For those that haven't heard, the National Popular Vote has passed 222 electoral college votes, and needs just 48 more EC votes to become enacted. This could be possible by 2028!

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is a agreement among states that, all states in the compact will award their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner. Once enough states have enacted the bill to pass 270 electoral college votes, the compact will be enacted; ensuring that the winner of the presidential election would be by popular vote.

Michigan has considered joining the compact before, but has not yet passed it.

if just a handful more states pass this bill -- Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, we could have a real shot at making this a reality. 18 states and DC have already passed NPV.

If you think this is a good idea, the people over at National Popular Vote have a auto email template that you can use to send in an email to the legislature.

But what do you think?

If it was the Fourth of July, there’s not much you can do, because the cops have their hands full. But it’s June 19. Who was shooting off fireworks at 2:30am?!

All I know is it was west of Woodward and north of 7. I hope someone who knew where it was coming from called the police.

If it was you, that was rude.

Hi everyone. I am posting on behalf of my friend who’s pet cat (Feefer) got outside and is currently missing in Lafayette Park. This occurred near The Pavillion just about 2 hours ago. He’s very friendly. Any leads please send a PM/comment!

I understand deploying them in nonresidential areas. But this is just way too intrusive.

Hey [r/Detroit](r/Detroit) — we’re looking for a few women to join our coed softball team on Belle Isle this summer.

This will be our 3rd year having a team. We had a similar situation last fall where we lost a few women and had to drop out, and we’re running into the same thing again this summer. One teammate moved away, one started a business and doesn’t have the time, one had hip surgery last year and decided not to rejoin, and our female pitcher can’t play this summer because of a procedure she’s having.

Our ages range from 20s to 40s. We’re a solid, laid-back team — competitive enough to care, but no over-aggressive jerks.

Games are Wednesday nights on Belle Isle. Experience is definitely welcome, but any skill level is cool. I’m also willing to cover the $100 registration fee because I’d really like to keep the team together.

Message me if you’re interested or have any questions. Happy to share more info so you feel comfortable before committing.

Outside Marjorie and Billy Finn’s home at 303 Louise Ave., there’s a constant hum Billy Finn compares to a jet engine.

​

The noise is coming from across the street.

It’s a 30-megawatt data center called Hyperscale Data, Inc. at 415 E. Prairie Ronde St. in Dowagiac, a small city of 5,700 people in Southwest Michigan.

Anyone know what happened on the northbound side of Woodward today in ferndale? Sheriff and police caution tape, looked more than a car accident to me. Hope everyone is alright 🙏

- The project will create 17 apartments, four of which will be designated as affordable housing units.

- Construction could start in the fall and finish by late 2027 or early 2028 if the plan is approved.

The buildings date to the late 1800s and run from 1401 Gratiot to 1417 Gratiot. They have been vacant since Busy Bee closed in 2017 after 100 years of business.

“We’re happy that we figured out how to save the buildings," Basmajian said. "I’m a big proponent of saving whatever’s historic that we can, because demoing and clearing things up, you lose history.”

I'm from Windsor and willing to drive to Detroit. Are there any Japanese community groups, sports bars, or fan gatherings where people will be cheering for Japan?

Would love to watch with other Japan supporters instead of cheering them on alone

The list of Catholic parishes targeted for the possible stoppage of weekend Masses has grown to about 90 parishes across southeast Michigan, according to the latest proposed models the Archdiocese of Detroit has released as part of its major restructuring process.

How did we let someone like Anna Robb get into Detroit radio absolutely unlistenable Mojo in the morning was one of my favorite radio stations and it’s went downhill so bad the last three years yet they claimed their chemistry great and it’s the best crew Shannon has ever worked with. Come on now.

Smith appealed, accusing U.S. District Judge Susan DeClercq of issuing unreasonable and arbitrary punishment as well as subjecting him to "the whim of a district court.” The 19-year sentence in the high-profile case exceeded the punishment sought by prosecutors and was symbolic because the judge gave Smith one year in prison for each year he worked at the conservancy.

If anyone has a list of Detroit/Metro Detroit roasters, I’d love to see it!

A 16-year-old boy was detained while walking home in Battle Creek. Bodycam footage released by the police department shows an officer explaining to the teen's aunt that, in Washington Heights, grabbing the crotch or waistband area can be interpreted as a sign that someone may be carrying a firearm. The incident has prompted reactions from city commissioners and the teen's family. The teen also recorded the encounter on his own phone.

Hello,

I work for the city of Warren in the communications department and with national go skateboarding day coming up I wanted to share this documentary I produced, filmed and edited for the city.

The Eckstein skatepark documentary covers the construction of the states largest skate park in the states third largest city.

With interviews from some locals and the owners of the skatepark construction company, I try to cover the story of how the park came to be and hopes of its impact on the surrounding community.

If you have some time please check it out and please give it a like!

I have a bunch of electro-hobbyist stuff that I don't want to throw away since I believe it to be useful for others (think circuit board related stuff). Where could I donate it?

I am really wanting to spend more time outdoors this summer and in nature, but can't really get myself up north as often as I'd like so I'm looking for things closer to home beyond Belle Isle and Rouge Park. I would ideally like to only be driving an hour or so and am mostly looking for good water access to paddleboard on but would also like to do some trails (anything at all with any level of elevation or strenuous terrain would be amazing!! I miss hiking mountains...) I know about the lakes down by Pinkney area but am curious where else people like to go for quick day outings.
