Antisemitism has no place in Michigan or anywhere. Grateful for courage of those who protected the children and swift response of law enforcement.

January 16, 2016. Standing with @karenaboutflint and @RevJJackson as a federal emergency was declared for Flint. A public health crisis. A civil rights moment. Community truth forcing national action. Still serving for a government that works for all of us. #2016isthenew2026

A month ago, I issued a release warning that ICE raids put children in harm’s way & called for support of MI legislation to rein in dangerous immigration enforcement practices. This was foreseeable. No one should praise or protect masked ICE agents engaging in lawless behavior.

“For people who go through the trouble of manipulating a photo of a Black woman to make her look darker and menacing, inflating and mischaracterizing the facts is par for the course,” he wrote. Read here 👉🏾 bit.ly/49ralO2

A child is without their mom bc of aggressive, fear-driven enforcement. That isn’t public safety. It’s MAGA policies treating people as threats, undermining due process, erasure of dignity. Public safety must never cost human life. Ever. We owe this family truth, accountability.

This endorsement from Dan Soza means a lot to me. Our fathers worked together at Delta College to open doors for Black and Latino students, a legacy of access and opportunity that still guides my work today. I’m grateful for Dan’s trust and leadership.

Let’s cut through the noise: Members of the GOP and some media voices are spreading fear and misinformation about Michigan’s proposed updates to Michigan’s health education standards. Please join me in putting FACTS over FEAR. Kids over politics.

It’s official! I had the honor, with Board Secretary Dr. Judith Pritchett, of signing the contract to welcome Dr. @DrMaleyko as Michigan’s next State Superintendent. This is what real leadership looks like. A bipartisan board putting kids first.
