Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

Watch the NBC footage from last night, showing the overly aggressive and reckless tactics used by law enforcement last night, harming protesters, reporters, drivers and nearby passer-bys. The crowd also included children who were attacked with chemical weapons. Make sure to watch it to the end.

Trump is using ICE to terrorize our cities. He is using DOJ to target his political opponents. He will eventually try to steal the 2026 election. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and unbowed. Become a member now to help support its work and to stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Watching grievance governance bounce off courts, markets, and the Constitution is grim and oddly instructive. When intimidation meets competence, the results look a lot like #slapstick. #uspolitics #doj #kakistocracy #authoritarianism

Trump is clearly ready to turn his illegal use of our military on other countries around the world.
The only thing he says can stop him? His “own morality."
This, from a man with no ethical compass. The Senate must stop him.

Where is the business community and corporate leaders of Minnesota based companies in speaking up? Why aren't the big law firms sending lawyers to represent the people being attacked?

In February, Elon Musk posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He asked if we suffered childhood trauma and concluded by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This was my response.
