Thank you to This is Our Lane Advisory Council member @robincogan.bsky.social and survivor-activist @nelbamg.bsky.social for reminding us that survival is activism. Treating gun violence as a public health issue is how we save lives and honor those we’ve lost.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Opinion | Our Politics Differ, But We Agree: Trump’s ‘Compact’ Violates Academic Freedom Using federal funding to dictate who colleges admit and what faculty can say crosses a dangerous line.

This is a remarkable piece. Conservative AND liberal legal scholars come out TOGETHER to condemn Trump’s compact for higher education. www.chronicle.com/article/our-...

If public outrage can restore a talk show host in days, then surely we can summon that same energy for safe schools. The task ahead is to make the prevention of needless deaths just as urgent as the defense of free expression.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.
