🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 [1/2] If you live in West Bloomfield, Orchard Lake, Keego Harbor, or Sylvan Lake, you have the opportunity to protect vital education funding in our community. Vote YES on the @WBSD Sinking Site Replacement Fund Millage by November 4.

Last week, Dr. Jalonne White-Newsome presented key lessons on how we can preserve and uphold our democracy for generations to come. It begins by engaging with your friends and neighbors. #Michigan #wbldems #democracy #westbloomfield

This weekend, over 7 million marched nationwide to defend democracy, declaring NO KINGS ALLOWED. In Michigan, our movement grew stronger, doubling May's turnout in areas like Farmington Hills. We're proud of our members' powerful presence and welcome all to join our movement. #NoKings #Michigan

Michiganders are SUFFERING. People are being detained WITHOUT WARRANTS, the cost of living has INCREASED, and our healthcare costs are going to rise by TRIPLE DIGITS. This is only the beginning of the administration’s LAWLESS actions, and today we made our voices heard through the NO KINGS protest.

#Michigan will have 100+ #NoKings protests. Find a protest here nokings.org.

DEMOCRATS, get your SEXY BACK! Join us tonight @ 6:30 PM for our talk with Dr. Jalonne White-Newsom, former Sr. Dir. for Environmental Justice at the White House and current Associate Professor at UMich. She'll be sharing 3 key actions for us to take in this moment of turbulence.

If the GOP budget passes, more than half a million Michiganders will see their healthcare premiums double or even triple. Democrats are fighting to keep costs stable. What does Bill Huizenga think of protecting Michiganders? "We shouldn't be doing that."

My statement on the Republican shutdown:

I can't support a deal that slashes health care and does nothing to cut costs for Michiganders. My priority is clear: lower costs, affordable health care, a strong workforce, and a government that works for my state.

Last month we were able to chat with @aghoghoedevbie.bsky.social , Michigan’s current Deputy Secretary of State! He’s currently running for Secretary of State, and watch this video to get to know more about him and why he’s running. #wbldems #midems #democrats #election2026 #michigan #democracy

We want to thank Professor Peter Hammer for our last meeting. Especially when navigating the current political landscape, it’s important to look back through history to understand what we can do to preserve and strengthen our multiracial democracy. #michigan #michigandems #politics #westbloomfield

This is the second part of our conversation with Lt. Governor @garlingilchrist.bsky.social . In this video, you'll get to know more about his campaign and vision for Michigan and some of his hobbies! #wbldems #wbdems #midems #democrats #election2026 #michigan #democracy #garlingilchrist

Michigan Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist reports a credible bomb threat was called to his home on Thursday. Law enforcement responded quickly to the incident, he said.

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001. As we honor those who lost loved ones, we also pay tribute to the first responders who rushed to help others 24 years ago.

I'm horrified by the news coming out of Utah about the attack on Charlie Kirk. Political violence has no place in our country. Not now, and not ever. Praying for him and his family.

This is the first part of our conversation with Lt. Governor @garlingilchrist.bsky.social who is running for Governor! Get to know a bit more about him, why he’s running, and what he loves about Michigan. #wbdems #wbldems #westbloomfield #democrats #democracy #michigandems #garlingilchrist

@wbldems.bsky.social Trump is not good for our energy future or our air quality. Neither is Lee Zeldin’s so-called EPA.

As we celebrate Independence Day, it’s also important to remember the core values of democracy and the right to protest. Tomorrow, on July 5th Indivisible is organizing Elbows Up along the Canadian-US border. For details about the protest in Detroit check the following link:

$156M in federal funds for Michigan school programs & educator training are frozen — leaving schools, teachers, & families stuck in the dark. In moments like this, our voices deserve to be heard to empower everyone in our community. Join the WBL Dems to speak up & stand with those left waiting.

With tonight’s midnight deadline, Michigan students are caught in the budget crossfire. From special ed to school meals, vital supports hang in the balance. Democrats are pushing for funding that meets real needs and grows with our kids. The WBL Dems stand for public education that lifts us all.

Keep up the good work!!

DNC Chair Ken Martin's statement on Trump's unilateral act of war with Iran.

Over the weekend, millions of our fellow Americans showed up to remind Donald Trump that there are no kings in America! We in the West Bloomfield-Lakes area are proud to have played a part through protests in Farmington Hills, Ferndale, Detroit, and other protests across our great state, Michigan.

Completely heartbroken to learn about these targeted attacks on my friends Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman. Jenn and I are praying hard for both families. And we’re standing with our DFL community—and with all Minnesotans.

The way Senator Padilla was treated today is outrageous and inexcusable. He was doing his job and trying to get information for his constituents. We need accountability for the personnel who forced him to the ground and handcuffed him and immediate answers from the Admin.

Senator Murphy: I don't ask law enforcement to throw my constituents to the ground and violently handcuff them because they have a different opinion from me. We don't do that in a democracy. If this is how a Senator can be treated, none of our constituents are safe. This is a test for the country

There is no justification for the aggressive behavior displayed today toward Senator Padilla. This is a U.S. Senator. In a federal building. In his own state, doing his job. If they can handle a Senator like this, they can do this to anybody. It is an authoritarian response.

To forcibly remove and handcuff a sitting United States Senator expressing the concerns of his constituents marks a serious escalation in how far this administration is willing to go to silence those who disagree with them. apnews.com/article/alex...

As the June 14th No Kings protests approach, make sure to understand your rights as a protester. This guide from the ACLU is a good start. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

Communities nationwide are taking to the streets on June 14 to tell the Trump administration: We won't stay quiet when our freedoms are under attack. Get prepared by joining us today at 7pm ET for an important Know Your Rights training.
