So pumped to be featured on @ssrn.bsky.social this week with my newest article on #maternalhealth
This article highlights the poor state of #maternalhealth in the U.S. & argues that legally recognizing traditional birth attendants can improve outcomes & address systemic #inequities.

My mentor and dear friend @raskin.house.gov Jamie Raskin’s words of wisdom today. The judiciary is a critical guardrail of our democracy!
@raskin.house.gov: “We have Obama judges, Biden judges, Reagan judges, Trump judges, all striking down what Trump did. In fact, the Reagan judge said it was the easiest case he'd ever decided in his life. You don't have to be a lawyer to know what's wrong.”

Corporate media with their wall to wall Trump coverage is by design making Trump seem all powerful. In reality Trump had a horrible week and the voices opposing Trump are growing. That is why WE must amplify the Profiles in Resistance. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/more-profi...
More Profiles of Courage, Patriotism and Resistance in standing up to Trump
These are inspiring moments for us!

It's sad that so many media outlets have fallen for all the distractions, from Greenland to Gaza to tariffs that keep getting delayed, when the real goal is Musk's dismantling of the government

The Philadelphia Inquirer gets it. Our latest editorial: www.inquirer.com/opinion/edit...
Trump’s absurd proposals distract from his damaging actions | Editorial
Hullabaloo over Donald Trump's North American trade war feint and Gaza takeover drew attention away from the real dirty work: a purge of federal workers and Elon Musk's unchecked power.

Isabel Wilkerson’s The Warmth of Other Suns is one of the things getting me through these dark times. So many inspirational stories. “the sense of indignation over the injustice of it all and about doing something, anything”

Pretty open and shut here. Democrats won a critical NC supreme court election but corrupt judges on the same court are overturning the result in favor of the loser. How's that work? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Still amazed that the alleged shooter was picked up at a McD’s just a half hour down the road from me, and also . . . McD’s? Corporate greed with a side of hash browns?

Please for real:
But let’s stop calling it DOGE. A federal “Department” has legal significance and must be authorized by Congress - not just by the announcement of a man not yet President and his largest donor.

Think “Department” of Homeland Security. Stop diminishing legal structures by adopting their lexicon.
Frost: Let's be honest about DOGE and this whole thing, it's a joke. Two billionaires who are cosplaying as government officials..

I think the media has blinders on and is getting this wrong. While many legacy outlets are seeing declines, from talking to others, that is not the case for many newer outlets.

For example, Democracy Docket had its best week ever for new paid memberships. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

This was Election Day on Penn State’s campus. I had a sense of foreboding but focused for a moment on beauty. Keep the faith, y’all.
