"There are worlds beyond and worlds within which the explorer must explore. But one power seems to transcend space and time, life and death. lt is a human power which holds us safe and together when all other forces combine to tear us apart.
We call it the power of love."

51% of Detroit kids live in poverty but billionaire Dan Gilbert’s rep thinks it’s “indecent” to answer questions before getting $548M.
Detroiters deserve a real Community Benefits Ordinance, not this broken process allowing developers to steamroll residents and give us scraps.

Alex Pretti's father: We wish Alex was alive. This administration has taken that away from us. We will no longer stay silent about the actions of the Department of Justice. What we have been treated to is cruelty. By Dan Rosen in the US Attorney's office, from the Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has ignored our letter begging for basic information. They have shielded Alex's killers. This is not justice.

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

Let us continue to pray together for peace. The day after tomorrow, on 27 October, let us join in spirit with the heads of churches and religious leaders who will gather in Assisi to mark the 40th anniversary of the meeting convened by Saint John Paul II. Never before has it been so clear that wars, as well as sowing death and destruction, impoverish and harm the world. May the Lord inspire choices of dialogue and peace! #PrayTogether

Viral Detroit mailman Mike Copeland says he’s doing good: “The post office is taking good care of me.” He reminds everyone to “vote, vote, vote.”
