awesome idea of having vehicles turn into shelters - sounds like it was just "invented" recently? even it be a thing that should exist since way longer
not everything that uses tyres, means it should be on the streets, instead: it can stay instead of a home, people still benefit by no rain or snow, maybe unless on the windows to get rid of
here outside of detroit, windows of cars were already iced up for today...

Instead of treating teens as the problem, #Detroit is trying something different: giving them real influence over city decisions.

"We draw a crowd if we’re on a public beach. Everyone wants to see the wild endangered birds run away.
"It’s a little bit anticlimactic, though, honestly, because the camouflage on the chicks is so good that you let them go, and they run off into the sand in the distance, and then you just don’t see them again."

The wishful thinking of ‘climate havens’: Canada’s wildfire smoke is debunking myths about the Midwest
Cities like Detroit and Duluth, Minnesota, were once thought to be safer from the impacts of climate change. Their air quality this week says otherwise

Canadian #wildfire smoke turns air hazardous in the US #Midwest. Officials say stay inside
By TAMMY WEBBER and PHILIP MARCELO, July 16, 2026
NEW YORK (AP) — "Heavy, pungent smoke from #CanadianWildfires darkened skies in the U.S. on Thursday from the #GreatLakes to parts of the #EastCoast, reducing visibility for commuters and prompting warnings that air quality could make being outside dangerous.
"#Detroit’s air quality was among the worst in the world for major cities, as a lingering high pressure system trapped smoke from dozens of fires in Canada and northern Minnesota, said Steven Freitag, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Pontiac, Michigan.
" 'Sure enough, it arrived in force here and it’s really pretty extreme levels,' said Freitag, who noted that visibility in some areas was reduced to a half mile.
"Omar Mitchell wore a mask as he walked to his restaurant in Detroit. He said he urged his employees to do the same.
" 'It’s scary,' Mitchell, 50, said as he looked at the sky. 'You don’t know necessarily what the side effects may be. That’s days or months later.'
"Cities across the Great Lakes states registered air quality ranging from unhealthy to hazardous — which means it’s unhealthy for anyone, regardless of health conditions. Microscopic particles can lodge deep in the lungs and enter the bloodstream, leading to heart and lung problems and contributing to other long-term health issues.
"All of #Michigan and much of #Minnesota were under a hazardous #AirQualityAlert. In the Chicago area, air quality ranged from very unhealthy to hazardous.
"National Weather Service meteorologist Jake Petr said even if winds from the northwest clear skies as expected later this week, the smoky air could keep returning until the fires are out. That could take weeks or longer.
" 'Anytime we have something that could bring air from that region until the fires are over, it could conceivably dip back into the area,' Petr said.
"In #SaintPaulMN, the air was 'glowing yellow,' said Brent Williams, head of the soil, water and climate department at the University of Minnesota, who said the area 'could be looking at weeks to months of continued smoke and flare-ups off and on as the winds blow in different directions.'
"A study published this year found that long-term exposure to tiny particles from wildfire smoke contributed to an average of 24,100 deaths a year in the lower 48 states. Long-term exposure can make existing health problems worse and lead to a range of chronic and deadly health issues, including respiratory illness, cardiovascular and neurological diseases, and premature death."

Today in Labor History July 8, 1968: A wildcat strike began in Detroit, Michigan against both the Chrysler Corporation and the UAW. At the time, the Dodge Hamtramck plant was 70% black, while the union local was dominated by older Polish-American workers. In response, black workers formed the new Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement. The Revolutionary Union Movement quickly spread to other Detroit plants: Ford Revolutionary Union Movement at the Ford River Rouge Plant, and Eldon Avenue Revolutionary Union Movement at the Chrysler Eldon Avenue plant. They united in 1969 in the League of Revolutionary Black Workers.
DRUM was created by veteran organizers who were also communists, internationalists, and revolutionaries who had been organizing as early as 1963, when they formed the UHURU student group at Wayne State. One of the organizers was General Baker, who wrote the following: “When the Detroit rebellion took place (1967), and the National Guard and 101st Airborne was sent in, and they imposed curfew, if you got sick, you couldn’t go to the doctor. If you got hungry, you couldn’t get no food. But if you had a badge from Chrysler, Ford or General Motors, you could get through the police line, the National Guard line, the army line, all of them to take your butt to work. The conclusion we draw from that was that the only place in this society that Black people had any value was at a point of production. That’s why, after the rebellion, we turned all our efforts into organizing inside the plants. Believe it or not, like an accident of history in one year from that time, DRUM was born."

NEW: Cadillac Heights used to be a quiet neighborhood. After a historic land swap facilitated by Detroit officials, a billionaire-owned concrete plant moved in.
Now residents say they are battling air pollution so thick they can “taste the dust.”
