they're propagandists first and law professors second so they probably do not care. the people who should actually be embarrassed are the supposedly liberal professors who were going to bat for their intellectual honesty and integrity. operating on a level of a dog that understands tone, not words

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies. She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas. Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia. I can't stop thinking about her. 💔

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Fulton Assessors undervalue Ponce City Market by at least $700M - costing us $12M / yr in lost tax. 100s more trophies like it. But they hound low-income heirs of modest homes for a few thousand that they can't afford? Really? Strong reporting. #GApol www.wabe.org/fulton-count...

I want everyone to understand that rescission of 1965 antidiscrimination orders is literally resegregation and for reporters in the room to press them accordingly also the gall of revoking the Equal Employment Opportunity directive. man affirmatively said 'I want unequal employment opportunities'

The symbolism of a homeless man killed by city workers in an effort to make MLKs church more amenable to tourists visiting on MLK day should not be overlooked. I'll be following up on this. www.ajc.com/news/crime/u...

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant no matter what the ICE officer says.

Yesterday, across from Ebenezer Baptist Church—just days before MLK Day, when crowds will gather to honor justice and equality—a homeless man was killed during an encampment sweep by an Atlanta city vehicle. These sweeps are cruel, brutal, and utterly counterproductive in addressing homelessness.
