Detroit is the largest city in a state known for close presidential contests. But we know little about why Detroiters do or don’t vote, and the issues they care about. So we asked 1,100 Detroiters about their civic priorities. Here's what we learned. https://t.co/Zn2ytUwI2g

Our survey found most Detroiters are active voters and engaged in their communities. But many think their officials don’t share their priorities: safety, housing and health care.

WHITES ONLY? This sign “It’s moving day, #ClaudineGay !“ is not only about gloating over the ouster of a “diversity hire.” It’s meant to be a 2024 “Whites Only” sign to make Harvard & higher education toxic for people of color and women. It. Won’t. Work. #DEI #Diversity
