Join me in donating to the ACLU!

We MUST pass legislation to make it illegal for members of Congress to trade stocks. Dems are also responsible for this and it has to stop.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Nothing in the law allows the President to defund NPR or PBS. And yet... here we are 🙃 🙃. If u have time, show your support for public media by sending an email to your House Rep here: protectmypublicmedia.org

Ono decamping to DeSantis, like the coward we all knew him to be news.ufl.edu/2025/05/anno...

😩

Who’s the “lonely M” now university or michigan, eh?

"The federal government has argued in court filings that the lawsuits should be dismissed because terminating a student’s SEVIS record doesn’t mean their visa is revoked or constitute a final action." OMG this is so stupid and unhinged! #HigherEd #ACLU www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...

Pics or it didn’t happen!

Saw all the smoke in the distance when we went for an afternoon walk down to the Detroit river today. Couldn’t quite tell if it was crazy rainfall in a concentrated area or a factory on fire or what! #SquirrelIsland #ForestFire #Detroit

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

This is why I give money to the ACLU, so they can sue the gov’t and get answers, but boyyyy what a doozy of a response: “There are no legal consequences to the termination of a SEVIS record.” Like, they didn’t terminate the visa, just the record of a visa!? theintercept.com/2025/04/17/i...

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

😑

Primary Everyone Always! It’s the only way to properly test the democratic process and ensure voters have a choice. And it’s not actually about “ousting old politicians” it’s about forcing them to hafta argue their case and convince voters to reup on them www.axios.com/2025/04/18/h...

Am I missing something? Like, did the MI House seriously pass a School Omnibus Budget that included ZERO dollars for Higher Ed & Community Colleges?! This is from over a month ago, but somebody mentioned this recently & I was like, that can't be right? #MILeg #Michigan #Budget #HigherEd #MISchools

I wish my employer, University of Michigan, wasn’t one of the ones doing the bad thing and complying in advance (w/ glee IMHO).

We gotta stop complying in advance!!! #UMich #GoBlue
