Naive fellow progressives cheering the murder of Charlie Kirk don't recognize their own privilege. A lot of the world understands how quickly political violence becomes an epidemic. CK was awful & his influence deeply troubling. But he didn't "deserve" this. We can't continue down this road.

An excellent explanation of why Trump’s decision to fire the Bureau of Labor Statistics administrator is potentially disastrous. #Labor #Statistics #Economy

Keep in mind that, while the president likely can pardon a federal official found in criminal contempt of court, the pardon power does not extend to civil contempt.

A small #election bringing big signs of hope. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/u...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

A few days after this column ran, the Alabama Senate dropped the language echoing the Fugitive Slave Act from one of the bills in its anti-immigrant package.

Good to scale a low bar, I guess. But still: Lots of ugly crap — including high fees on international remittances — remains before lawmakers.

#FederalEmployees who are let go should immediately determine if they are eligible to apply for UCFE (Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees).

Terrific OpEd by the brilliant Kyle Whitmire about the Alabamization of the #RuleOfLaw in the U.S. www.al.com/news/2025/02...

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

In light of Trump's recent attacks on the #freepress, I thought I'd re-post my CNN.com op-ed from 2016. I hope the news media and opinion writers remain fearless. If we can't hold Trump accountable over the next four years, #democracy is, for all practical purposes, over. www.cnn.com/2016/08/29/o...

Stop what you’re doing and watch the premier of #Separated on MSNBC, starting at 9 pm ET tonight. The horrific story of the Trump administration’s policy of ripping apart immigrant families.

Important article quoting our brilliant associate, Grace Starling. www.newsweek.com/map-shows-st.... Georgia needs real worker protections. #discrimination #harassment #sexualharassment #workersrights

Things I do for fun when I’m not fighting for justice. #DryerVentCleaning (the “fun” part is a total lie… but truth evidently doesn’t matter these days).

The prospect of another Trump-era pandemic—particularly with complete nut jobs soon to be at the helm of federal public health agencies, is terrifying. I hope things are set in motion ASAP to address this. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/o... #H5N1 #flu

Thrilled to be on @bsky.app. I’ll remain a reluctant user of the other platform for now. I’m looking forward to making the full switch to BlueSky, assuming the other platform continues to be awful, its owner continues his mad dash to fascism, and BlueSky manages to grow and not suck.
