ICE shot and killed a legal resident in Maine today. He had a Social Security number. His 3-year-old was in the car. No body cams. No ID. No accountability. ICE has killed at least 10 people under Donald Trump's watch -- he owns this. It's not law enforcement. It's state sponsored terrorism.
This event is organized by the candidate & her supporters not Traverse Indivisible. Decompress after Saturday's protest at this FREE Summer Celebration w/ MI State Rep @betsycoffia.bsky.social 🥪Food 🎤Music 💃Dancing 🎨Interactive art Family friendly. All welcome! tinyurl.com/2eetahwp

Trump fired the entire Election Assistance Commission, the body that certifies voting systems, months before the midterms. They refused to do what he wanted, so he emptied the room. This is what election takeover looks like. Democracy needs us. All of us. apnews.com/article/trum...
ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. No criminal record, 35 years in this country building homes & in the process of getting his work permit. His son recognized him in a video by his voice crying for help. Paramilitary forces do not belong on the streets of America. www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/u...
MI House GOP passed HB 5727, stripping work protections from kids. They talk "save the kids" but this bill enables exploitation. State Senator John Damoose (R) can help block it if it comes up for a vote. Tell him to vote to protect Michigan kids. ☎️ 517-373-2413 Info mlpp.org/michigan-hou...

Mallory McMorrow went out fighting -- the same way she showed up. Thank you, Mallory! Already voted for her? You can spoil your ballot and get a new one through your local clerk before Aug 4. Two democrats left. Make it a deliberate choice. Find your Clerk here mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/Index
Birthright citizenship just won in a hostile Supreme Court: born here = citizen under the 14th Amendment. Check your Constitution, guys - it's in there. Thin-skinned Trump crashed out demanding Congress "start TODAY" to end it. This November we vote to ensure that doesn't happen!
Join the Good Trouble Assembly today! Whether you can protest for a few minutes or an hour, standing against authoritarianism is about as Fourth of July as it gets! 📍TC Senior Center, 801 E. Front Street ⏰Noon 🪧Bring your own sign, or use one of theirs ✌️Peaceful assembly & nonviolent resistence

The FCC has no authority over who appears on a TV talk show. But that's not stopping them from trying to censor The View. This is the government telling a free press who is and isn't allowed to speak. That's not regulation, that's censorship. Submit an FCC comment here abc.com/news/3a80ab8...
Yesterday SCOTUS ruled states can ban trans girls from sports. One case was about an 11-year-old who just wanted to play with her friends. Anti-trans laws drive a 72% spike in suicide attempts among trans youth. Stand for the youth of America 🏳️⚧️ pflag.org/about-us/ upnorthpride.com www.ourfutr.org

Garfield Twp is holding a hearing next week on a data center moratorium. An out-of-state developer is already circling. These are the decisions that get made in the dark. Don't let them. Show up 📍 Garfield Township Hall, 3848 Veterans Drive 🕖 July 8 @ 7PM Email www.garfieldmi.gov/departments-...
Today's Supreme Court ruling hands U.S. Presidents more power than the "English Crown" (as Justice Sotomayor put it.) 250 years ago we escaped that kind of rule. Unchecked power has no place in America. Not now. Not ever. That's the heritage we must all work to honor. www.npr.org/2026/06/29/n...
⏰ Deadline to leave comment on #Line5 is TOMORROW. Enbridge wants to drill a tunnel through fractured claystone under the Straits of Mackinac, beneath an old pipeline, with methane in the path. Not in our Great Lakes. A few sentences from you matters www.michigan.gov/egle/about/f...
Pete & Chasten Buttigieg are our neighbors. This week a false, anonymous report to CPS traumatized their two 4-year-olds. Solo forensic interviews. Separation. If your hate for an adult drives you to traumatize their children, you've lost your humanity. Abhorrent. www.npr.org/2026/06/26/n...
Good Trouble Assembly was featured in @roberthubbell.skystack.xyz Today's Edition Newsletter! They've been protesting multiple times a week, every week, for over a year & their numbers are growing! GTA Info traverseindivisible.org/good-trouble Read Here roberthubbell.substack.com/p/as-dems-ex...
The Traverse Indivisible Steering Committee proudly endorses Abdul El-Sayed for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social
Two Democratic Socialists & a progressive ally won their primaries in New York, but that's not the headline. ➡️ People power is beating big money. For instance, Brad Lander was outspent 7-to-1 on the airwaves. American voters are realizing money can get you votes, but it can't control them.
➡️TONIGHT: Meet with Michigan State Rep. Betsy Coffia @betsycoffia.bsky.social for her June office hour from 6pm-7pm at Traverse Area District Library. A politician doing their job -- love to see it! This is the kind of accountability we fight for every day. Better government is possible.
