Today a neighbor complained to me and my kids that the fort they’d made on our patio was not “aesthetic” and was like homeless
people had moved in. She did this while holding her naked breasts over her balcony. “I didn’t know kids lived here,” she said, of an 18 story highrise in Amdam north . . .

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech.
The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

And please don't forget that the SAVE Act requires in-person voter registration (in many states that means every year). This will disenfranchise Americans abroad (or force them to pay to travel to the US), including the military, as well as the elderly and disabled. Stop the #SAVEAct !
The SAVE Act is a poll tax.
Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money.
As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1￠, no one should have to pay to vote.

The NYT reports DOGE has recommended cuts that would likely result in the shutdown of the NEH. This would gut Tennessee Humanities, which funds the excellent Southern Festival of the Book, as well as Chapter 16--the only outlet in TN that still reviews books. This is heartbreaking.

No joke. On Tuesday, Trump issued an extraordinary Executive Order that would give “the DOGE Administrator,” that is, Elon Musk, access to the voter files of every state for the purpose of purging millions of Americans from voter rolls as suspected “non-citizens.” open.substack.com/pub/gregpala...

Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges.
There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.
