Donald Trump in a Truth Social post on March 8, 2026: "Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT"

Taking a victory lap on "LOWEST EVER" gas prices, then calling Americans "FOOLS" for worrying about his war with Iran raising prices?

Donald Trump is a con man with no plan and failing the American people.

Immigrants in Central Valley are challenging ICE detentions at record-high rates “The Eastern District is taking these cases very seriously,” said a senior staff attorney with ACLU of Northern California.

In California, attorneys are successfully filing emergency petitions to free immigrants from ICE custody.

“ICE doesn’t have to operate this way. It’s clearly in violation of the law. They’re losing cases over and over again.”

The Trump Administration's censorship of medical research is an assault on science and the First Amendment.

By attacking DEI programs that are aimed at addressing systemic racism, Trump has made his goals clear: He wants to take us back in time.

Many are asking: “What can I do now?”

Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

Brown graphic with text "defamation lawsuit, explained" Below the text are photos of artists Kendrick Lamar and Drake, both talking into a microphone. Behind the men is a star with the text of the Constitution in it. In the bottom left corner is a white ACLU logo. In the bottom right corner reads "swipe."

A brown graphic with text "Late last year, Drake sued his label for releasing Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy-winning song “Not Like Us.” You may be wondering how the law protects rap beefs and other forms of expression — we’re here to break it down." Below the text is a small shape with text of the Constitution inside. In the bottom left corner is a white ACLU logo. In the bottom right corner reads "swipe."

Brown graphic with text "Without commenting on any specific lawsuit or allegation, let’s look at defamation basics. Defamation is a false statement that damages another person’s reputation. It's hard for public officials and celebrities in particular to prove defamation under the law — and that's a good thing for our free speech rights." In the bottom left corner is a white ACLU logo. In the bottom right corner reads "swipe."

Brown graphic with text "Speech about public officials and celebrities is protected from a defamation suit if: - It's true - It's false, but you genuinely believed it was true - You make clear that you're stating an opinion based on publicly available information that you think is true For a public figure like Drake to succeed on a defamation claim, he would need to prove the defendant knowingly or recklessly made false and defamatory statements about him – in other words, that they lied on purpose." In the bottom left corner is a white ACLU logo. In the bottom right corner reads "swipe."

Suing over defamation is a common tactic used against artists, activists, and journalists in order to shut them up.

But the First Amendment protects rappers, journalists, and everyone else, too.

Words matter.
Definitions matter.

A note to older media: stop asking interviewees "Who do you think won the Kendrick-Drake battle???" It's a dumb question. No one thinks Drake won.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

This is not a joke. Folks, we cannot allow this (along with other issues) to happen!

Nah, beloveds. It's funding given to the states.
