One good test for a government that puts people over profit-- they curb robocalls.

Don't punch down. Don't laugh at speakers who punch down. Don't buy products from companies that punch down.

It's not "woke," it's good sportsmanship. It's honor. It's chivalry. Don't punch down.

I just visited with Afghan refugee Zia S. who is imprisoned in Plymouth MA unlawfully & unconscionably. He served our nation, putting his life on the line as an interpreter for our troops. He was seized by masked ICE agents with no reason. I will fight for his release.

The ‘Big, Ugly Law’ is kicking millions of Americans off food assistance.

And for what? To give tax breaks to the wealthy so they can buy another yacht?

It’s simply inhumane.

I stand against these cuts and will do everything in my power to reverse them.

Texas shows why the Voting Rights Act is still necessary The 60th anniversary of the VRA can't be just a commemoration. It must be a call to action.

"The attacks on civil rights and democratic institutions are no longer subtle. They are sustained, coordinated, and designed to outlast a single election cycle. This is why the 60th anniversary of the VRA must be a call to action.”

A must-read by DDA senior counsel Diamond Brown:

Penske Corporation founder Roger Penske received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Trump in 2019 and was recently honored at the White House in 2025, where Trump called him “a great friend of mine.”

Alabama immigration advocate detained by ICE in traffic stop, family says: ‘Just heartbreaking and discouraging’ "Her detainment is not only legally questionable — it is morally wrong," a petition demanding her release reads.

In Alabama, another horrible ICE detention story— pulled over for going 1 mile over the speed limit and then put into detention, a woman who earned a masters degree and has become a beloved community advocate. Not a criminal. Someone who contributes to America. www.al.com/news/2025/08...

As Wessel states, now bulldozing the Census. It's critical to note that not counting people "in our Country illegally" violates the constitution. It doesn't speak of citizens or legal status, simply "the whole number of free persons".

If there is an undocumented person who lives on your street now would be a good time to let them know that they can come into your home like they own the place if they come home and see ice in front of their place.

Say it with me

Pull into our space and come on in.

I happened to notice this post of mine from 2019. It’s stunning to realize how clear the agenda was then that he’s advancing with deeper hostility now.

Bannon says he has been pushing for Trump to redo the census like this for 10 years — and Alex Degrasse says between stealing seats in Texas, a new census, and attacking the Voting Rights Act they hope to grab over 40 seats from Democrats.

Remember the beginning of the I.C.E. raids in Los Angeles a few weeks back?

Of the 37 new ICE-victim clients for whom I've provide legal advice and counsel, my team (me, my translator and my P.I.) has reunited our first family.

Celebrating! But gosh, it shouldn't be like this..

Business is the first pillar that supports an authoritarian regime. Quislings will acquiesce to fascism.

Vote with your dollars!!

Hitler made deals to delay, placate, and flatter - but they never meant anything to him or his supporters. The moment they had the power to break those deals, they'd break them, and they'd make sure that the other side was never in position to ever ask for a deal again.
