  1. Hype for the Future 209C: Lake Michigan Urban Corridor, Wisconsin

    Introduction The southeastern portion of the State of Wisconsin along the western side of Lake Michigan is home to notable communities in and around Milwaukee, including Waukesha, Port Washington, Grafton, Cedarburg, Kenosha, and Racine, just to name a few.

While the Grafton, Port Washington, and Cedarburg areas are to the […]

  2. PRESS RELEASE: In Wake of Mass Hunger Strike, Conditions at North Lake Processing Center Draw International Condemnation and Concern

    "Baldwin, MI — A month after hundreds of people held in immigration detention at the North Lake Processing Center launched rolling hunger and work strikes across multiple units in response to inhumane conditions, inadequate medical care, and legal delays, new reports and organizing have continued to highlight the urgency of their unmet demands.

    Owned and operated by the Florida-based GEO Group since its construction as a for-profit youth prison in the late 1990s, North Lake is currently the largest detention center in the Midwest. The strikes beginning last month—which spread without formal leadership and were met with threats of retaliation from GEO staff—echo earlier chapters in the facility’s history. Extensively documented hunger strikes at North Lake in 2020 led to blanket denials from the GEO Group, just as Immigration and Customs Enforcement attempted to deny recent actions despite participants’ testimony to attorneys, family members, and reporters."

  3. Hype for the Future 208MIC: Manitowoc and Ludington

    Introduction Within the Great Lakes region, the Cities of Manitowoc and Ludington are notable Lake Michigan cities connected via a seasonal ferry carrying the Route 10 corridor with the City of Manitowoc in the State of Wisconsin to the west and the City of Ludington in the State of Michigan to the east. While Manitowoc serves as the Manitowoc County seat, Ludington serves as the Mason County seat on the opposite side of Lake Michigan. Apart from Route 10, the City of Manitowoc is also a […]

    Not far from where my gramma and grampa J lived in Harbert, Michigan. I’ll get back there at some point and walk along the Lake Michigan beach where I once did with my dad when I was A LOT younger (like, about 50 years younger!)

    "GLOS buoys don't get pulled overnight, but the observing system degrades when funding stops. Sensor maintenance contracts lapse, then data transmission and cloud fees go unpaid. Then partner organizations (universities, private sector and nonprofits) lose the GLOS grants that keep their equipment in the water. Within one season, the network fragments."

  20. Whee!

    For the first time since December 2025, the Great Lakes are almost ice-free.

    (There's still a small sliver of ice on the northern shore of Lake Superior.)

  25. The Great Lakes account for over 20% of the world’s freshwater and over 80% of North America’s freshwater.

    "In examining the administration’s safety records from the past 16 years, the study found that the regulatory body has never permanently shut down a pipeline, no matter how severe a leak or rupture has been.

    Opponents have referred to the more than 70-year-old pipeline as a ticking time bomb, citing a previous spill from Enbridge’s Line 6B and multiple anchor strikes which dented the dual pipelines and damaged structural supports as causes for concern. Enbridge maintains that the pipeline is operating safely as it seeks to replace the two segments operating in the Straits of Mackinac with a new segment housed inside a maintenance tunnel beneath the lakebed."
