People, not the courts, should have the power to decide our country's future. Check out my article with @mollycoleman.bsky.social of @peoplesparity.bsky.social about the recent @peoplesparity.bsky.social report about court reform.

A report I wrote for @peoplesparity.bsky.social, “Protecting Workers’ Rights and Democracy from the Courts: A Practical Guide to Court Reform,” is out today!
TL;DR: The federal courts are a threat to workers’ rights, economic justice, and democracy, and we need to reform them. 1/x

“Between the 1880s & 1935, courts issued more than 4,000 injunctions against strikes, picketing, & other collective action by workers; and struck down hundreds of worker-protective laws.” Courts’ hostility to workers isn’t new. It’s (long past) time to do something about it.

Our joint letter with @econliberties.bsky.social, @demandprogress.bsky.social, and @peoplesparity.bsky.social calls on the DOJ to nominate leaders dedicated to improving the department's dismal record on corporate criminal prosecutions.

The Arizona Supreme Court, as we now all know, is very, very bad. A new @peoplesparity.bsky.social report shines a light on the political maneuverings that got us here, and what the consequences are for working people.

Gabrielle Wolohojian:
• Former romantic partner of Maura Healey.
• Former BigLaw partner whose practice included defending corporations against consumer class action lawsuits.
This is not a good pick for the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

The courts have decided they’re the only policymakers that matter, and Congress has let them. But it isn’t natural or just—and it isn’t too late to do something about it.
(Plug for the PPP/LPE reading group on this topic, starting tomorrow!)

I feel like the problem of the courts looms so large, threatening everything we care about from reproductive rights to democracy to debt forgiveness to climate change!
So I really couldn't be more excited to be collaborating with
@peoplesparity.bsky.social on this open course/reading group!

What the f*ck are we going to do about the federal courts?
If you find yourself asking that on a daily...or hourly...basis, this is the reading group for you.
We're stoked to be partnering with @lpeproject.bsky.social for an open course on the courts.

1️⃣ Judges who are eligible for senior status have to take it.
2️⃣ The President needs to quickly nominate pro-people attorneys to fill those newly created vacancies.
3️⃣ The Senate must act fast to confirm those pro-people nominees.

Why hold coup sympathizers accountable when you could participate in their events, eat their free food, and benefit from their access to wealth?

Jones Day is terrible. The Federalist Society is terrible. And having a legal profession full of people who are too afraid to do anything about it is absolutely fucking terrible.
I wrote about it for Balls & Strikes.

Workers in Arizona look to the courts for justice, only to find them controlled by people who used to represent the bosses.
Our new report finds that 44% of judges in AZ are ex-prosecutors and more than one-third worked as corporate lawyers.

Justice Anita Earls could be ousted from her seat, which 1.8 million voters put her in, because she spoke out about bias in the justice system. She filed a federal lawsuit today to protect her First Amendment right to free speech. #ncpol t.co/K3jVbwvtN0
