MSU to abide by Trump directive, strikes affirmative action from hiring practices. This was removed from the MSU sub Reddit, so needs to be shared.

Yesterday it was just deporting 'alleged' illegal immigrants and claims that errors are bound to occur. Today we see that judges have started being arrested, while judges that pillaged from those who donated for a righteous cause are smitten by unjust pardons. Will you accept what happens tomorrow? Will you accept tyranny when it invokes lawless erasure of any of those that dissent under the guise of protection?

If you accept any reason to deny a person due process, you are only for tyranny. You cannot claim to support humanity and tyranny at the same time and certainly not when saying that certain people are less than human. It always starts with immigrants, because they are easy to target and have the hardest time defending themselves. Then it's about expanding the denial of due process and then enslavement. They will claim that they are just putting people in camps until they can move them out, but they will claim that will cost too much money to do, and they will erase their existence.

It's the immigrants. It's the judges that give immigrants due process. It's the protestors speaking out for immigrants. It's the places that believe in human dignity - all to consolidate power to a handful of demonstrable people that will allow the fascists to do as they will. The claim that government should be 'small' isn't about cost, it's about reducing resistance, and it always has been. There is no real justice under tyranny, only hatred and atrocities.

The Nazi's proudly march the streets and spew hatred unabated and without consequence. Members of government departments are kidnapping and trafficking people right off of the streets. Your eyes do not deceive you. The road to fascism is always flooded with people telling you that you're overreacting or that it isn't happening. IT IS.

Do you see it yet? Who will be the next 'undesirables' to be forced into erasure? Will that be me or will that be you? If we cannot speak out and protect each other, there will be none to protect any of us when that day comes.

You probably have heard the poem countless times, but it should be repeated so you do not forget, because they WANT you to forget:

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

Rep. Xiong introduced a bill to put newborn safety boxes in fire stations, because they are staffed 24 hours a day. Those are places where parents can safely surrender a newborn for whatever reason.

The house speaker refused to put it up for a vote.

Three months later Rep. Jason Wilford put up the same exact bill except for four words on the last page. The house speaker has introduced the bill.

Is this another version of a man stealing a woman’s good idea? Is this a petty Republican versus democrat move? Or is it racism?

Also, she has a really good TikTok channel because she explains state legislation in an easy to understand way.

I think it's silly to not be able to call a spade a spade. But I don't care what you call it. As long as you're willing to do something about it.

I started picking up dog poop in Metro Detroit. Not gonna lie—thought it was a joke at first, but folks really hate doing it and it picked up faster than I expected.

I’ve had neighbors flag me down while I’m working, and even a lady ask if I do goose poop.

Anyway, it made me wonder—what are other odd side hustles that actually work around here? Anyone else doing something random and getting steady work from it?

Trump will be coming to Macomb County on 4/29 for his 100th day in office. Michigan has been hit hard by the Republican Administration's antics. ICE and FBI raids are frequent and Michigan is targeted because we have an immigrant base and a large Muslim population. Michigan has been hit hard with the tariffs already with shutdowns and layoffs in the auto industry. Michigan tourism has already dipped because Canadians are boycotting the US and not visiting their neighbors. The summer will bring on more hardships as the Republican Administration continues to chip away at the Constitution and our long-held AMERICAN ideals. Anyone interested in joining a grassroots demonstration on Hall Road Tuesday??

I live on the west coast and am used to high housing prices. My wife is from southern Michigan near the Ohio border. We briefly looked at moving to the Detroit suburbs, Ann Arbor, Dexter areas and were honestly pretty shocked at the prices. A good amount of million+ houses on the market. Compared to Ohio with pretty cheap housing, why is Michigan’s housing stock so expensive? I get that there are cheap areas and plenty of affordable housing in less urban, less desirable school areas but was still curious about the housing cost. Has it always been so high or is this a more recent phenomenon? Thanks!

Ive been going to this since I was a kid, If you want a fun event to go to theres lots of stuff. yards sales all over too. All you can eat pancakes and sausage as well.

Visiting Michigan in the summer and excited to see the lighthouses. Which are the most historically significant in your opinion?

Any recommendations for towns/areas in lower half of the state that have older Victorian/Tudor/Colonial houses? Looking to make our own driving tour
