthcare Action Committee 28:30- 48:00 Powerless in Gary 50:00- 1:13:30 Benson for Governor: Boring Corporate Democrat or Antifa Terrorist? 1:13:30- 1:25:00 Rodgers Doesn't Want AIPAC's Endorsement (But He Will Take Their Paper) 1:25:00- 1:39:25 Nazi Dork Jake Lang Disrupts Dearborn, Gets Clocked by Friendly Neighborhood Antifascist 1:39:30- 1:52:00 Quick Hits: WNBA, KPL Union Demands Higher Wages, DTE vs. Ann Arbor, National Association of Black Journalists SOURCES/ FURTHER READING Michigan teacher pay down 29% since 1995, creating ‘uphill battle’ for schools, study says https://www.mlive.com/education/2026/08/michigan-teacher-pay-down-29-since-1995-creating-uphill-battle-for-schools-study-says.html ‘I am 100% opposed’: Kalamazoo leaders skeptical of cryptic proposal on Nov. 3 ballot https://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/2026/08/i-am-100-opposed-kalamazoo-leaders-skeptical-of-cryptic-proposal-on-nov-3-ballot.html Gary residents say 2 weeks without electricity are like 'end times' https://www.indystar.com/story/news/environment/2026/08/24/thousands-hoosiers-no-electricity-nipsco-power-outage-northwest-indiana-storms/91430913007/ Power of the People - Gary Mutual Aid Disaster Relief Solidarity Response https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/b11285a05b6e32036b17c4b58522b50761ecb6d1 Lots of celebration on socials about the Benson/Brinks ticket but what does it actually mean for working families in Michigan https://griid.org/2026/08/20/lots-of-celebration-on-socials-about-the-benson-brinks-ticket-but-what-does-it-actually-mean-for-working-families-in-michigan/ El-Sayed’s GOP Opponent Attended 3 AIPAC-Hosted Fundraisers in 1 Day https://truthout.org/articles/el-sayeds-gop-opponent-attended-3-aipac-hosted-fundraisers-in-1-day/ A KPL union asks residents to support its campaign for higher wages at a trustees meeting https://www.wmuk.org/wmuk-news/2026-08-20/a-kpl-union-asks-residents-to-support-its-campaign-for-higher-wages-at-a-trustees-meeting DTE-funded group sues Ann Arbor after it approves November ballot question for city-owned utility https://michiganadvance.com/2026/08/17/dte-funded-group-sues-ann-arbor-after-it-approves-november-ballot-question-for-city-owned-utility/
