[ [link removed] ]Holding Clarence Thomas Accountable
In a series of recent op-eds, People For President Svante Myrick makes the
case for accountability regarding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
and his extensive history of failing to report gifts from Republican
megadonor, Harlan Crow. According to recent reporting by ProPublica,
Justice Thomas has failed to report these gifts for almost two decades!
This brazen and stunning violation of federal ethics requirements cannot
be ignored. Please read below our latest and don’t forget to sign the
petition calling on the Department of Justice to investigate.

[ [link removed] ]Confirm Better Judges — We Can’t Afford Another Judge Kacsmaryk
A U.S. district court judge in Texas issued a ruling, and half the nation
shuddered. This time the ruling is from Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk and

core problem: We need better federal judges.

[ [link removed] ]Qualified Immunity Is a Threat to Us All – Let’s End It
If you’ve followed any of the recent cases of police brutality and
misconduct, or any of the thousands of cases over the last five decades,
you’ve probably heard the term “qualified immunity.” And you might have
wondered what it means. It’s a good question to explore because the legal
concept of qualified immunity has created a police force which feels
invincible – and acts like it.

[ [link removed] ]Our Media Diet – Why We Need to Watch What We Consume
In a new op-ed, People For President Svante Myrick discusses how being
mindful about the type and volume of media we digest can reduce the
fatigue and burnout we can sometimes feel when the amount of information
(and its contents) feels overwhelming:
“Today, however, it feels like staying informed is less an act of our
civic duty and more an endurance test against burnout. It doesn’t have to
be. I promise. We can all strike a balance between knowing what’s going on
in the world and being bogged down by it.”
