On June 5, Members of Congress introduced the first bill proactively seeking to prevent the U.S. from sending certain weapons to the Israeli military. Tell your representative to sign on!

Special note to D8: Jamie Raskin has *not* signed on yet, so he needs to hear from as many of us as possible.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Me when people say: “We can’t strike.” I assure you, you can. It may not be legal, but many workers have won big with illegal strikes! 🍞🌹
Anyway I really think we lawyers need to stop saying "can't do that" and start saying "the law does not permit that" because those are two very very different things

There are a lot of bad things happening all at once, and it’s overwhelming to think about how to meet moments like this.

Jean says to focus on 1 or 2 things that you care about, understand fairly well, and are either local or involve a topic where you’re likely to have influence and find community

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.
