So happy to see the new book I wrote with my son is now #1 in Civil Rights on Amazon! It traces the history of civil rights and asks whether we are giving up too much of our liberty in exchange for a false promise of security. Pre-order today! a.co/d/0aaDY6R9 @ucpress.bsky.social

I know it’s not the worst thing he’s done, but those who live, and have lived, in DC know how beautiful the ancient cherry blossom trees are along the Potomac. Heartbreaking to read they are being torn out for another golf course at the President’s request.

A good news change I’ve noticed since returning to the USA. There were a bunch of Trump flags at this yacht club six months ago. Today, I don’t see any.

The reflecting pool fiasco is a perfect reflection of this administration. english.elpais.com/usa/2026-06-...

The enormous fiasco of Trump’s reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial: from Avatar to Shrek
The president spent weeks boasting about the no-bid contracts awarded to two companies for $14.2 million, only to have the water turn green in a matter of days

If you’re pronouncing the “Los” in Los Angeles the same way you’re pronouncing the “Las” in Las Vegas, you’re pronouncing it incorrectly. You’re welcome. 😊 it incorrectly. You’re welcome. 😊 #losangeles #california

Rationalize this action all you want, but the truth is that when lawmakers intentionally redraw maps so Black voters lose their representation, it is a continuation of white supremacy in American politics.

“The U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances." King Charles today in his address to Congress.

Amanda Knox gave a brilliant & thoughtful interview on the Lucy Letby case on Good Morning Britain. Every criminal case deserves a throrough review to make sure we get it right. Those charged with crimes deserve that, as do victims and their families. @amandaknox.bsky.social @amandaknox.com

Once again I showed my class the greatest documentary ever made about wrongful convictions. In “Presunto Culpable,” directed by my friend Roberto Hernandez, you see a wrongful conviction & exoneration in real time. No matter how many times I see it, I always cry.
