The situation happening at the North Lake detention center is extremely concerning. Our immigrant community deserves so much better than this.

Mike Duggan has officially dropped out of this year's gubernatorial race. Here's what we had to say about it.

Mike Duggan has a dirty little secret: He's been getting cozy with the corporations behind the recent push for more data centers. We should all be concerned about this.

ICE doesn't belong in Southeast Michigan, and the lawyers for ICE are no better than the agents themselves. People in Southfield are coming together to demand that landlord Redico cancel a lease agreement to get #ICEOut.

A bad farm bill is worse than not having one at all. Contact Michigan Senators Elissa Slotkin and Gary Peters to tell them to vote NO on the House farm bill.

The U.S. House voted last week to cut food assistance and funnel more money and power to Big Ag. We now need the Senate to vote NO on the House’s farm bill and pass policies that benefit everyone, not wealthy corporations.

Republican Rep. Jack Bergman's chief of staff has a side hustle, and it's raising some significant questions around ethics and transparency. #uscongress #uspolitics #michiganpolitics

It has never been easier for Michigan Republicans to help working families — seriously. Democrats passed pro-worker bills in 2024, but Matt Hall has been stalling them. Tell Matt to cut his power trip short before the Supreme Court does it for him: act.aflcio.org/petitions/repu…

A Michigan town board and its planning commission both rejected the largest data center in the state. Now it's being built anyway. In Saline Township, Michigan, a giant $16 billion OpenAI-Oracle data center was deeply unpopular, but that ultimately didn't matter. After the commission and board voted down the data center, the developer sued and the town settled. Then, construction began. finance.yahoo.com/economy/policy…

The clock is ticking on Line 5 and critical safety questions remain unanswered. PHMSA has never preemptively shut down a pipeline, and waiting is a choice we can’t afford to make in the Great Lakes. #ShutDownLine5 now, and read the report: glbusinessnetwork.com/2026/05/phmsas…

Even cats support Michiganders For Money Out Of Politics! Because monopoly utilities & big government contractors giving $$$ to *our* politicians should be furbidden. ... Anyway! Tinkerbell says to sign the purrtion & volunteer - 1 week left to get MMOP to the November ballot!

An orderly shutdown of Enbridge's Line 5 would not harm energy supplies, but it would uphold Great Lakes protections and honor Tribal sovereignty. How long will we allow the violent path to be chosen instead?

PHMSA, the oversight agency charged with ensuring pipeline safety, has never actually taken a precautionary measure to shut down a pipeline. It’s time for PHMSA to break the pattern and protect our #GreatLakes before a disaster strikes. Full report below. #ShutDownLine5

"If Planned Parenthood of Michigan is forced to close more health centers or scale back services further, that access does not simply shift elsewhere. It disappears, . . .and delayed care that leads to more serious and more costly health issues over time." bit.ly/4t2L0Sp

The US Supreme Court sided with AG Dana Nessel over Enbridge, ruling the case to shut down Enbridge's dangerous Line 5 oil pipeline should be heard in state court. Goes to show that multinational oil companies are not above the law and their delay tactics won't work.
