2+ months ago my heart stopped for over 5 min. Meet the angels who saved my life: Josh, Dr. Mishkin, Rachel, Cassie, Natalie. Going down and coming back, I called one name, Jesus, and remembered their care and calm. Learn CPR/AED use. #CPRAwareness #AED #CardiacArrest #StillHere

A month ago, I issued a release warning that ICE raids put children in harm’s way & called for support of MI legislation to rein in dangerous immigration enforcement practices. This was foreseeable. No one should praise or protect masked ICE agents engaging in lawless behavior.

A child is without their mom bc of aggressive, fear-driven enforcement. That isn’t public safety. It’s MAGA policies treating people as threats, undermining due process, erasure of dignity. Public safety must never cost human life. Ever. We owe this family truth, accountability.
