I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

If you're interested in Trump's position on birthright citizenship, and why it's a stone cold loser unless the Supreme Court departs from both the Constitution & longstanding law, I laid out the arguments back in December. cafe.com/notes-from-c...
Note from Joyce: Birthright Citizenship
Of course, if Trump attempts to end birthright citizenship, there will be lawsuits. And they will likely succeed in the long run.

Two underwater internet cables were severed in the Baltic Sea, reportedly by a Chinese ship captained by a Russian.

The two affected countries, Sweden and Finland, joined NATO after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

“WWIII” doesn’t necessarily look the way some expect.
