Local news keeps it real and protects democracy.

WOW. The California Senate just voted to approved, by 2/3 vote, SB1327, Sen. Glazers bill to provide $500 million for local news, paid for by a tax on the big tech companies. Huge breakthrough.

Greatest hits of substantive due process. Refresh your recollection on the list of rights so protected. politico.com/news/magazine/…


Thought-provoking symposium showed state constitutions are a pivotal locus of civil & political rights in a federalist system. Originalists take note, dual sovereignty means states can interpret their own constitutions based on history, tradition and maybe, persuasive counsel

Important conversation @nyulaw @BrennanCenter #StateCourtReport with @hernandezstroud @_sbrett_ @MarcusAGadson Judge Albert Rosenblatt, Dean Robert Schapiro, & Professor Judith Resnik discussing rights of criminal defendants in state constitutional law

Consumer owned power failed in a ballot initiative in Maine yesterday, after IOU outspent consumer advocates by a large margin. A blow to energy democracy. mainemorningstar.com/2023/11/07/yea…


What are we concerned about this election day? We are thinking at the precinct level, with concerns that election observers do no more than that, observe. Intimidation and brandishing have no place at the polls. See something, say something.

We have said it before: small town papers are the bulwark of local democracy in many parts of the country. If that’s where you are, read your local paper, support it, and respond to its asks for small dollar donations.


Slog Law reposted

An entire small-town police department in Kansas raided a newspaper's offices and its reporters' homes because the paper got a tip about a well-connected person's DUI kansasreflector.com/2023/08/11/pol


We will depart from our usual institutional objectivity to observe that KBJ’s dissent to today’s SCOTUS decision on affirmative action is on 🔥🔥
