the horrors persist, but so do we
take care of one another
listen attentively
observe closely
read real books
go for walks
hold hands
take naps
say yes
say no
laugh
cry
be

In an overwhelming number of private conversations and public dialogues, I have given and heard testimony about the mounting lovelessness in our culture and the fear it strikes in everyone’s heart.”

- bell hooks, 2001

GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secretary-tells-hegseth-no-montana

Kamala Harris explicitly says she's thinking about running for president again, electrifying a crowd of thousands at Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network.

There's a lot being shared right now about China's incredible shift towards renewable energy - and rightly so.

But this, from the UK, is equally astonishing & encouraging.

It's not just that change can happen. It's that it *is* happening.

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

Angus: This is a president who says the only constraint on his actions is not Congress, not the courts, not international law, but, quote, “my own morality, my own mind.”

There is no morality in a man accused of being a rapist…

Almost 6 million people are supervised by the nation’s vast network of prisons, jails, probation, and parole.

Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma have the highest imprisonment rates in the country.

with respect to my friends in the academy, even if you take the claim at face value, the response to ‘seven prominent law professors agree’ is ‘who cares’

law profs comment on the law and inform the courts and the public. they don’t make law and you can find seven prominent idiots in any field.

Rarely has a people had such an *opportunity* to stop the evils of their government as we do right now. If we impeach and remove Trump, we will avert additional crimes against humanity. If we do not, history will judge us harshly. All of us. Yes, even me and you.

SEVEN whole law professors?!

Here I was thinking that what mattered was every single judge who has ruled on the issue, 125+ years of accepted understanding of the 14th, and centuries of common law on the contours of jus soli. But if Ilan Wurman's side has SEVEN law professors, man, WOW. It's over.

2/2. Trump used the Iran War as a pretext to lift energy sanctions on Russia, and even personal sanctions on individual Russians. Does anyone expect those to be reimposed? Of course not.

1/2. Notice that after losing the war Trump threatens his allies rather than Russia — even though Russia quite literally helped Iran defeat the US and he knows it.

We had a PACKED house in Kearney last night for our town hall where we talked about why we need to end Citizens United so that corporations can’t continue to rig our elections with their money.
