Montanans will be voting next fall on whether Montana should remove from corporations doing business in Montana the power to spend money on elections.

Hopefully, their answer will be yes. There’s absolutely no reason why states should grant corporations this power. https://open.substack.com/pub/robertreich/p/how-we-get-rid-of-citizens-united

I don't pretend to be a great lawyer. I'll never have a billboard on the side of the highway and I'll never be a household name.

But I've been representing protesters facing charges since 2018 and in that time I've had one conviction and zero time spent incarcerated. And I'm proud of that, I admit.
