It’s not just liberal judges blocking Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship.
A Reagan-appointed judge called it “blatantly unconstitutional.”
Our courts have been clear: Trump is wrong and birthright citizenship is the law.

All these decades later, we remain in that struggle - for justice, for our democracy, for the future. The work of making for a more perfect union continues.
May our history inspire us, inform us, and instruct us in the work ahead.

71 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.
After generations of struggle and sacrifice, the supreme law of the land finally bent toward hard-won justice.

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

It’s Colorado Public Lands Day–a reminder that Colorado’s public lands are the backbone of our outdoor recreation economy and way of life. Now more than ever, we must keep fighting to protect these lands and the land management employees who preserve them for future generations.

Every community in Michigan should be a place where your kids can be safe, your job can support your family, and your voice is heard. That’s what it means to #StandTALL for Michigan, and that’s why I’m in this fight.

It's physically painful to watch society get less and less intelligent & more evil, weird, and devoid of empathy every single day.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election.
Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.
