81 years since Auschwitz was liberated—81 years since the world was forced to confront the depths of human cruelty. We remember the six million Jews murdered. We honor the survivors. And we carry the duty to ensure Never Again is not words, but a promise.

@markzaidesq.bsky.social (and his law firm), along with the amazing Kevin Carroll got this done. Thanks to Mark, Kevin and the firm.... The line “Let’s kill all the lawyers” is making the point that tyrants must first eliminate the rule of law and those who uphold it. Guys like Mark and Kevin.
My law firm sent demand letter on behalf of @thesteadystate.org to DHS to seek renouncement of statements by Border Patrol official Greg Bovino that there will be “consequences” for those who exercise 1st Amendment protected activity.

When government agencies injure and kill people in the name of "enforcement," it's time to draw a line in the sand. Over 1,000 organizations, joined by DemCast USA, are demanding: No more funds for ICE & CBP. We can protect everyone's dignity. Congress must act now. Call your MOC

Q: Do you believe Noem has committed impeachable acts?

Trump’s Spending Bill means fewer people will have food on their table – by design.
