A win for democracy advocates in Arkansas:

This spring, I wrote the GOP had passed a real barrage of laws there to effectively kill the ballot initiative process. See below.

A federal judge yesterday granted a preliminary injunction against many of the laws: arkansasadvocate.com/2025/11/19/j...

November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance, where we acknowledge and honor the trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming lives cut short by anti-trans violence.

Trans and nonbinary people deserve more than equality – they deserve safety, dignity, joy, and above all else deserve to grow old.

This is why I talk about sheriffs a lot when it to comes to immigration: they decide (in most states) on whether to hold people for ICE at all!
ICE abducted Leticia Jacobo and tried to deport her, she is Native American.

Polk County Sheriff’s Office, which held her for ICE, admitted that it was a ‘clerical error’.

Her family fought through layers of bureaucracy to stop her from being disappeared.

Ruby Bridges was just six years old when she walked to school and changed the course of history. Thanks to AJR159, sponsored by Assemblywoman Shavonda Sumter and Assemblyman Anthony S. Verrelli and signed into law earlier this year, every November 14 is now Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day.

Early voting is complete in New York City! What we know:

735,317 people have voted.

That's more than four times the early total in 2021, and it's 67.5% of the early voting total in 2024.

In 2 days, Donald Trump will cut off SNAP benefits for more than 3 million New Yorkers. Not because the USDA doesn't have the money, but because he thinks starving people helps him politically.

@reprileyny.bsky.social and I led a letter demanding that Trump reverse course and fund SNAP now.
