New: Four states are standing in the way of a water rights deal that tribes say would help them build more housing, grow sustainable economies and better protect public health. “It’s a fundamental human rights issue,” said one law professor. propub.li/4bdRaJi

Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States...

Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.

I don't know if this novel I'm writing is a good novel or a bad novel. I do know that what I'm working on now is completely different than the first draft I wrote last summer, and I know I'm having a hell of a good time writing it.

New York law makes it nearly impossible for innocent people who plead guilty and don’t have the benefit of DNA evidence to go back to court and prove their innocence. Urge Speaker Carl Heastie to bring the Challenging Wrongful Convictions Act (A.7422-C) to the Assembly today. @VOCALNewYork @nyc_defenders @LegalAidNYC @BklynDefender @_CFAL innocenceproject.org/petitio…

New York Must Pass the Challenging Wrongful Convictions Act in 2027
