For three years, I've watched people casually accept accusations that would have once been recognized as outrageous - that terrorism can somehow be justified as "resistance" or that Jewish self-determination is inherently racist.
I've watched people repeat slogans they haven't examined, excuse conduct they would condemn in any other context, and go along with ideas they know are wrong because challenging the consensus carries a social cost.
There are remarkably few people prepared to risk criticism and ostracism to defend what they know to be true. @BoyGeorge deserves enormous credit for reminding us what it means to be a person of integrity.
In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.
I will release it!

KIND is without federal funding and still owed nearly $25 million for legal services already provided. Your donation helps keep lawyers beside children while their safety and futures remain at stake.
Help us protect children’s rights.

One Seattle judge heard 106 children’s immigration cases in a single day. More than 30 children who did not appear were ordered deported.
Children need legal representation and time, not accelerated hearings in a system that was never designed for them. kuow.org/stories/seattle-imm…
The consensus on AI and law is that lawyers are about to be automated out of a job. I think the consensus has it backwards, and I said so on @OddLots this week with @TheStalwart and @tracyalloway.

The bigger surprise inside @LowensteinLLP is where the value is landing. It is not only that junior lawyers are faster. It is that a partner with thirty years of experience now has a thought partner that surfaces the argument they had not considered.

More than 425,000 children are in immigration court without an attorney.
That means children are trying to understand hearings, deadlines, and the threat of deportation without someone by their side.
No child should have to go through that alone.

Unaccompanied children's legal services are under attack, and the funding that makes this work possible is at risk.
Add your name to join KIND and members of Congress advocating for continued funding for children’s legal services.

I am privileged to serve on the board of @supportKIND, the nation’s largest legal service provider to unaccompanied children. The work has been done. Yet the government won’t pay what it owes, over $20M, some unpaid since December, and is now targeting KIND and others who defend the due process rights of children. 70+ members of Congress from both parties have asked it to honor those contracts. This isn’t about politics. It’s about the rule of law, due process and the greatest countryin the history of the world keeping its wor
On June 11, federal agents visited KIND’s DC headquarters without a warrant in an operation targeting legal service providers for unaccompanied children.
Our work to support due process and protect the most vulernable will not be intimidated.

As the administration begins to end protection for TPS holders, we must not ignore the truth.
This policy will separate families and leave thousands of children unaccompanied.

KIND condemns the Senate’s budget bill for gutting protections for unaccompanied children.
It fast-tracks deportations, removes safeguards, and puts kids at greater risk of trafficking and abuse.
This is not policy—it’s cruelty.
