Jack of all trades, linguist, wrong slightly more often than I'd like. Pro-nature, pro-humanity, anti-bully, anti-anyone-misusing-their power, anti-tapioca.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Time for our own mandate. For every citizen ICE arrests. Arrest 4 ICE. Fine the fuck out of them for every single infraction. They will not able to carry weapons…If money is the aim. Let’s play. Yeah the game is rigged. It’s up to US to rig it in our favor.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

Dear Senator Cassidy,

“We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name.

Best,

Proud to stand on the Unite picket line in Birmingham this morning.

Labour-run Birmingham city council tried to fire and rehire bin workers, cut pay by £8,000 & then brought in agency staff to break the strike.

Now those agency workers are on strike too over allegations of bullying & blacklisting.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Regulators need to investigate and hold accountable Epstein’s enablers – and I’ll believe they’re taking action when I see it.

Americans deserve to know that their banking system isn’t facilitating the disturbing crimes of the rich and powerful.
