Happy New Year, Michigan!🎉

I am proud to introduce legislation to improve accessibility at movie theaters for the deaf and hard of hearing community in Michigan! Check it out... www.mlive.com/politics/202...

I signed on as a cosponsor to three bills that provide more guardrails and increased transparency for large scale data center water usage in Michigan. Thank you to Sen. Rosemary Bayer, Sue Shink and Erika Geiss for your leadership! #mileg www.michiganpublic.org/politics-gov...

1/ Yesterday, I introduced a bill to improve accessibility of movie screenings for Michigan moviegoers who are deaf or hard of hearing. SB 764 would provide greater access to Open Movie Captioning screenings! #mileg 🧵 senatedems.com/chang/2025/1...

1/ This week, we learned the distressing news that an individual died in ICE custody at the North Lake Processing Center in Baldwin, Michigan. It is critical that the public learn the full results of the investigation into his death when it is completed. ... www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Today I joined @wdet.bsky.social, Miriam Stone and Christine Sauve of @michiganimmigrant.bsky.social to chat about Ernesto Cuevas Enciso and the ongoing Trump mass deportation effort that is ripping apart families. Take a listen: wdet.org/2025/12/11/m...

Please consider donating to support Ernesto's family to cover legal fees and other expenses trying to fight deportation. He is a former DACA recipient with work authorization and a pending LPR application! #momsky #keepfamiliestogether www.gofundme.com/f/help-bring...

1/ Today, a number of other elected officials and I sent a letter to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Field Directors in Michigan and Texas urging ICE to release four Western International High School students and their families...

I’ve been notified of two more deaths in ICE custody in the last 24 hours — meaning that 25 people have now died in detention since Trump returned to office. That’s the most in more than two decades. The cruelty and inhumanity of this administration must end.

ICYMI: Last week, I hosted a Shadow Hearing to expose the Trump administration’s horrific immigrant detention abuses. The public deserves to know what’s happening inside these facilities. I’m fighting for the truth. americasvoice.org/blog/ice-con...

Ernesto Cuevas Enciso is yet another NOT-CRIMINAL being traumatized by ICE. The violation of laws, civil rights, and plain decency is so, so wrong. Grateful for elected leaders like @stephanielilychang.bsky.social who are on the ground, fighting. #MomSky

1/ Public officials, family & faith leaders are urging ICE to immediately release Ernesto Cuevas Enciso, a former DACA recipient, father of a young infant & husband to a US citizen wife on bond pending his immigration hearing. Ernesto was in the legal process & working on his permanent residency.

We're so happy for the Yang family!🎉 Gratitude to the tireless advocates who fought for his release: his legal team, @AsianLawCaucus @risingvoicesaaf.bsky.social @GovWhitmer @stephanielilychang.bsky.social @MaiXiongMI @RepTomBarrett + all who called to bring Lue home! ❤ www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Yesterday, Sylvia Orduno of People's Water Board and I joined @wdet.bsky.social The Metro to talk about rising water rates across Michigan and the urgent need to pass water affordability legislation. Take a listen and share with a friend! #mileg #wateraffordability wdet.org/2025/12/02/m...

The families of two national guardsmen are without loved ones this holiday season. But Trump and DHS are take this tragedy and using it to further divide the nation. open.substack.com/pub/distills...

Here is a great rundown of Detroit small businesses with sales this weekend! #Detroit #shopsmallshoplocal www.bridgedetroit.com/detroit-loca...

Mohan Karki is a Bhutanese/Nepali refugee being held by ICE in Michigan. He has a court date next week but ICE is making moves to deport him without allowing due process. He has a wife & baby at home. Take action via @risingvoicesaaf.bsky.social >>> bit.ly/BringMohanHome #keepfamiliestogether

We held a Diversity, Equity and inclusion Townhall today in Detroit - fantastic panel and discussion. Here is the FB Livestream! www.facebook.com/share/v/15Qa...

71 percent of those held in immigrant detention by the end of September did not have criminal convictions, according to the Migration Policy Institute, a think tank focused on immigration. youtu.be/e4X0hI40a8A?...

1/ Law abiding green card holders. Refugees. Canadian citizens. People with old pardoned marijuana convictions. Under this Trump administration, ICE targets ANYONE - the goal is to remove as many people as possible, no matter their family, story or status. #momsky🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/o...

This week I joined Rep. Sarah Lightner on MichMash to chat about house/senate judiciary committee issues and working across the aisle/across chamber to get things done! Take a listen... #mileg ##gettingthingsdone open.spotify.com/episode/2pCu...

From Detroit to Muskegon, there have been far too many tragic deaths due to domestic violence. Our bipartisan legislation to make service of PPOs immediate and no-cost would go a long way to save lives and improve safety. #mileg #domesticviolence #momsky www.wzzm13.com/article/news...

Join us tomorrow in Detroit for a townhall on diversity, equity and inclusion! Saturday Nov 22, 11AM at the International Institute of Metro Detroit. We've got some great speakers lined up from @actioneqmi.bsky.social, @risingvoicesaaf.bsky.social and more!

Survivors speaking now Justice for their younger self Powerful heartfelt & heartbreaking testimonials Enough these Survivors have suffered enough I hope you are listening to them now I'm watching them live with tears rolling They are Brave and Courageous My heart goes out to them

I do in fact need to point out Trump’s breathtaking misogyny. Yes it’s to be expected from a serial abuser of women. Yes it’s what we fully expect from our Abuser-in-Chief. But ceasing to call it out is its own form of normalization and acceptance. So you better believe I’m gonna call it out.

1/ Children are suffering impacts from dangerous immigration enforcement tactics. SB 508-510 would support our families, improve public safety & protect privacy rights. #MILeg #momsky🧵 news247plus.com/news/world/michigan-legislators-and-community-leaders-criticize-harms-to-immigrant-children-43087

ICE has been targeting young kids for months, separating families and instilling fear. Tell Congress to pass legislation ensuring no child is arrested without a warrant and coerced to give up their rights by immigration agents.

Great news to start this week!! The U.S. Supreme Court will NOT take up a case that could have potentially overturned the same sex marriage ruling. ❤️🎉🏳️‍🌈 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

During his first term, Trump’s travel ban hit close to home—my 4-year-old’s beloved Iranian teacher was suddenly gone. Eight years later, my now 12-year-old still remembers the fear and confusion. Attacks on immigrant communities are tearing classrooms apart.

It is time to make sure Michiganders can afford their water bills. Every human being needs water to live. Our bipartisan bill package is the long term, sustainable, commonsense, bipartisan solution we need. Let's get it done.🚰 #mileg ##wateraffordability www.mlive.com/environment/...

Happy Election Day!! Many municipalities in Michigan have elections today, including several in Senate District 3 -- if that applies you, please go vote! Polls are open until 8PM. You can check out your sample ballot, find your polling location, and more at michigan.gov/vote #VOTE #ElectionDay

1/ Last week, the Michigan Senate passed SB 423 with almost unanimous support! My legislation will allow county treasurers to continue to run tax foreclosure prevention programs like Pay As You Stay and the Interest Reduction Stipulated Payment Agreement plans. #mileg #housing

This is a HUGE victory! The courts have ordered the federal government to use contingency funds to keep SNAP benefits going during the federal government shutdown. Thank you @dananessel.bsky.social for this important lawsuit!! #SNAPBenefits www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Staying in Touch with Stephanie update!! Five things to know from the past couple weeks. #stayingintouchwithstephanie #gettingthingsdone #fivethings #BringLueHome #keepfamiliestogether #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth youtu.be/juhgfqHOQUU

Serving a Personal Protection Order should be no cost to the survivor & take place immediately. Unfortunately, for Latricia, this didn't happen. We're working hard to pass bipartisan policy to prevent these tragedies in the future. #domesticviolenceawarenessmonth www.wxyz.com/news/local-n...

Thank you Gov. Whitmer for granting Lue Yang's pardon!! This gives us hope and a chance for his return to Michigan - if ICE makes the right decision. Take action: secure.everyaction.com/ptKd7q4FZEmM... michiganadvance.com/2025/10/23/w...

UPDATE: Governor Gretchen Whitmer has granted Lue Yang's pardon!! Thank you, Governor, for taking action, and thank you to every person and organization who advocated for this much needed change. We need everyone's help to get Lue Yang back to Michigan. Call ICE now.

1/ URGENT UPDATE: Lue Yang, Khone Sengmany and others are currently on a plane that left a Louisiana ICE staging facility overnight and will eventually land in Laos -- but we believe it is still in the United States. 🧵

1/ October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Senator Ruth Johnson, Representative Helena Scott, and I are proud to introduce SB 611-612, bipartisan legislation to ensure no-cost PPO service for victims... #domesticviolenceawarenessmonth #momsky 🧵

1/ The remaining living hostages have now been released by Hamas, a number of Palestinian prisoners have been released, and humanitarian aid is expected to surge to Gaza. Israelis troops will begin to withdraw, as part of this initial deal.🧵 www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

No to Kronos. I was proud to stand with residents on Friday urging the city to prioritize public health. Those living near the concrete facility have already had far too many negative health and quality of life impacts from the dust and noise. #notokronos www.bridgedetroit.com/detroit-cadi...
