You lied to us. And the truth is- we won’t tolerate it anymore. Shame on you!

We did the work. We got you into office. We believed what you told us- that you were one of us with the same concerns as the rest of us. And then you unleashed the state thugs on us. Rubber bullets. Tear gas. Punches. Kicks. And you doubled down with a social media posts this morning talking about t

Regulations for AI

As AI becomes more embedded into our American culture, we need to create regulations around what is acceptable for AI to be allowed to do. Why is using AI in a hospital setting okay?

Abuses of Power by ICE at Delaney Hall

Defunding ICE and CBP (and shutting them down) is the only path forward now

I have great concern about the hunger strikes at Delaney Hall in New Jersey, Desert View in Southern California, and other ICE facilities across the country.

After the Supreme Court gutted Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act in Shelby County v. Holder in 2013, the racial turnout gap grew almost twice as much in states formerly covered by Section 5.
