ANN ARBOR, MI Students, faculty and staff at the University of Michigan gathered at Weiser Hall Saturday afternoon to hold a mock renaming of the building in response to inflammatory comments recently made by Regent Ron Weiser.
Community members renamed the building the “Weiser Center for Voter Suppression, Political Assassination and Witch Burning.” The ceremony included yard signs covering the original building sign and spray-painted stencils with the “new name.”
“When you have a regent who refers to Michigan’s leadership as ‘three witches,’ it’s disgusting and deplorable,” said UM junior Sam Burnstein. “We’re just organizing to call for his resignation because, obviously what they did at the regents meeting was the most that they could do.”

The Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) has issued its response to those demanding that they pull their Tour Championship from Georgia due to the state’s recently passed voter reform bill.
And their response is, they aren’t going anywhere.
In their statement, the PGA emphasized its commitment to the local businesses and charities that will benefit from the Tour Championship being played in Atlanta.
“The Tour Championship’s commitment to East Lake has helped our partners transform distressed neighborhoods into healthy and thriving ones, which is a key to ending the cycle of intergenerational poverty,” the statement read. “The charitable and economic benefits that have led to these substantial changes would not continue if we simply walked away from those in need.”

On Friday, Major League Baseball decided to take its All-Star Game away from Atlanta’s Truist Park in response to the state’s new voter integrity law.
Liberal supporters exploded with delight after the MLB announcement.
MLB released its statement after one p.m. on Friday:

Unsurprisingly, the baseball player’s union supported the move. After all, they had already been pushing for it.
