I practice immigration law and criminal defense, and I love avocados.

I was recently on a podcast talking shop with a fellow immigration attorney. It was fun! Check it out here:

The Declaration of Independence went from revolution to obscurity to a source of American progress.

Here is my review of a classic history of a forgotten document that became national scripture.

Here's to 250 more years of contesting who we are and who we wish to be!

Wow, @radleybalko annotated the Declaration of Independence *verbatim* with links to the Trump administration's actions. 🔥

This is sad.

I, for one, have never been more proud to be an American because, in the crucible of the past decade, I have a much better sense of what is American and what is not.

Kings, it turns out, are not.

[Michael Zigismund @MikeZigi]

Good news!

The most anti-free trade and pro-economic coercion administration in my lifetime tells Iran to "think bigger" by abandoning economic coercion in favor of free trade.

It's good to be the king

Again, thanks for the prompt, @UnPopulistMag!

I've never been a fan of court packing. Yesterday's #birthrightcitizenship decision was a relief, but not enough.

In this short post, I explain why I've come around on court packing, and how to do it right.

😭 Summary from Tangle. From the linked article:

"Since then, crows have left more than half a dozen items for Leah—from sticks to balls of moss to a smaller bird’s nest."

This brought tears to my eyes. As always, you should be reading Tangle News.

Btw, he skipped the part of the poem that described the Nazis first going after Communists and socialists.

Why do you think Trump of all people skipped those specific lines?

[Michael Zigismund @MikeZigi]

He's serious you know

[Michael Zigismund @MikeZigi]

To be clear, though the newly-confident Iranian regime disputes the news, it would be a good development. My point is about MAGA's lack of principle.

[Michael Zigismund @MikeZigi]

This was the centerpiece of Obama's Iran deal

Trump abandoned the deal in 2018

He has spent a decade criticizing it

Now it's a point of pride

[Michael Zigismund @MikeZigi]

And thank you to @UnPopulistMag for the prompt.

[Michael Zigismund @MikeZigi]

Here’s my latest! Those outraged by Trump’s power grabs must do more than object. They must reconstruct – now.
