We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

Imported products also help to employ American workers. Port, trucking, and warehouse employees are being paid. The conversation is only about manufacturing jobs, not about all the other jobs that are alive because we can make it in other countries and sell it for a price people are willing to pay.

Letter-writing among African American families is a centuries-old tradition. The Black family has constantly been under threat, their unions neither protected nor acknowledged in a court of law. Nevertheless, they wrote during slavery and some more to find loved ones after the civil war.

That expression “The things we own, own us” isn’t wrong – we’ve just been conditioned to not clearly see how freaking owned we are. *** I like the idea of gaining for time, instead of spending it on shopping or searching for nonessential things. There's the real value in this exercise.

Worth the read***Enrage to engage is a strategy. It’s not just the bots that are gaming the algorithms through mass amplification. It’s also the algorithms that are gaming us. We’re being subtly manipulated by social media. We know it. But we keep on scrolling.

Alarmed by declining birth rates, modern eugenicists hope to repopulate their ideal world via "selective breeding" and restoring the "natural hierarchy", where men dominate.

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

Nawfal is the prime example of news brokering. News-focused influencers on X are taking content and limelight from newsrooms during major breaking news events. X is a paradise for them because they don't do any screening. Nawfal said it's not his team's job to vet posts for accuracy.

Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. Those attempts were blocked, but whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password.

Of the 400m tonnes of plastic produced in 2022, just under 9.5% was produced from recycled plastic, 98% of the remainder was produced from fossil fuels. A significant increase of plastic is disposed of by incineration, with just 27.9% of plastic waste disposed of in 2022 actually being recycled.

Trump's tariffs are going to hurt a lot of people, which means we need community leaders who will step up and support our friends, family, and neighbors. If you can be that for the people in your circle, do it. They need you.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

"It’s worth remembering that for all their power and might, the overwhelming majority of Biglaw has been eerily silent on the matter. But not elite boutique law firms. Elias Law Group Chair Marc Elias has been vocal in his commitment to the cause and Keker Van Nest came out swinging."
