60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became a landmark law against racial discrimination in elections. My latest @npr.org story is about the new threats facing the law’s remaining protections for minority voters

They're building a security infrastructure far beyond what would ever be needed for basic immigration enforcement. They will eventually attempt to use it against U.S. citizens for non-immigration matters. Get prepared.

Hope. Mamdani’s success (NYC’s success!) is much needed good news at a time when good news is in short supply. My plea to Blue and Left leaders is to study and learn from his campaign, the inclusivity and solidarity. Dissent is achieved when we get in the same line, together.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

Criminal enough that he did it without Congressional approval… but turns out he briefed republicans ahead and democrats later. Are we ready yet? Has he done enough? Is it finally time?

Holding the duality of relief that today was a success for those who stood up in the face of tyranny and the heartache that an assassin filled with hatred shattered the lives of so many in Minnesota. Sending my love to all who need or want it.

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

Mainstream media sent the National Guard to LA almost as surely as Trump, Miller, Hegseth and their little band of evil did #RecordEverything

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Taylor’s Version of grabbing back her art, her intellectual property and pieces of herself

The pop star's early catalog was acquired in 2019 and sold again in 2020, igniting a years-long saga in which Swift set out to re-record new versions of the albums to compete with the originals.

For the past year and a half, there has been a spike in anti-semitism and anti-Arab and anti-Muslim violence in Europe and US. Hatemongers have used the tragedy in Gaza to further divisions and exploit our communities. Call them out and don't fall for it. Be on the side of justice and peace.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss
