protest

Fortress of Iciclitute by Andrew McFarlane

Like many businesses & individuals across the nation, Michigan in Pictures will be participating in the nationwide Ice Out of Everywhere general strike on Friday, January 30th. The protest calls on Americans who believe that the Administration’s immigration enforcement campaign is violating our Constitution and national fabric to voice their displeasure with a nationwide day of no school, no work and no shopping.

You of course are free to do whatever you want, but if this post offends you, trust that I will almost certainly offend you again.

No post Friday – stay safe & see you next week everyone!

No Kings Day, Ann Arbor by Dennis Sparks

Editor’s Note: the author of this blog is one of millions of Americans who feel that actions by President Trump & his Administration cross dangerous Constitutional and/or societal red lines including stopping people based on skin color, warrantless raids by masked police, “clawing back” duly appropriated Federal funds, directly threatening to turn the military on American citizens who oppose him, and refusing to seat a duly elected representative for almost a month because she will be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. You may certainly disagree, but if you get nasty, you’re gone. No kings or tyrants in the USA, ever.

The second No Kings Day protests are scheduled across the state, nation, and even the world for this Saturday, October 18, 2025. You can check the map at NoKings.org or text #63033 for detailed information about protests near you. Also, they are asking that folks wear YELLOW because it is neither blue nor red

Dennis took these at the No Kings Day protests in Ann Arbor & Saline back in June. See more from the protests below, and more from these cities in his Ann Arbor Area gallery on Flickr.
