Last week, my narration of The Body was released, just in time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Stand By Me.

Today, we got a lovely mention and review in Kirkus, and I'm just so proud of what we did. This project is deeply personal and special to me, and I love that it's getting noticed.

If Defend 612 was a city department they would give a presentation to the city council with a slideshow charting their amazing response times. And brag about not using any of their overtime budget, because they have no budget.

This will be something that seems like a drop in our daily dumpster fire life, but mark my words, it will be cited in history books.

It often feels like you can't get a lot of leverage against big companies like this, but I that law firms en masse walking away from Westlaw would be a huge hit, and firms large and small should consider it. Law schools too (I say, regretfully, having had full WL access for teaching for 15+ years)

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

The Racist Beginnings of School Vouchers | NEA From segregation academies to universal “choice,” the hidden history shaping today's voucher expansion.

Vouchers were first used after Brown v. Board to avoid integrating public schools. Today, they still operate outside the civil rights and accountability standards that guide public education, and a new federal voucher program could divert $50 billion from public schools nationwide.

This is the eighth death in ICE custody in the last seven weeks.

I’m 1st gen Norwegian-American and have been reconnecting a lot recently. It’s remarkable to me, as an American, how little of the winner/loser mentality they have, compared to here.

Your success doesn’t depend on someone else’s failure whereas that’s so built in here you don’t think about it.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter
