Thanks to The Ringer for republishing my 2022 piece on 'Nebraska' amidst the excitement surrounding 'Deliver Me From Nowhere'. It's one I'm very proud of- both a celebration of a transcendent album and a melancholy reckoning with the broken American labor movement. www.theringer.com/2022/12/14/m...

Talked last week about reports that VA rule changes could allow doctors to discriminate against Democrats and unmarried veterans.
TLDR: This is not what we do in America. It’s unpatriotic, and it’s illegal.

This from Rubio is misleading in important ways.
1. These children are constitutionally entitled to remain in the country if someone wants to assume their care.
2. The families' lawyers are claiming that no meaningful opportunity was given to determine that.
3. That's a due process problem.

Civil resistance works.
Between 1900 and 2006, major nonviolent movements succeeded 53% of the time. This is nearly twice as often as violent resistance campaigns.
The data is clear: people power is a force stronger than arms.
