Attention Missouri friends! I’ll be in Jefferson City the end of this week, giving a talk in the beautiful Capitol Rotunda. Thank you to MADP for sponsoring this event! I hope to see you there!

Thank you to @scadeathpenalty.bsky.social for sponsoring this incredible event. Hope to see you there!

Hi Columbia, SC, peeps! In the wake of Easter, I’ll be in Columbia, SC, talking about Faith, Redemption, and Death Row at Shandon UMC on April 26! I’m so excited to be in fellowship with this amazing congregation!

Let’s go Atlanta! Ready or not here I come! 😉

I am truly honored to be the keynote speaker for the program “Justice or Injustice? Moral & Legal Questions Around Capital Punishment” this afternoon at Georgia State University College of Law hosted by the Consulate General of Belgium 🇧🇪 & supported by @gfadp.bsky.social

The talk is entitled “Every Knee Must Bend: What the Death Penalty Requires from the Rule of Law.” It’s hard to imagine another area that is more corrosive to the rule of law than the death penalty. See you there!

I’m so excited to be on my way to Cali for @pacificmcgeorge.bsky.social 2026 symposium on “The Rule of Law Under Pressure” where I have the honor of being the morning’s featured speaker!

SECRETS OF THE KILLING STATE author @corinnabarrettlain.bsky.social discusses the legal system on Brief Recess: A Legal Podcast with @michael-foote.bsky.social and Mélissa Malebranche.

Thank you to everyone for hosting me and for all the ways you work to make the world a better place! ❤️

And since Florida is the place to go for spring break, I went too. I had a great talk with law students at the University of Florida Levin College of Law and a wonderful time at @thelynxbooks.bsky.social

Then I was off to Dallas for a talk at the amazing @smutsaicenter.bsky.social Those students were so impressive!

My break began in Houston, where I had the honor of being the keynote speaker for the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty’s 2026 Annual Conference and Awards Luncheon.

As spring break winds down, here’s my late-breaking spring break wrap up.

I am so excited to announce that this Wednesday, I am doing an event at my alma mater @wm.edu and with my daughter Jessica Lain. It’s open to the public and I hope to see you all there!

Big Oil spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024.

Now Trump is returning the favor, giving them advance notice of his Venezuela attack and inviting them to the White House to discuss how they will divvy up control of the country's oil.

Oligarchy in action.

Week 1. We invaded Venezuela. We killed the ACA subsidies. We destroyed the Kennedy Center. We murdered a woman in cold blood over deportations. We threatened Greenland, now we are offering them $100,000 per person to allow us to take over their country.
First 7 days. Can we survive a year of this?

As Tensions Flare in Minneapolis, We Learn That the Shooting of Renee Good Is Even Worse Than Originally Believed The second day after the horrific killing brought new revelations that made an unthinkable tragedy and apparent government-sponsored crime worse than it already was—which had once seemed impossible.

I want to be frank with you all: this is a *very* tough read.

But it is fully factual, fully sourced, and full of necessary truths about where we are and what is about to happen in America.

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER:

“.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish ..

“.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."

“Can we check her pulse?”

“No! Back up! Now!”

“I’m a physician.”

“I don’t care.”

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

First, they lied about what we saw on video when ICE killed Renee Good.

Now, they're politicizing the investigation by freezing out Minnesota authorities, so the full truth may never see the light of day.

They are breaking our country. We must continue demanding accountability.

This entire regime consists of depraved sociopaths.

An ICE agent saying "I don't care" and preventing an innocent woman who's been shot from receiving medical care are not the words or actions of officers lawfully protecting themselves and the community. These are the words of sociopaths happy with murder.

ICE agents killing people in the streets. The naked extortion of a sovereign state. The National Guard unleashed in American cities. The Justice Department weaponized to prosecute political opponents.

The tyranny is on full display — and it's waking America up.

Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line: “If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.”
