Teen violence broke out again in downtown Detroit on Sunday night, including large brawls and the nonfatal shooting of a 14-year-old.

I was recently banned from r/Michigan after posting news about Erika Kirk speaking in Michigan. As a journalist working in Michigan for my entire career, I believe news shouldn't be censored. I believe we need a space where all news coverage about the Mitten State can be shared. Please join me if you want to be part of a community that is more transparent and comprehensive in its news coverage.
