This picture of Hutch may go unnoticed by some, but pay attention to the Latin words on his shirt, “Resurget Cineribus” — To Rise from the ashes.
History Lesson:
For those who may find this puzzling, in 1805, the entire city of Detroit burned to the ground, leaving only one building standing. In the aftermath, Territorial Judge Augustus Woodward devised a street plan modeled after Washington, D.C. The layout mirrored the design of the nation’s capital, featuring diagonal streets radiating like the spokes of a wheel.
On the Detroit City Flag, the inscription reads, “Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus,” translating to “We hope for better things; it will arise from the ashes.” The City of Detroit literally rose from the ashes, symbolizing rebirth and resilience.
The city motto and the sports teams share a profound connection, especially in recent years with the consistent rebuilding efforts of each team. The Lions embody the essence of the motto, “Rise from ashes.” Just three years ago, the Detroit Lions had a first-year coach, an underrated quarterback, and a dismal 3-13-1 record. Today, they stand just one game away from a Super Bowl appearance.
So when the nation wonders why this Lions’ journey is so extraordinary, it’s because it mirrors the unique spirit of Detroit. Through unwavering determination and hard work, we rebuild until the product is perfected. Throughout history, there have been moments when Detroit moved the world, and now, once again, the city and its football team rise from the ashes to inspire us all.

It’s that time again, please repost this. Chevy gives the ACS $5 for every retweet. My record is 14k. Last year only 2k. We have to get to 10k this year. It takes 2 seconds. If I tell you that those 2 seconds could save a life you would do it. Please help. #wedrivefor

The same financial media that allowed shorts free reign to bash stocks to hell for years are now calling folks with $1,000 in a #RobinHood account a cartel.
Trying to illicit sympathy for folks who made billion crushing stocks and pay the lowest taxes rates isn't going to work
So I can go into a retail store, walk around for two hours, and touch every single shirt on the rack... Yet I can’t go into a restaurant and sit 6 feet apart and have a meal?
Destroying thousands of jobs. Why is Michigan doing this when our bordering states aren’t?
