The fight isn't over for stopping the Line 5 reroute project, but we're glad that a Wisconsin judge ordered a pause on construction in certain areas. #ShutDownLine5 #CleanWater #IndigenousRights

A gentle reminder: Oil volatility, not Michigan policy, drives what we pay at the pump.

A dangerous Enbridge oil tunnel in the heart of the Great Lakes won’t fix that.

Let's call out why Line 5 is allowed to exist more than 20 years past its intended lifespan––corporate greed.

A clean energy future is possible without expensive, dirty fossil fuels. It's time to protect the Great Lakes and #ShutDownLine5.

[Oil & Water Don't Mix @OilWaterDntMix]

Line 5 is a ticking time bomb threatening Great Lakes communities every day, and we need your help to shut it down.

Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now.

Israel has launched 100 airstrikes on Lebanon in 10 minutes.

Striking South Lebanon, Beirut and the Bekaa Valley simultaneously.

This isn’t a ceasefire.

It’s mass bombardment of civilian areas.

The woman who called ICE to report 6 Guatemalans - who nearly finished installing a $10,000 roof - in order to avoid paying them, has been arrested for exploiting immigration status to obtain an economic benefit.

BREAKING: A report from Enbridge submitted to Michigan regulators confirms what we've been suspecting - unsafe conditions, including weak bedrock, high water pressure and dangerous gases beneath the Straits where the company hopes to build an oil tunnel.

Happy Passover to our Jewish neighbors across Michigan's 12th District and beyond. Chag Sameach!

The reports coming out of West Bloomfield are horrifying. I am praying for the safety of everyone at Temple Israel. No one should face violence anywhere, especially in a place of worship.

21 year old #KyleBassinga was found hanging from a tree at Fair Oaks Park in Marietta, GA. Authorities claimed it was suicide but many of us are buying it. Here’s footage Kyle took being stopped by law enforcement before his death. A full investigation needs to happen. I smell a bunch of racist rats! #JusticeForKyleBassinga #DemsUnited

I made this animation in 2020 as an attempt to honor and uplift Black lives stolen by police in Detroit over the years. I know are countless others I didn’t mention but I wanted to honor as many people as I could with my time.🖤🌸

Justice for Da'Quain Johnson

He was brutally extrajudicially murdered by Grand Rapids PD who knocked him off his bike & set a K-9 dog on him mauling his neck. The police shot him through his restrained hands & executed him by shooting a prone man through the back of the head.

[Nurses Against Dick Pics. 🪷🇺🇦 @ClaudetteGGibs1]

Another Black man gunned down by police. Say his name, Da'Quan Johnson.

The war rages on ✊🏾🕊️ RIP Daquain Johnson

The mother of Da'Quain Johnson is speaking out after her son was shot and killed by Grand Rapids, MI police:

“They didn’t just take my baby. They took somebody who loved his community.” (Via @MLive)

“I will f*cking kill you.”

Video shows officers with the Indianapolis police department threatening to kill a black teenage driver. Trevion Taylor, 17, was followed by police after leaving an anti-ICE protest near Warren Central High School.

Minnesota: Echoes of the deadly “Starlight Tours” — migrants released from federal detention and abandoned in subzero temperatures, forced into potentially lethal marches through the cold.
