Rob Reiner is absolutely right: We're seeing a rise in Christian Nationalism in this country - and that's exactly what Norman Lear founded People For to fight against.

Thank you for calling attention to this issue, both in this interview and in your new documentary, @RobReiner.

.@theNormanLear's words from so many years ago still ring true today.

Norman Lear had the vision and foresight to found People For and bring us together to fight authoritarianism and protect our democracy. We will continue the work he started.

I'll tell you this: None of us like Mitch McConnell because of the horrible things he's said and done as Senator.

But he had a medical incident today, and I saw a lot of well-wishers on our side. As it should be.

'The three Justices of color on this Court graduated from elite universities and law schools with race-conscious admissions programs, and achieved successful legal careers, despite having different educational backgrounds than their peers.'

👀 Ketanji Brown Jackson has a two-part footnote on Clarence Thomas.

She says he 'responds to a dissent I did not write... demonstrates an obsession with race consciousness that far outstrips my or UNC’s... ignites too many more straw men to list, or fully extinguish, here.'

Inbox: The Progressive Workers Union - which represents 394 Sierra Club employees - has sent out a press release saying that Sierra Club has laid off its entire equity department and a major part of the HR team investigating allegations of a toxic workplace culture:

“We have been left out of key conversations, so we don’t know how this will work,” said CJ Garcia-Linz, president of the Progressive Workers Union and a Sierra Club employee. “We’re concerned about what it means for our partners and community.”

As a conservationist and worker in the green nonprofit sector, I stand in solidarity with Sierra Club union members. this is unacceptable.

you still have a chance to do the right thing here, Ben Jealous. bring workers to the table and work together to find solutions. #1U

My job might lay me off soon. Our union is fighting back. Please share Progressive Workers Union's message opposing lay offs & restructuring.
