Amid false claims about non-citizens voting & calls for stricter voter ID laws, this is an apt time to re-circulate "How Real ID Excludes Real Americans," an essay I published last May in @zocalopublicsquare.bsky.social

Right-wing influencers like Johnson were primarily taking aim at homeless and transitional housing — and exaggerating their “findings.” It’s a strategy state election officials have long been aware of. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/rig...

BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers killed a man in Minneapolis, Attorney General Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to Minnesota’s voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids.

This month, airports started enforcing REAL IDs, but acquiring a REAL ID can be challenging, even for U.S. citizens and military veterans. Indeed, it can make some Americans “undocumented.” Read from scholar @catherinesramirez.bsky.social: zps.la/4j0rFMS

When it comes to college rankings, places like UCLA and Stanford often are No. 1. But they're nowhere near the top of a new ranking of CA colleges. Instead, Cal State L.A. is No. 1. The metric by which the schools were judged? Economic mobility. My latest: www.latimes.com/california/s...

When it comes to elevating livelihoods, a CSU degree is tops in California, study says
A ranking of California colleges based on economic mobility for low- and moderate-income students puts institutions such as UCLA and Stanford outside the top 25.
