Honoring the ongoing fight for Black voting power this Juneteenth with 🔥 Elie Mystal @elienyc.bsky.social on the crucial impact of the Voting Rights Act. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fop...

You have 2 1/2 more days to watch this. It is well worth it. You have to sign up for the newsletter to do so, but it is really worth watching. I recommend the shorter version of the film for busy folks.

Just watched "Democracy Under Siege," the new documentary from @lauranix.bsky.social. Definitely the most important documentary I've seen this year. Should be required viewing for every high school student (and every eligible voter) in America. www.democracyundersiegedoc.org

1/2 Today is World #PressFreedom Day. Media mega-mergers degrade press freedom, journalism and democracy. The Ellisons have captured CBS and eyeing CNN. Want to fight back? Join us for a special event Tuesday 5/5: "Fight media mega-mergers + SCREENING: "Democracy Under Siege" Tiny.cc/undersiege

My co-author @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & I argue in #ScienceUnderSiege (bookshop.org/p/books/scie...) that there is no path toward progress on climate or public health that doesn't go through a functioning democracy. Please check out #DemocracyUnderSiege:

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

On Jan. 6, 2021, bloody insurrectionary violence interrupted the peaceful transfer of power. Today, America is still caught in an epic struggle between selfish forces of rule-or-ruin autocracy & the unyielding defenders of constitutional democracy all over America.

Congratulations to @anntelnaes.bsky.social on winning her SECOND Pulitzer prize today! We are honored to have featured her brilliant work in our film, and are still inspired by her courage and talent. 🙌 Since leaving the Post, you can see Ann's current work at anntelnaes.substack.com

A Strict Scrutiny shout-out for THE TROUBLE OF COLOR from Melissa Murray! Much appreciated love from the sharpest of “legal” minds. crooked.com/podcast/how-...

Just so we're clear.

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

New episode from Professor @leahlitman.bsky.social & @strictscrutiny.bsky.social: crooked.com/podcast/how-... They talk about what rotten laws should be done away with while touching on the latest news, including the detention of Mahmoud Khalil and the dismantling of the Department of Education.

Trump’s Pentagon is erasing Navajo Code Talkers—Indigenous warriors who helped win WWII—from military websites. This isn’t about “efficiency.” It’s about whitewashing history and erasing those who don’t fit his MAGA narrative. MORE: www.axios.com/local/salt-l...
