I’m pleased to announce that following our reporting, multiple people have reported that a formal inquiry is being made into SEGM’s accreditation, and that the CME courses are at least temporarily pulled down.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

F.C.C. Changes Course on the Price of Prisoners’ Phone Calls

Today was a hard day. Regulations that we passed unanimously last year, after 7 years of advocacy, were largely gutted. The FCC capitulated to the correctional telecom industry in roughly doubling rate caps for prison and jail calls. I'm truly sorry.

Black graphic with a black and white photo of Cecilia Gentili and a quote that reads "Some people believe in respecting my rights, they will lose some of their own. But equality is an endless cake. The more who eat from it, the more there is to share." The quote is attributed to Cecilia Gentili, activist for transgender and sex workers' rights, for LGBTQ History Month.

Cecilia Gentili was a fearless advocate for trans people and sex workers. She successfully helped to repeal New York’s β€œWalking While Trans” law that police unjustly used to stop and frisk countless trans women.

Cecilia passed away in 2024, but her legacy lives on in our fight for liberation.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.
