This is ridiculous

58 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled on the side of our clients Mildred and Richard Loving, legalizing interracial marriages nationwide.

This Loving Day, we honor the generations of families who were torn apart by anti-miscegenation laws and celebrate the couple that changed history.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.

They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Ousting of Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla Hayden Sends a Message: Comply or Be Fired - PEN America PEN America said today it is deeply disturbed by the firing of Dr. Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress, for reasons the White House identified as related to โ€œdiversityโ€ programming and her choices...

"The firing of Dr. Hayden is a Kremlineque move to suppress ideas and to send a chill through the leadership of cultural and educational institutions," said PEN Americaโ€™s Hadar Harris. "The message seems obvious: Comply or be fired."

I feel like we've been saying this forever but it's worth saying again.
Book bans do not exist in a vacuum. They're not one off events. Book bans are the canary in the coal mine.
They usher in an era of censorship, fascism, violent scapegoating.
Authors, join the fight:

Now Is the Time for Courage From Marc | I started Democracy Docket to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy.

This is what I wrote in December 2024 and what I continue to believe today.

Trump is a bully and bullies prey on the weak. They understand the power of fear and exploit it. Capitulating to Trump makes you more vulnerable, not less. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/now-...

Judge strikes down Trump order targeting Perkins Coie law firm U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, who called the executive order an attack on the American judicial system, said Trumpโ€™s directive โ€œviolates the Constitution and is thus null and void.โ€

This decision striking down President Trump's unconstitutional executive order reaffirms that our judicial system exists to protect our rights, not carry out his agenda.

With our right to legal representation under attack, Perkins Coie fought back and won.
