As time passes, and especially now when demonstrations and uprisings are taking place in the middle of a global pandemic, the way people advocate evolves and adapts. Career organizers are accustomed to needing to shift and recalibrate amid legislative setbacks when advocating for important issues. Zakiyah Ansari, the advocacy director for the Alliance for Quality…

In some places it’s been individual police expressing their support, as in Hood County, Texas, where an elected constable and member of the far-right paramilitary group Oath Keepers called on that group to “provide security” for a Dallas hair salon. In other places it’s appeared to go up the chain of command, as in Salem, Oregon, where a police…

A clip of the arrest was posted on the organization’s Twitter account in which two unmarked vehicles can be seen stopping a minivan outside of a gas station.

But it’s only “contentious” because the impeached president is making it that way, even pissing off a federal judge earlier this month after the administration claimed that the Supreme Court’s decision ruling that it illegally ended the program had “no basis in law.” A Justice Department attorney walked back that claim in ongoing court proceedings, but then lied by claiming that…

As The New York Times reports, it’s not just a matter of new cases growing in South Texas. This same cluster of small cities also has the worst death rates in the entire country over the last two weeks. In part that’s because the rapid growth of new cases has overwhelmed local health care, but as…

The five-page document describing the charge against Clinesmith shows that he did in fact speak with officials at the unnamed agency and learned that Page had been a source up until 2013. Clinesmith was told that Page was not currently a source—a fact that no one disputes—and provided an email that included information about Page’s past activities. When…

It doesn’t take a law degree to see that the Trump administration has defied court orders by refusing to fully reopen the program as it was in 2012. Instead, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pushed out a memo not only stating that USCIS would “reject all” first-time applicants, it would also slash protections for current beneficiaries. So Pezzi’s…
