The best way to cover this would be to tell the case law stories that resulted in policy and regs.

klynner.bsky.social•78 days ago

Then tell the stories of the experts who filled roles in enforcement and support.

This should be Trump’s motto: ‘Never let those little things like basic human rights and laws get in the way of a super ick photo op’. I’d file for a copyright but what’s intellectual property protection even mean now.

bucker00haiku.bsky.social•78 days ago

We need to start demanding Human Rights for all! Not just civil rights, but human rights.

I’ve changed hands, the beat is rather different.

What are your plans to include people with disabilities? We often get left out of civil rights topics. Please make sure you have a clear intent and purpose specifically for this as well.

Very needed. Good luck.

bstaples.bsky.social•78 days ago

And your work will be without end

splatterthought.bsky.social•78 days ago

Thank you.

And...

Congratulations.

You just turned my occasional donation into a monthly subscription.

Tell your boss this is why.

hereticvirago.bsky.social•78 days ago

Thanks for posting this; I'm FOLLOWING you now and will advise others to do so, too!

Best wishes on a safe and successful beat!

You're doing important work. God bless you

bschillace.brandyschillace.com•78 days ago

Nice work! Do you think @propublica.org would want something regarding the history of now? My book is about the attacks on trans people ahead of Nazi Holocaust and the way anti LGBTQ (and anti women) rhetoric is canary in the coal mine. It’s not exactly civil rights—but then again it is

shockeddaily.bsky.social•78 days ago

Seems Trump admin is saying "Don't like it? Well, sue us, and let's see how well it goes for you. Can't sue us? Sucks to be you."

Is the right concerned about US citizens getting caught in this, or are they only concerned about Jan 6 "tourists"?

And yet one more reason to toss some $$ to this excellent news organization.

He wants to be Hitler. It's that simple. Someone needs the balls to enact the 25th amendment and get him out.

areformersadvocate.bsky.social•78 days ago

That was tried by many consultants and diplomats in Trump 1.0. Emoluments and conflict of interest don’t matter to this MAGA.

orion64.bsky.social•77 days ago

Sadly, true. But I'll never stop agitating for it. The bandage is off showing how terrible so many Americans are.

jennburrill.bsky.social•78 days ago

What about all those kids who are going to lose their IEPs when Dept of Ed shuts them down

areformersadvocate.bsky.social•78 days ago

IEPs still federal law with or without funding. More expertise to answer these things I go to Edsource, CA education journalists.

japlail.bsky.social•78 days ago

Is that low hanging fruit? Yes, but all that racism needs to be documented. Thank you.

Hello, new friend. Excellent piece. Let’s talk!

It's good beat. But it won't be upbeat...

Spoiler: there are no civil rights under T.

Just followed. Thank you!

areformersadvocate.bsky.social•78 days ago

If you’re a reporter you believe in freedom of the press. As an educator I believe that my work develops citizens. I fear that the technolords believe in neither. And since nations with laws will be demolished security forces not loyal to them should be deleted.

areformersadvocate.bsky.social•78 days ago

If criminalizing them can get rid of the law abiding ones it could serve their goals. Musk and Thiel very open writers on this imaginary gaming hellscape. We are all NPCs in a game they control. We can be deleted or added anytime. I swear I’m no conspiracy theorist but have

areformersadvocate.bsky.social•78 days ago

Enough training and experience with autism, mania and social sciences to see a glimpse of it. But you tell me. I’m still hoping Bandy X Lee will show up with criminal profiles for them. Maybe ProPublica could get her to profile them?

areformersadvocate.bsky.social•78 days ago

Middle school and social sciences research librarian. Please cover his capacities under his new IEEPA, as if Putin had that power. He might. That’s educated guess but covering IEEPA is vital. Much wider authority than this article. Read Bandy X Lee too.

Not only do they not care, they are actively trying to undo the whole civil rights movement and erase a century’s worth of progress.

dnmnb.bsky.social•78 days ago

Good luck!
