From 1851 to 2025. This image shows where we are right now as a country—and it’s not pretty. I can’t believe we’re here. But we will hold onto hope, and keep on struggling, organizing, speaking out, and acting with love and nonviolent resistance. And we will win.

I just canceled my Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle. You should too. They removed Jimmy Kimmel because the FCC threatened to retaliate—a blatant 1st Amendment violation. Among many actions we can take, join the growing boycott!

If it's hard to cancel online, just call 1-888-905-7888.

Every law student in the country, every lawyer, every judge has a pocket copy of the Constitution. And it’s right there in black and white. Article I, Sec. 8: “The Congress shall have Power To…Declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land And Water.”

Drake's lawsuit against his label treats rap diss track lyrics like literal statements of fact akin to a news report. Charis Kubrin, Adam Dunbar, Kyle Winnen and I thought that's a very dangerous assumption, so we filed an amicus brief providing history and context. More at tinyurl.com/drakeamicus

I’ve seen nine presidents. Biden has *by far* been the best, with the slimmest majorities and in the most trying of times. So sad to see him go, but excited as hell for Harris and a new generation to step up.

“With our democracy on the ballot, there is no one more qualified than Vice President Harris to prosecute the case against Donald Trump." Well done, ASDC.
