Statement on OSU President Ted Carter Resigning After Disclosing Inappropriate Relationship | Public Justice Statement on The Ohio State University president Walter "Ted" Carter announcing his resignation after disclosing an inappropriate relationship.

Ted Carter said he "made a mistake" but as the legal team for hundreds of sexual assault survivors who OSU has failed for decades, we believe this goes deeper & is part of a deep-rooted, systemic issue throughout OSU's leadership structure.

These young petitioners are among the first to challenge the EPA’s rule rescinding the Endangerment Finding and greenhouse gas standards for vehicles in federal court, part of a growing wave of petitioners contesting the rule. Learn more: ourchildrenstrust.org/venner-v-epa

There's a reason so many other countries have severely restricted, and in some cases completely banned, its use. Boosting glysophate production is a sure way to Make America Toxic Again. It should be prohibited, not promoted.

Opening up the Trump admin's attack on Minnesota refugees to greater public scrutiny On Tuesday, Law Dork, with Public Justice, filed a motion to improve access to a key court case challenging ICE's new effort to detain thousands of law-abiding refugees.

I am so grateful to be in a position to push for improved court transparency with action, with representation from @publicjustice.bsky.social. It is all the more important here b/c the case at issue appears to involve another unilateral DHS policy change aimed at restricting immigrants' rights.

Trump’s repeal of the Endangerment Finding is an attack on children’s constitutional rights to life, liberty, health, and safety. This science-based safeguard is the backbone of climate pollution limits, and we won’t let it be gutted. Stay tuned. #YouthvGov @publicjustice.bsky.social

Statement on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Revocation of the Endangerment Finding on the Dangers of Greenhouse Gases | Public Justice The Trump Administration’s EPA revoked its 2009 endangerment finding, striking down the agency’s longstanding science-based conclusion that greenhouse gases endanger the public health of Americans.

Today, the Trump Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency revoked its 2009 endangerment finding. The move eliminates the government’s role in limiting greenhouse gas pollution (and much more).

BREAKING: Our team scored a victory on behalf of workers fighting an effort to kill class actions by imposing illegal forced arbitration clauses. Corporations will not be able to avoid accountability in the courts and strip people of their rights by imposing fine print terms in the middle of a case.

It’s the platform’s future that is garnering attention in the current news ...

In this case, TikTok is trying to force the plaintiff, who alleges sex-based harassment, retaliation, and other workplace violations, into arbitration by arguing that her claims do not meet the definition of a β€œsexual harassment dispute.”
