I'm Anna and I'm currently in Detroit by way of Maine, but Chicago's my home. I find it difficult to stay in one place too long. I enjoy people watching, being adrift, rugby, water polo, my friends and family, being ridiculously nerdy, peppermint hot chocolate, getting the chance to speak Arabic or French, traveling, and the feeling of falling.

Life is short and the world is wide, so buvons bien, drink well.

Rachel Maddow on Emergency Financial Manger law in Michgan, courtesy of Gov. Rick Snyder and Republic state congress.

In summary: The EFM (currently there are positions in Detroit and Inkster) supersedes any elected officials in that city. Because Michigan is so severely segregated, this means that 50% of blacks in the state cannot assume that their vote has in any way counted because their elected officials can easily be superseded. That shit cray.
