Anderson’s most famous natives - Chadwick Boseman and James “Radio” Kennedy - have died within months. We remember Boseman as a driven young man, basketball player, a reader, a talent for the ages. And an inspiration to the world, from our little city. google.com/amp/s/amp.gree…

Civil forfeiture today can be traced back to pirates, privateers, the American Revolution, bootleggers, mafia dons and, more recently, changes in the 80s that allowed local departments to keep more money. 16/16 #TAKEN greenvilleonline.com/in-depth/news/…

We have civil forfeiture thanks to pirates, bootleggers and mafia dons. The weird history of forfeiture and how Americans went from being inspired to revolt over forfeitures to it's use today as a common tool for police. 1/16 greenvilleonline.com/in-depth/news/…

A hit dog hollers, is basically how Ingham County responded after they approved a resolution saying they welcome (but not sanctuary) immigrants. Sent out to 82 counties. One county took it as a call-out to them specifically. lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/loc…

My Cousin Vinny has the best courtroom portrayal, so accurate it is taught in law schools. Christmas Vacation is Cousin Vinny for Christmas tree farmers. Bring the saw Measure twice Water the tree Cats *shakes head* Did you plug it in?

It’s called ‘Holy Cross’ but is it religious? That’s the question. The group’s board says yes: Here’s our LGBTQ+ policy, no more Pride events. CEO says they’re not and saying they are that could jeopardize millions in government contracts. He was fired. lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/loc…

No more going to Pride events, charity’s board says. The CEO says that - and the board’s religious push - could jeopardize millions in government contracts and could mean people won’t want to come to their shelters. lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/loc…

Newsrooms: Trump takes office in 104 days. If you haven't started scouting for a good religion reporter yet, then you're already behind on one of the biggest stories of the next decade.

Trump voters in Greater Lansing say they expect lower gas prices and inflation, Harris voters are looking for a silver lining. I spoke to seven people yesterday: it’s the day after the election, what are you thinking? lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/pol…

Can confirm: the 2024 election was the highest turnout election in Michigan's history. Total votes cast were over 5.67 million, or 79% (!) of our active voters. Unofficial results from all 83 Michigan counties now available at mvic.sos.state.mi.us/votehistory/In…
