I genuinely don't think I've ever seen those in Michigan, but also I'm not looking at bottom shelf whiskey. And I feel (hope?) like folks would catch on that that was nonsense and avoid lol.

Amazing.

The entire population of Detroit and Dearborn combined displaced in under 2 weeks. And probably more since I last did the math on that off the stats I had. Sigh.

A collection of 9 anti-ICE or adjacent signs including signs that read “Stop Killing My Neighbors” and “Power to the People”
A collection of 9 anti-ICE or related signs including signs that read “If masked men raiding businesses in broad daylight doesn’t ring alarms you’re already on the wrong side” and “ICE is slipping, Keep going”

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #11

Michigan community remembers American killed in Lebanon by Israeli strike Kamel Jawad was killed on October 1 while volunteering in his hometown of Nabatieh, said his family.

I'm not disagreeing, at all. The war criminals and cheerleaders can all go to so much hell.

Just remembering that we've supported killings by Israel in Lebanon for awhile now. And Lebanon doesn't get talked about much by most, even when a Michigander is killed.

And no child's life and safety and security and happiness is worth more than another.

No matter where they're born, where they live, what their religion is.

Again, it is not an excuse. But as a country we sure do seem to value some far more than others. And that's just so incredibly wrong.

Just sending my love to everyone going through it right now. And holding out hope for humanity to be better. Because this can't be it.

Antisemitism is not the answer.
Islamaphobia is not the answer.
Everyone deserves to worship in peace, and all children should be protected to grow old in peace.

Tweet screenshot 

NEWS: The man who rammed his explosives-laden truck into a Michigan synagogue today was named Ayman Ghazaleh, according to a source familiar with the situation. Ghazaleh posted photos overnight of his family members, including young children, who were killed in a recent Israeli attack on the town of Mashghara, Lebanon. This is a developing story.

Photos of a young girl and boy happy giving a thumbs up to the camera Detroit News, Temple Israel synagogue suspect's family recently killed in air strike

Apparently the man who rammed his car into the West Bloomfield synagogue lost his two kids in Lebanon to an Israeli air strike.

Synagogues are not Israel. That is not an excuse. Just absolutely horrible and heartbreaking. This situation should never have happened. These kids should still be alive.

FYI, Invest In MI Kids is pausing their signature collection & aiming for 2028.

Amazing folks fought very hard for this & it's not over yet! I'm proud to have gotten the signatures I did, and will pick up my clipboard again.

We can get this on the ballot and end the fucking corporate conflict of interest control of OUR electeds. If you care about that (you should), time to step up.

Our biggest sig collection day was No Kings 2. There are exactly 100 No Kings 3 events in MI rn. We need folks everywhere.

You're folks. ❤️

Trump Administration Will Collect Social Media Handles from Legal Immigrants and U.S. Citizens The new requirement poses serious threats to free speech and privacy rights.

The 3 million-plus people applying for immigration status changes will now be required to provide the government with their social media handles. This expansive new requirement poses a serious threat to constitutional rights.
