I clerked at the Supreme Court. Last night, I assumed a liberal clerk leaked the draft opinion overturning Roe. Now I think MUCH more likely it was leaked by a conservative fanatically committed to every word of Alito’s monstrous opinion. **🧵**

Hooray for the pending #Title42 repeal - thanks to tireless work by asylum seekers and advocates. Our work's not done: Biden aims to keep deporting Haitians, increase # of people in MPP, and use the 2023 DHS budget to further militarize the border and surveil immigrants.

This story highlights the critical importance of the Boycott Divest and Sanctions Movement () in its demands to not only roll back apartheid but also the settler colonialism and occupation of Palestine!

Just had a repair man over. He is Palestinian. He started shaking when he saw my Gaza poster, bc "most Americans don't know the suffering we've endured." His uncle was executed in front of their family in `48, his family forcibly expelled from their 10 acres of orange groves.

TODAY! Starbucks workers across the national are standing with the #Memphis7. Starbucks chose to selectively enforce policies, that have not been previously enforced, as a pretext to fire union leaders. We will not stand for it.
