Judge Finds Cause to Hold Trump Admin In Contempt Over Alien Enemies Act Removals Read more here.

Checks and balances exist for a reason — the Trump administration is not above the courts.

Fair and Just Prosecution Urges Supreme Court: Don’t Let Technicalities Keep People Behind Bars - Fair and Just Prosecution Today, Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP) and four other organizations submitted an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in Bowe v.

How Trump's executive orders have forced these Michiganders to change Three Michigan transgender residents and people who love them talk about how Trump's decisions have changed their lives.

This is what a Fascist Government Looks Like. Target the most vulnerable while you undermine the whole.

Glad to see the Detroit Free Press lifting the voices, struggles and stories of the MI trans community pushing back against erasure. We are all in this together.

This Is Why Dictatorships Fail The authors of the Constitution separated powers for a reason.

“This is what arbitrary, absolute power looks like. And this is why the men who wrote the Constitution never wanted anyone to have it.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Florida teacher loses job for calling student by preferred name It’s the first known dismissal stemming from the conservative campaign to limit schools' recognition of transgender identity.

No teacher should lose their job for treating trans students with dignity and respect.

Trump's Tariffs and DOGE Will Set Off a Crime Wave | Opinion When schools, hospitals, shelters, libraries, and public safety agencies lose funding, it doesn't just make life harder. It makes communities less safe.

Seems like ICE thinks it’s “1984” - and they serve Big Orange Brother. George Orwell is rolling in his grave.

"Someone says oh my God, we have wrongfully deported somebody and they are in prison in a foreign country, what should we do about it? And the adult in the room is not saying 'get that person back here immediately.'"

@weissmann11.bsky.social talks cruelty and lawlessness with @timmiller.bsky.social

We must stop this!! And keep Schumer from his usual craven negotiation failures.

Great news! The MI Supreme Court rightly recognized what decades of research show: 19- & 20-year-olds share the same hallmarks of youth as teens — less impulse control, developing brains & greater capacity for change.

Mandatory LWOP ignores that reality. #SecondChances

We stand with our incredible ally @vera.org because we care about justice and public safety! The Trump administration is destroying both for its political agenda.

My home state Michigan stands up for justice and science!! The brain science tells us that young adults and late teens are different - and let’s be real - every adult knows that already.

#ProtectVotingRights! Vote NO on the SAVE Act!!

3/ When people can’t afford essentials—and support systems like housing, mental health care, and education are stripped away—desperation rises. And with it, so does crime.

1/ “By crashing the economy, gutting social services, and weaponizing the government, the administration is setting the stage for a new era of chaos—one in which public safety decreases, trust in democracy declines, and working families are left more vulnerable than ever.”

How Florida is telling highway troopers to hold, detain immigrants wanted… | Amy Fettig This internal memo from the State Police in Florida is deeply alarming - both as a legal and public safety matter. Local law enforcement shouldn’t be using scarce resources to do the bidding of the fe...

State police should not be doing the bidding of ICE or the federal government - they are supposed to be protecting community safety - not spending tax payer dollars on cruel, inhumane political stunts.

If you've never been to a protest, here's your chance to be part of the largest, most historic protest of your lifetime. Protest to save democracy. See you April 5th at the Michigan Capitol or Washington DC.

DA Diana Becton's Neighborhood Restorative Partnership program trains residents in restorative practices to help resolve low-level cases in their neighborhoods. The experience centers the victim, promotes healing and accountability, and connects those involved to the resources they need.

Amen!!!

Trump ‘couldn’t care less’ if cars get pricey because of his tariffs - Because we pay for his Chauffeurs and Private Jets! He doesn’t have to worry that his car won’t start or that he needs to get a ride to work.

This hack doesn’t care about us.

Proud of journalists & outlets still standing up to power in the face of threats while Big Law, corporations, and other institutions capitulate:

Wired, Mother Jones, Rolling Stone, Miami Herald, Techdirt, Marisa Kabas, the Unpoulist, ProPublica, MSNBC.

1/ Each year, police conduct 20M+ traffic stops—most for minor issues that don’t improve safety. These stops disproportionately target Black and low-income drivers and erode trust. It’s time for a smarter approach.

What we are seeing is the Nazi Playbook - plain and simple. And we all know how that ended. Stand up now before it’s too late.
