I LEARN THESE FIVE SENTENCES TODAY AT AN @ACLU.ORG WEBINAR FOR PROTESTERS:

"Am I free to go?"

"I wish to remain silent."

"I do not consent to this search."

"Am I under arrest?"

This is a grassroots campaign:

“Abughazaleh reports over $1.1 million in individual contributions under $200, making up around 74% of her contribution totals.
In contrast, over 90% of Biss’ campaign contributions come from big-money donations of over $200.”

Why does Prop 50 matter?

Texas lawmakers redrew maps to steal seats. Gene Wu explains why a #YESon50 vote means defending our democracy, fair representation, and immigrant communities. We must not let Trump carve away power.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them

Friendly reminder that Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir drops Tuesday and contains the truth she wanted the world to hear about those who abused her and the cost of silence.

Buy it. Read it. Give the woman some justice.

Although the rallies were peaceful and even joyful, that didn’t stop figures on the right, including the president, from having outsized reactions to the day’s events.

We will NEVER get to 3.5% if people keep waiting for a revolution to get involved. Guess what, this is the revolution. No, it doesn’t look at that fantasy book, SciFi series or graphic novel you read, and it’s not going to.

It’s going to look like this.

It was all very gratifying to witness. Now it's time for Phase Two -- massive, economy disrupting strikes and shutdowns. I know that's a big ask.

Having another "No Kings" type demonstration at some later date? That would be letting Trump off easy. Strikes will hit hard and fast.
