For the first time since graduating law school ~15 years ago I have a new employer! Excited to announce that I have begun work at the Institute for Progress (IFP) as a Senior Technology Policy Fellow. A thread on IFP and what I’ll be doing there. 🧵 1/7

I wrote about what it was like growing up as a child in the Bosnian civil war, where food was extremely scarce. I didn't have much, but at least UNICEF was there to help keep me alive. Congress just defunded it, putting lives at risk around the world. huffpost.com/entry/trump-cut…

In the midst of Trump battling his MAGA base over the Jeffrey Epstein case, the State Department gutted its office dedicated to combating human trafficking. State officials said the cuts targeted "outdated" and "parochial interests." motherjones.com/politics/202…

Been thinking about this from @pemalevy Watched it the other day & again today. Really spot on. The What: Trump's tariffs will raise costs on everything you buy The Why: Trump is power hungry & wants absolute control. Reward and punishment.
There's a dark truth behind Trump's tariffs: Absolute control.

Thousands of newly obtained documents show that Clearview AI’s founders always intended to target immigrants and the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump administration. @lukeobrien reports: motherjones.com/politics/202…

“The in person social interactions will go away w/o small businesses. It will cause isolation… that’s how the fascism starts… force everyone into their own bubble.” I hadn’t grappled with this yet: small businesses are what make the community but will suffer most with tariffs

Claudia, 77, from DC made a prediction we should be thinking harder about: “change will come from people like me who have nothing to lose.” Indeed, the billionaires, even some law firms and universities, seem to think they have too much to lose to stand up to Trump

As the Trump admin urges government employees to snitch on DEI programs, let's revisit @pemalevy's report on how the GOP increasingly depends on everyday citizens to spy on one another. motherjones.com/politics/202…

"As Trump’s campaign promises a return to a patriarchal society, his is not a vision of an equal society, where both sexes benefit from equal rights" writes @pemalevy. "Instead, it’s a zero-sum contest where one sex prevails." motherjones.com/politics/202…

Texas' SB8, the bounty-hunter abortion ban, went into effect on 9/1/2021. Within 8 days, one woman was dead (that we know of). She had a miscarriage that doctors refused to treat. propublica.org/article/josse…
