Different name, same voter suppression tactics. Michigan has our own version of the federal SAVE Act that we need to stand against, except it's a proposed ballot initiative deceptively called "Americans for Citizen Voting" that's really about creating more red tape for voters.

MAGA Republicans' farm bill includes the following: ❌ Keep families from accessing food assistance programs ❌ Roll back protections for our air, water, and soil ❌ Give wealthy corporations the upper hand at the expense of independent farmers

On the SAVE Act: "For working families, seniors, students and rural voters, these are not small inconveniences. They are real costs in time and money, they are the very definition of a barrier to the ballot."

Is Tom Barrett using campaign funds to get him and his family rich? 👀

The Romulus City Council voted unanimously to oppose the operation of a planned ICE facility and has now authorized the city to join a lawsuit with @miattygen.bsky.social against the Department of Homeland Security and ICE.

The climate crisis is already impacting farmland across the country, and farmers need support in order to feed their communities. But MAGA Republicans want to slash critical conservation programs that benefit our air, water, and soil.

Standing up as neighbors to protect one another is how we can get #ICEOut of our communities.

Michigan working families are stretched thin already. Gas, groceries, and utility bills keep going up — and now the Pentagon is seeking an additional $200 billion for the war with Iran. We need lower costs here at home, not more war spending.

Farmers need a federal government that works for everybody - not just for billionaires. Call your federal lawmaker to make sure wealthy corporations don't get taxpayer-funded handouts at everyone else's expense.

Congress is giving Big Ag the upper hand while local independent farmers are being left behind.  It doesn’t have to be this way. Call your federal lawmaker to make sure wealthy corporations don't get taxpayer-funded handouts at everyone else's expense at progressmi.org/call.

MAGA Republicans are pushing expensive, illegal, and immoral wars while letting families go hungry. We’re calling on Congress to make our groceries more affordable instead of approving more giveaways to wealthy corporations – which means voting NO on the farm bill.

Across Michigan, we're seeing people join together to say #ICEOut of our communities. Southfield is standing together to oppose an ICE office that's part of the deportation machine.

Wishing an Eid Mubarak to families celebrating across Michigan ✨

The Trump administration's coverup of the Epstein files continues. Redactions and fake hearings are only part of a Republican conspiracy to protect criminals and billionaires. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/18/pam-bondi-epstein-briefing-democrats

Southfield residents are demanding that Redico, a corporate landlord, cancels its lease for an office for ICE attorneys. ICE attorneys play an integral role in tearing our communities apart by advocating for the separation of families. #ICEOut

Food is life––it’s as simple as that. Yet MAGA Republicans are prioritizing building weapons for endless wars over making sure families can afford groceries. Call your Member of Congress and tell them to vote NO on the farm bill.

We don't want ICE or their attorneys in Southfield, or anywhere else. #ICEOut

MAGA Republicans want to wrap up voters in red tape by forcing them to provide documentation like passports and birth certificates that can be hard to obtain. The SAVE Act would institute a poll tax and would make voting less accessible for many Americans to exercise their right to vote.

Reporting shows that DTE and Consumers Energy customers are paying over 13.9% in profits for each bill they receive. If a customer has a utility bill of $150 a month, they are paying more than $20 in profits toward these companies.

MAGA Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. They know the SAVE Act disenfranchises millions of citizens by making it harder to vote. Call your senators today to tell them to vote NO on the SAVE Act.

Michigan Medicine is threatening to drop some Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance plans if they don't reach a new agreement by this summer. This is likely just a negotiation tactic and the dispute will likely be resolved.

While Mike Duggan was leading Detroit Medical Center, he oversaw worker layoffs, outsourcing hospital services, and union-busting all while his salary more than doubled, taking home $2.41 million in 2011.

People across Michigan are getting out in the streets to demand ICE OUT of our communities. Thank you, Southfield for showing up ✊📢 

Last week, a tornado hit Michigan with no warning, killing four people and injuring more than twenty. With Trump's funding cuts to NOAA and NWS, we can't predict tornadoes effectively and people die.

Trump is making us all pay more just so he can help his billionaire buddies get even richer.

Michiganders lose $1.7 billion each year to online scams, yet official reports capture only a fraction of the problem. A new analysis from @consumerfed.bsky.social estimates the true cost is much higher than reported with internet scams. Get the facts here: consumerfed.org/reports/true...

Thank you to local and state officials for figuring out solutions to prevent ICE from setting up shop in our communities. We need to keep the pressure up!

While Trump is busy bombing civilians and starting trade wars, working families are struggling to make ends meet. We deserve real solutions.

Only about half of Michiganders have a passport, and thousands of married women have names that don't match their birth certificates. The SAVE Act will force them to jump through more hoops just to keep voting like usual.

Our latest Lake Effect results are in, and one thing is clear: Michiganders want action to rein in ICE's violence and violations of people's rights.

Every voter should have the same access to the ballot box. The SAVE Act would create new, burdensome requirements that would disproportionately affect women, as well as the half of Michiganders who don't have a passport.

While working families are struggling to make ends meet, Trump is spending your taxpayer dollars on bombing civilians. His priorities are all wrong.

Instead of finding real solutions to help working families thrive, Trump and his cronies are busy terrorizing vulnerable people at home and abroad and steamrolling over basic needs programs. Call your members of Congress and demand they hold Trump accountable.

Bombing schoolchildren doesn't make anyone safer. We reject Trump's violent military action in Iran and demand that our lawmakers in Congress hold him accountable. Find your congressperson here commoncause.org/find-your-re... and tell them "No war with Iran."

POV: You’re DTE Energy… Just a few days after their latest rate hike was approved, the utility giant is already signaling their intention to ask for YET ANOTHER INCREASE. Call your Michigan state senator by going to https://progressmi.org/call and tell them to support SB 768 to limit rate hikes.

Even the US Supreme Court won't hear the lies from election deniers.

Duggan and Hall are birds of a feather, and they're both lying. They both accused Democratic legislators of refusing to pass an education budget unless they could also pass a bill allowing trans kids to compete in sports. This never happened.

Getting ready for Gov. Whitmer's last State of the State Speech now. Follow along here for live updates!

While we’re watching Whitmer’s final State of the State tonight at 7:00 p.m., join us in playing some bingo to celebrate some progressive wins. #misots

As the State of the Union begins, we’re staying focused on the reality families face every day: rising costs, political division, and leaders who keep putting powerful interests first. Michigan families deserve better.

Tom Barrett being an embarrassment, as usual

The Trump administration is working to demonize the LGBTQ+ community and undermine public education. What else is new?

Americans have been paying the price for Trump's irresponsible tariffs for too long already. We're glad to see SCOTUS reigning in this overreach.

DTE Energy has gotten away with far too much for far too long—and on top of that, they just announced another 4 percent rate increase.
