The Supreme Court heard oral argument in Lindke v. Freed, a case on whether a Michigan city manager can block people from his official and public Facebook page. James Freed is a city manager for Port Huron, Michigan. He had a private Facebook account for years before he changed it to a public page. After he became city manager, he updated his "About" section to include his new title. He also added other city information including an email address and the city hall's location. On this page he posted personal and professional content. During the pandemic, Mr. Freed posted COVID-19 city policies. Kevin Lindke posted critical comments on the policies. Mr. Freed deleted these critical posts and later blocked him. Mr. Lindke filed a lawsuit alleging his First Amendment rights were violated. A district court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled against him, so he appealed to the nation's highest court. The justices have through June 2024 to issue a ruling.
President Biden announced Philadelphia fire departments will receive $22.4 million in a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant. The grant will fund firefighter salaries and allow the city to reopen three fire departments in Philadelphia, including Ladder 1 in the Fairmount community. Last year, the community experienced a tragic fire that killed 12 people. "Being a firefighter isn't what you do, it's who the hell you are," said President Biden as he thanked firefighters and pledged to give them the resources they need to do their job.
