Tech Capitalists Don’t Care About Humans. Literally. It’s not just a figure of speech to say tech titans are indifferent to humanity. From Peter Thiel to Elon Musk, many are adherents of a worldview that envisions humans being replaced by digital post-h...

Tech billionaires funding Trump don't just want power, they want to replace us with AI.

Musk & Thiel openly embrace human extinction ideologies, but we can grab the wheel through civic action & global tech regulation.

Slotkin Leads Colleagues to Introduce Bill to Rein in Abuse of National Guard in Domestic DeploymentsΒ  - Senator Elissa Slotkin Slotkin Introduces No Troops in Our Streets ActΒ  WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) recently introduced legislation, theΒ No Troops in Our Streets Act, to put limits on the Trump Adm...

Trump deployed 7,000 troops to American cities, that's authoritarian intimidation not law enforcement.

Senator Slotkin's new bill gives Congress power to stop these military deployments.

Thank Slotkin. Contact your senators. Defend democracy.

β˜• Starbucks baristas across 40+ cities just launched what could be the largest strike in company history.

They're asking for livable wages, adequate staffing, and enough hours to qualify for benefits.

Show solidarity: skip #Starbucks, support local coffee instead! ✊

Voters Not Politicians – We fight and win for Michigan voters! Voters Not Politicians inspired a voter-led, pro-democracy political reform movement in Michigan. Our thousands of volunteers are engaged, empowered, and committed to do more to restore political power back to the people.

January 6th funder Richard Uihlein just spent $3.5M to trick Michigan voters into signing away voting rights.

Say NO to his "Americans for Citizen Voting" petition which would create massive voting barriers for elderly & disabled Michiganders.

Less than 24-hours since we announced this Fund Drive at our monthly meeting, and we've already raised over $900 for the Grace Episcopal Food Pantry in Traverse City!

Our initial goal was $1000... think we can do that by the end of the day?

THANK YOU #TRAVERSECITY!

ICE's Mobile Fortify facial scan policy claims you can't refuse, and that they are storing citizen photos for 15 yrs. 🀯

This mandatory, warrantless collection violates your Fourth Amendment rights. Your privacy is at stake. Get educated and know your rights!

White House fires entire commission that reviews designs for federal buildings The White House has fired all six members of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, the independent federal agency that reviews design plans for monuments, memorials, coins and federal buildings.

Why follow the rules when you can just destroy all the systems that give those rules meaning? This isn't governance, this is disassembly. www.npr.org/2025/10/29/n...

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

More than 170 US Citizens have been detained by ICE, more than 20 held over a day without a call or lawyer, & about 130 arrested, yet those cases are often dropped due to a lack of evidence.

ICE endangers every single one of us and that's everybody's problem.

Safeguard Incarcerated Journalists Defending press freedom for the next generation

The private detention centers ICE contracts with to hold thousands of people, including journalists, shouldn’t be off-limits to FOIA requests, but they are.

Use the @freedom.press action center to tell your member of Congress: FOIA should apply to private facilities.
