Pass the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act First introduced 2019, Rand Paul blocked this legislation in the Senate because of his contention that the law was too broad and a convicted criminal could face “a new 10-year penalty for… minor bruising.” The bill has been reintroduced in the House in January 2021 H.R.55 117th Congress. It is now in the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.

Contrary to his pledge that “diplomacy is back at the center of our foreign policy,” President Biden has publicly labeled Russian President Vladimir Putin “a killer” without “a soul.” With the United States and Russia brandishing thousands of nuclear weapons pointed at each other, such rhetoric is extremely dangerous. We must not let it become normalized.

Ask President Biden to Seek End of Saudi Blockade on Yemen According to the UN, 400,000 children under the age of 5 in Yemen could die of hunger this year without urgent action. In light of a March 10th news report, “CNN investigation finds the U.S.-backed Saudi blockade is leading to deadly fuel & food shortages in Yemen, where hospitals are full of starving children,” we are urging the Biden Administration to use the full weight of U.S. diplomatic resources and leverage with the Saudi regime to demand an immediate and unconditional end to its blockade on Yemen, which threatens the lives of 16 million malnourished Yemenis living on the brink of famine.
Here’s the deal on the For the People Act (S.1) and H.J.R.48 Reformist legislation like H.R.1 is needed and long overdue because it protects and expands voting access and mitigates corruption in the short term.

Amazon should not decide which books succeed Although it’s the largest bookseller in the world, Amazon isn’t really a bookseller. That isn’t its business model. Amazon is a data company. Its goal isn’t really to sell books, it’s to surveil customers and harvest data about them. It accomplishes this surveillance by luring readers into a host of Amazon-owned products, and attempting to keep them there with cheap or free content. Amazon’s book arm operates at a loss. Some libraries and public schools won’t use Kindle on principle because of Amazon’s invasive data collection. Kindle users pay not only with dollars, but with valuable, personalized data that gives Amazon an even more unbeatable advantage in the market.
