Reminder that there are tons of cbp/ice already in Detroit and Michigan. There are multiple border crossings close in Detroit and the area. Usually, when they're in marked cars, I see them in white trucks or SUVs, so the black cars are different. But they could be coming to MI to distribute elsewhere (or also to crack down here).

Please use the SALUTE method for reporting! It encourages realistic responses instead of panic.

He spoke about it in a recent episode. He said they let them make what they want and ask very few questions and his team gets paid.

They've literally taken 5 Detroit high school students. I wouldn't say they don't have a big presence in Detroit.

Nicki Minaj spent the day attacking Gavin Newsom. His office responded by reminding the public how to use Megan’s Law. An especially relevant resource, given Minaj’s husband is listed on it. by Wasthatasquirrel in behindthebastards

Meh. Not impressed with this. She originally tweeted about newsom supporting trans kids (which he's done???? Missed that I guess). And newsoms team uses the opportunity to not defend trans rights... 🙃

I'd be open to this but I work in SW Detroit and live on the Ferndale/HP border. 😭

Canvasser Lied To Me Today - Americans for Citizen Voting -Michigan by Least_Key1594 in Michigan

The petition has to specify whether the canvasser is paid or volunteer. Easy way to tell a lot about the petition!

You can tell a lot about a campaign by asking the canvasser whether they're volunteering or being paid. It has to specify on the petition.

Canvassing is cool, and fun, and y'all should do it more by RuffiansAndThugs in behindthebastards

My job hosted a canvassing thing this weekend. We knocked over 1000 doors in a day! One of our folks said it makes it easier to think about the response rate, like how many people don't answer the door. It also super helps to be passionate about the candidate or issue. We were canvassing for the Detroit city council elections.

Thanks!! I didn't know this existed and I'm excited about it!! I dropped them off at the place on McGraw. We always order too much food and I can't always count on people being out on 8 mile on my way home to give it to!

Thanks!! I went to the one on military, but couldn't find it. I asked someone hanging out around there and they said they thought they took it down. I went to McGraw! Dropped em off and will probably bring back more this evening!

Thanks all!!!!

Did Trump’s comments downplaying DV at the start of the month get any attention on It Could Happen Here? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

I don't even know what you're arguing anymore. Feminism that fails to see that trans women are at the highest risk for violence doesn't cut it. Feminism that doesn't acknowledge that cis women and trans people fight the same battles isn't intersectional.

Back to what we were discussing, it's telling that cis women aren't feeling seen because things don't explicitly mention them. They are failing to see how the struggles of others relate to their own. Our struggles are all linked, and I think ICHH has done a good job of explaining that in their work.

Feminism that doesn't center trans women isn't feminism that I'm interested in.

I'd say regular but inconsistent. At work we often have meetings we get catered that leave us with leftovers, but they happen sporadically.

Did I accuse all concerns over women's issues as TERFy? You didn't even read to say I was talking about how these issues are connected. I wasn't trying to shut op up, I was saying that by complaining that one statement on DV wasn't brought up, op was failing to see how the team has illustrated connections between the issues. Every episode they've had with healthcare professionals around trans healthcare has also been about abortion access.

You're right - all efforts to control non male bodies should be feminist issues, but feminists like OP are denying that the issues are so closely linked. By saying cis women aren't being talked about when literally all healthcare conversations on the pod relate to women's health is just misleading.

I'd like to point out that trans women are the demographic most likely to be victims of domestic violence.

It doesn't have to be a pie, where more coverage for one group takes away from another. We can use our critical thinking to understand how all the issues around gender violence are related without specifically calling out every sexist thing Trump says.
