This is terrible, but you know what, SPEAK LOUDER. You know, the way that Black and Indigenous folks have been doing for centuries while being harassed, surveiled, arrested, jailed, killed and yet....we just get LOUDER because our blood remembers the promise of what was already ours....FREEDOM.

Imagine if NPR had actually talked to safe streets advocates for this story and learned how the solutions to drivers killing people is not, in fact, victim blaming

I'll add he's been an early and vocal supporter of getting utility and corporate contractor money out of Michigan politics. (Taking Back Our Power is the MI legislature version of the Michiganders For Money Out Of Politics petition.) Also he/campaign is on Bluesky - @donavanmckinney.bsky.social

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

For the reasonable hour crowd,

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Do I have any Saginaw folks over here, not quite sure, anyway this is where I'll probably be Friday and you should be too. Cause the Flint town hall last week was fantastic vibes and the pastor who presented with me there, this is his home turf. Genuinely looking forward to it.

the revolution will not be televised (they canceled their subscriptions)

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

Best random YouTube nonsense I've seen in a minute that is also weirdly Art. Worth clicking through for the chapter titles alone. Enjoy. youtu.be/_E9AOweTwG0?...

All the VC/tech bros who ran to support Trump because he'd avoid any regulations on AI and crypto... many of them rely on H-1B employees. Wonder how they're feeling right now.

Ran into the anti democracy petition folks in Ypsi. $3-5 a sig to try to disenfranchise Michiganders and take away right to vote, so that's fun. Also said they had support from the Secretary of State? 🤨 Decline. To. Sign. And tell others the truth bc... they leave. votersnotpoliticians.com/dts/

Apparently the real Turing Test is recognizing what every single actual human sees when they look at the Ypsilanti Water Tower. Or maybe the real Turing Test is the human friends we made along the way. Commenting on the Ypsilanti Water Tower.

Music break. youtu.be/fb3rxk1bf_8?...

What’s not to love about an electric company that uses ratepayer $ to run ads bragging that they are now capable of keeping the power on 99% of the time? They think 3.65 days of outage a year is a good level of reliability!

Fun morning in Detroit. Turns out even people just passing by don't like DTE, who knew?

I believe we can women back to +30 LIB

Whoa. Read this thread. Judge Kelly is not a liberal. He's a Trump appointee. And he rightly slams the Trump Administration here. What they did is outrageous.

these people are genuinely idiots

Video games, the internet, and cellphones all peaked in the aughts. Everything is faster and more complex now, but are you REALLY having a better time?

Sandal is working on curing all cancer, looks very promising. Chancleta also turns the brights off when passing someone going the opposite way on a two lane road, solved world hunger (it's tube based nutrition but tastes AMAZING you'll love it), and got that kid out of the well. Outstanding, really.

he's got more of a comment than a question, really

Goddamnit I do NOT have time for this fucking nonsense Michigan

Oh foll f--ks sa(k)e.

Whether it's Joe Biden condemning the killing of Charlie Kirk in 2025 or Charlie Kirk calling for the killing of Joe Biden in 2024, both men have issued strong words about the other's killing.

Sandhill cranes are back, Michiagain, cranes are back, tell a friend. Don't think I've ever gotten from "they see us walkin they hatin" to full on flight on video before. Neat. Silly dinobirds, you'll probably outlast us all. @banditelli.org #Birdsky

In the Fourth Republic, we're going to resurrect the Postal Service with postal banking, public email accounts, and neighborhood post offices that provide constituency services and free legal advice. It's going to be so good.

many of you asked this and the answer is because he’s a fucking idiot

Slightly diminish a book Unpublished Writer and Margarita

the folly of hubris. he has no idea how his day is about to change

Counterpoint: I would like to visit the 1980s with several thousand of my closest queer friends and their favorite baseball bats.

+ Sunday after that 9/21 hang out in Ypsi for a awesome climate and community action event. (There are more cosponsors than on current graphic, updating tomorrow.) Both should be pretty great! QR or www.Sunday.Earth + find Ypsi on the map. h/t @peregrinekate.bsky.social for making this happen! ♥️

Hey Washtenaw area folks. Join us for a potluck next Sunday why not. ♥️ Bit.ly/9-14-25PotluckSignup

The total loss of NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research —a nerve center of global climate science, data collection and modeling — represents a setback for climate preparedness that experts warn the nation may never recover from. (Published April)

Do it. Search your name. Take their money. It’s yours anyway.

I know we call a lot of things Nazi shit these days but this is pure Nazi shit. "Don't show the Fuhrer in an unflattering light!!!"

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy. [Ok I'm finally ready to drive home now wow it's been a busy good exhausting day] [... It's not WRONG. Not all encompassing but not wrong I did spend hours talking about it today. 🤷‍♀️] [Bonus zoom out]

Amazing absolutely no meme notes (💔)

Whole thread. We’re in an up-in-the-air moment now: one hand, Trump threatening civil war; other, ICE being turned back by civil disobedience. Moral: fascists don’t know yet how far they’re willing to go. My belief: more moments like this now will prevent the war that’s been threatened.

I love Detroit, so damn much. Happy #DallyInTheAlley hope everyone here had fun! + TY everyone who stopped by the @cleanwatermi.bsky.social tent & signed @michiganmop.bsky.social! ♥️💧 You can still donate DallyInTheAlley.com for 2026. no sponsors, all volunteer run, awesomemess. Pics/Vids later. 🐱
