Is shutting down its DEI office. This is a tremendous loss.

It's disappointing how Democratic regents downplay it. This was a moment to show real leadership, and they didn’t.

We need to stop folding when it matters most.

Okay, this might be a hot take that cost me some votes, but can we all agree that the #SuperBowl would be wayyy better on a Saturday?

Good news, RO - our municipal workers are unionized, so we don’t do dystopian employee purge lists here.

My heart goes out to the family of the young Royal Oak child who tragically passed away this morning in an incident at a medical office in Troy. There are no words for such an unimaginable loss. Please know that your community grieves with you and holds you in our thoughts.

@rephaleystevens.bsky.social understands that RO relies on millions of dollars yearly to provide critical services like senior housing, home repairs, and other essential programs for our residents. It’s outrageous that Congressionally approved funds from citizens in need.
