As the Kent State community and people around the world remember the events of May 4, 1970, KSU Press joins the commemoration with a selection of books on May 4 themes: www.kentstateuniversitypress.com/category/may4/

Justice Sotomayor is such an important moral voice on this Court, I wish she didn't have to do this from dissents so much.

Thrilled to have published my first op-ed in @bloombergnews.bsky.social on the topic of consumer #litigationfunding ! Rachel McCarthy and I are proud to be helping The Milestone Foundation spread the word about this critical access to justice issue. news.bloomberglaw.com/legal-exchan...

As maniacs in DC and Israel plan for another slaughter that will sink the world into further chaos, remember active duty that there is no declaration of war, Iran is not a threat to the American people, and YOU HAVE A DUTY to refuse illegal orders. www.veteransforpeace.org/take-action/...

Will Democrats continue to be more loyal to foreign politicians than they are to the U.S. public?

On the war's fourth anniversary, Russia occupies 20 percent of Ukraine's territory, but the front line shifts slowly.

It's crazy how much terrible racist policy of caging human beings is being driven by the political contributions and profit margins of the private prison industry. It's a repulsive mistake for us to have a system in which powerful people get richer by warehousing huge #s of people with no oversight

Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam. We won’t stop until all children and families are home.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Thrilled to share that I have joined The Milestone Foundation as its new Director of Development! I look forward to working with plaintiff attorneys and advocates to ensure more people can pursue justice without sacrificing their financial futures! www.linkedin.com/posts/the-mi...

This website is a very comprehensive list of ways to give in Minnesota right now - immigrant support organizations, mutual aid funds, and more. A big thank you to @ziibiing for putting this together! FOLLOW AND SHARE!!! Abolish ICE! End the occupation! www.standwithminnesota.com

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

I’m very proud of the work that @fpbland.bsky.social and his colleagues do on this and other human rights issues. Keep up the fight!

Leqaa Kordia has been held by ICE since her arrest in March 2025. Her attorneys say the White House is targeting the last remaining Columbia University protester in custody for her activism, using racism and procedural tricks to prevent her release. mondoweiss.net/2026/01/the-...

"[A]n immigration judge has twice ordered [Leqaa Kordia's] release ... [F]ilings with the [BIA] have left Kordia in a state of continuous legal limbo. If deported, Kordia will be turned over to the Israeli government, which has killed almost 200 members of her family during the genocide in Gaza."

America is always like “ok but the NEXT regime change will work,” like when I “cut out carbs” briefly every January.

This is the video.

“If we hope to realize the equity and justice visualized in our civil rights statutes, we must prioritize the eradication of unlawful policies and procedures that further disparate impact discrimination.” - Attorney @tabithawoodruff.bsky.social, submitted as part of our comments.

Well done @publicjustice.bsky.social & @raicestexas.bsky.social & @legalaidnyc.bsky.social & @freemigration.bsky.social & the NYU Immigrant Rights Clinic & Covington Burling LLP!!!

BREAKING: We just filed a federal class action lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s civil fines that force immigrants to choose between self-deportation or penalties up to $1.82M each. https://legalaidnyc.org/news/federal-immigration-fines-unconstitutional/

This week was my last week at Public Justice, as my position (and a half dozen others) have been phased out. I am so grateful for the time I had at this org! I do not know what the future holds for me, but wherever I land, I will still be rooting for the inspiring advocates at Public Justice.

Israeli authorities are refusing to let in 600 aid trucks per day as specified in ceasefire deal, UN official says.

Pretty telling that ICE custody deaths spiked under Bush and Trump. www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

US groups demand release of American-Palestinian teen imprisoned by Israel More than 100 organizations advocate for freedom of 16-year-old dual citizen detained for more than six months www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Unidentified bodies with missing limbs washed ashore on Trinidad’s coast after the U.S. carried out its first strike on a boat in the Caribbean. In Trinidad, some are questioning whether the prime minister’s hesitance to cross the Trump administration is keeping residents from getting answers.

Another danger lies in Dems championing a “trained ICE” as somehow better than what we have now.

As fed power tries to turn Chicago into a war zone, community defenders, rapid response teams, & city leaders build sanctuary & share Know Your Rights. Chicago proves safety is solidarity. Neighbors protect neighbors, refuse to be divided, and plant seeds for change. jacobin.com/2025/10/chic...

You don't get more conservative with age, it's just the honest version of you comes out

Today’s SCOTUS “decision” marks another day of doublespeak and racism. Is it the shittiest ever. Nah. But it’s up (down?) there at the top/bottom. Need help with the details? I do. Thankfully, we have people like @sifill.bsky.social in our world. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Berger Montague obtained the largest-ever verdict against a gun dealer. The jury awarded $62 million after a gun dealer flooded Baltimore with deadly ghost guns. The award is ten times larger than the previous record. bergermontague.com/news/largest...

#Gaza: On Aug. 23, heavy gunfire broke out while people were gathered around one of our water-trucking distribution points in #KhanYounis. Demand protection for civilians and humanitarian aid. Sign: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/now-more-tha... Update: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-ms...

I’ve learned much about grieving f/ Jewish activists through the “Three Weeks” & Tisha B’Av recently. Just as I don’t believe Christianity is the white nationalism that Trump preaches, I don’t believe Judaism is the bloodlust that Netanyahu, Sen. Schumer, or their accomplices preach. #FreePalestine

Watch our colleague Mohammed Abu Mughaisib, Deputy Medical Coordinator, explain how starvation destroys the body. Health workers in #Gaza are starving alongside their patients as Israeli authorities use hunger as a weapon. Learn more: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-ms...

In Gaza, children are starving, families are shattered, and our teams are barely surviving. The world must act now. 📄 Full statement by Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini at the #2states4peace conference: www.unrwa.org/newsroom/off...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just greenlit most of the Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the Department of Education BUT there is still an active order requiring the government to reinstate staff at the Office for Civil Rights.

Oral argument in our case Dunn v. Sante Fe is TOMORROW (Wed., July 16th) in the Tenth Circuit at 10 AM MDT/12 PM ET! Kudos to Hannah Kieschnick, @lnicholls.bsky.social, and our friends at Gupta Wessler LLP for their impressive work on this case. You can listen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjtt...

After 11 1/2 years here legally + ALREADY winning asylum, US govt REVOKED Imam Ayman Solimon's status + DETAINED him in Cincinnati. They're taking him to a notoriously VIOLENT + RACIST immigration jail in rural Ohio, forcing him to win his case AGAIN or be KILLED. www.instagram.com/reel/DL5TJrg...

“Imam Ayman Soliman came to the United States at least seven years ago from Egypt, according to federal court records, and received asylum status in June 2018.” 😢💔 www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2...

“ICE will have twice as many agents as the FBI and will have its own huge and growing prison system (which it operates independently) as its masked and un-uniformed officers continue to snatch people off of the streets and mete out violence as they see fit.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-americ...

The closure of the rapid testing site in Crown Heights marks the end of an era in New York—not the end of COVID, but of the City's official effort to detect and contain it.

Earlier this week, @lnicholls.bsky.social & @lu-ci-a.bsky.social filed our reply brief in the 11th Circuit in Whitfield v. Selene Finance. Check it out here: www.publicjustice.net/case_brief/w...

This new ICE budget is a historic increase in money for military force against civilians within the United States. Trump’s lawless Gestapo is now armed & able to throw not just immigrants into their concentration camps without criminal charges or court hearings - but any of us.

Uranus is conjunct Venus at 29 degrees in Taurus. Resources are being stolen from the people; the fabric of society is being shredded & attacked. This is Uranus’ last stop before entering Gemini — when we will be given two stark options to choose from. “What side are you on, my people?”
