Local news keeps it real and protects democracy.
WOW. The California Senate just voted to approved, by 2/3 vote, SB1327, Sen. Glazers bill to provide $500 million for local news, paid for by a tax on the big tech companies. Huge breakthrough.

Were plaintiffs barking up the wrong tree? Thanks to S. Vladeck—for state con law civil pro buffs—can a case be returned to state court after removal to federal court if plaintiff removes claims that are the basis for removal? SCOTUS to review 8th Cir. scotusblog.com/case-files/ca…

Thought-provoking symposium showed state constitutions are a pivotal locus of civil & political rights in a federalist system. Originalists take note, dual sovereignty means states can interpret their own constitutions based on history, tradition and maybe, persuasive counsel
Important conversation @nyulaw @BrennanCenter #StateCourtReport with @hernandezstroud @_sbrett_ @MarcusAGadson Judge Albert Rosenblatt, Dean Robert Schapiro, & Professor Judith Resnik discussing rights of criminal defendants in state constitutional law

What are we concerned about this election day? We are thinking at the precinct level, with concerns that election observers do no more than that, observe. Intimidation and brandishing have no place at the polls. See something, say something.

We have said it before: small town papers are the bulwark of local democracy in many parts of the country. If that’s where you are, read your local paper, support it, and respond to its asks for small dollar donations.
