A reminder to use the parking brake every time you park!

More than a decade ago, Amanda Rauh-Bieri, ’17, and Brett Frazer, ’17, met in Professor Edward Cooper’s Civil Procedure class. This spring, they raced through 201.95 miles of Spanish countryside in a gravel bike race called the Traka. Read more: michigan.law.umich.edu/news/two-201...

Sports boost kids' mental and physical health. Let them play.

When Quinton Jones-Whitaker was 20, he went to prison for a crime he didn't commit. He wasn't there--he wasn't even involved. He served a 12.5-year sentence, was paroled last month, and was exonerated this morning, with the Michigan Innocence Clinic's help. michigan.law.umich.edu/news/quinton...

The name "Lululemon" is purposely racist, to make fun of Japanese people. The company has acknowledged this but still hasn't changed the name, so I'm not surprised that it would be unconcerned about something like this.

Pretty sure they could have paid any random person $300 to do that paint job

Happy that two travel articles I wrote were chosen for Solas Awards: -In NatGeo, a story on guided family camping trips (bronze award, Family Travel category) -In Wander, on a tree-planting program that uplifts struggling communities around the world (silver award, Travel and the Environment)

In an interview with Allison Torres Burtka for Michigan Law (@umichlaw.bsky.social), 1983 alumnus Claudio Visco discusses his role as #IBA President, his vision for upholding the #RuleOfLaw, advancing diversity and addressing artificial intelligence. Read: michigan.law.umich.edu/news/claudio...

A look at how climate change is affecting Michigan, from forests to trout to flooding to asthma

💚💚💚

The PERMIT Act, a bill in the Senate, would roll back many of the Clean Water Act's protections that have cleaned up our waters over the last 50 years. Thanks to @flowtc.bsky.social and @freshwaterfuture.bsky.social for their insight on what this might mean. planetdetroit.org/2026/02/detr...

“I think everybody knows about the redwoods of California, but so few people know about the pines of Michigan or the beech or maple forests," Antonio Cosme, cofounder of Black to the Land Coalition, told me. “You can experience those majestic, awe-inspiring natural places up here.”

Michigan's northern forests may feel far from Detroit — but they filter the water we drink, clean our air, and buffer us from climate change. We've been reporting on those connections. Now we're bringing the conversation live. Join us Thursday at noon. Free. 👇 donorbox.org/events/90622...

good news for (fully caffeinated) coffee and tea drinkers!

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

Karoline Leavitt: “Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.” Well, KKKaroline, vicious racism actually matters to many Americans. But probably not any you know. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Terrorizing children

A 5-year-old boy has been snatched from his driveway in Minnesota, flown to Texas, and put behind bars. How does terrorizing children "protect America"? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

MLK could have written this today.

If ya don't want political reactions in your factory Don't bring politicians into your factory Seems really simple

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

Glad these 6 prosecutors stood up to this. It's absurd for the DOJ to investigate the widow of the woman killed by an ICE agent--rather than investigating the shooter. This is not how things work.

These FDA/HHS announcements that they'll conduct new studies on mifepristone, Tylenol & other drugs that have been shown to be safe for many years is bad news for the safety of all our drugs. They are trying to drive the FDA on whims, not science. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Wherever their new venue is, I hope they sell out their first performance immediately.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

We should be thanking the officers who did their jobs and put their lives on the line to defend our democracy. We should also call the insurrectionists who killed officers and tried to overthrow the government what they are: insurrectionists, traitors, criminals (pardon or no pardon).

In 2025, there were 2,065 confirmed cases of measles in the United States. 3 deaths. All of them completely preventable. We're doing worse than some developing countries. Venezuela apparently had 0 measles cases in 2025. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

My mom, 78, had Glacier National Park on her bucket list, so we went on a hiking trip there, even though I wasn't sure how much she'd be able to do. Turns out, way more than she expected--she pretty much became an outdoor adventurer. www.sierraclub.org/sierra/i-too...

This is what all the Turning Point conference attendees aspire to be.

What I absolutely DON'T need from a newspaper is an article on why one sexual predator isn't sorry about his friendship with another sexual predator.

At least Forbes is telling it like it is. There is no limit to his cruelty.

Fred Rogers said to look for the helpers. Ahmed el Ahmed realized what was happening at Bondi Beach and ran to help, all by himself, pouncing on one of the gunmen and grabbing his gun away. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/15/w...

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

My dog died a few days ago, and then this showed up at my door. It's from Chewy, where I had to cancel autoships I had set up for her food and meds. This is how you go above and beyond in customer service.

If only there were *something* Target could do differently! This article doesn't acknowledge that the company's sudden abandonment of DEI (and then doubling down on it every time they had an opportunity to reconsider) is the main reason people are staying away.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

This is perfect.

This is what's wrong with journalism, the NYT, politicians, health care--all of it. Do I want to read about this journalist's infatuation with this imbecile who's bringing back preventable diseases? I sure don't. Reading just part of this breathless article is more than enough.

Color me unsurprised that these rich white people abusing their power are also vicious racists.

This is the true story of millions of Americans forced to find out what happens when this reality TV star stops being polite and starts getting real.

Right--a skincare routine is just what every 3 year old needs! Toddlers really need to take their beauty regimens more seriously.

Veterans are among the people ICE is terrorizing. Veterans are among the people who depend on SNAP benefits. Veterans are among the people who need affordable health care. This administration is attacking the people who put their lives on the line for this country.

I'm happy to see that this @jama.com report includes both direct measures, like stronger licensing laws, and indirect ones, like cleaning and greening urban blight. Research has shown that "greening" vacant lots can reduce gun violence: www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/...

Another example of an abortion ban making doctors stay away is Tennessee. There, the number of applicants for OB-GYN residency spots in 2024 decreased 20.9 percent from the previous year. For other medical specialties, it decreased 12.7 percent. rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/10/31/a...
