Some promising noises out of the FCC and Congress lately–even from President Obama– about preserving Net Neutrality. However, the Telco & other retrograde forces out there have lots of money, lobbyists, and influence. Free Press’s “Save the Internet” campaign has some good things going on, including an astonishing $100,000 matching contribution fundraiser sponsored by an anonymous donor. Chip in what you can. And contact your congresspeople today.

40,000 children lost a parent to COVID

Nathan, 11, & Isaiah Garcia, 14, from Texas lost their mom & dad from COVID in two weeks' time. Every week their grandmother takes the boys to visit the double gravesite where their parents are buried side-by-side. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-teen-orphans/Just another reminder that the Supreme Court has no code of ethics. She'll write about how judges shouldn't bring personal feelings into how they rule, but I think it's safe to assume she won't be writing about how they shouldn't use their positions for personal profit. https://twitter.com/dlippman/status/1384105610988310529
NEW: Justice Amy Coney Barrett has sold a book — garnering a $2 million advance for a tome about how judges are not supposed to bring their personal feelings into how they rule, three publishing industry sources told me. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/19/bill-barr-amy-coney-barrett-book-deals-483028
Thank you, @POTUS! 🙏🏽
The term “illegal aliens” is incredibly offensive & derogatory to us Latinos. It’s not used to describe any other ethnicity - we know exactly who’s being targeted by that racist term.
Use “asylum seekers” or “undocumented immigrants.”
