The Supreme Court just made it easier to gut the Constitution without saying a word about the 14th Amendment. In Trump v. CASA, the Court greenlit lawlessness one plaintiff at a time. And butchered history while doing so. My latest for Slate: slate.com/news-and-polit…

Millions were so repelled by the prospect of a Black woman leading this country that they chose hunger, illness, devastation, and hardship just to ensure she never held power…

My latest in Slate. SCOTUS is hearing a case that could let ICE enter your home without a warrant just by claiming someone might need help. Pair that with a key part of Trump’s big ugly bill & we’re looking at legalized home raids rebranded as “aid.” -> shorturl.at/NuHw4

Starving babies isn’t “defense.” Cutting off water, bombing aid convoys, and turning hospitals into morgues isn’t “winning a war.” What’s happening in Gaza isn’t war, it’s state-sponsored extermination of a people. This tweet is abominable.

I’ve known Roy Cooper personally for 8+ years. He’s sharp, principled, & leads with conviction. He expanded Medicaid, raised teacher pay, fought for racial equity, & is a loyal friend to my family. He’ll be that same leader in the Senate. Ready to get to work to get him elected!

Shadeur is everything I knew he was. 💪🏿 He’s proving it again right now. His accuracy and his understanding of the game.

So it is clear that black communities are overly surveilled and under protected. Hence the desire for safety and the position on crime. But ask another question about trust of the police and you will get a much more complicated picture.

Today, I began my first year as a professor of law at NCCU School of Law! Alongside litigating, I now have the privilege of helping shape future lawyers. Excited to pour into my students, learn alongside them, & help prepare the next generation of advocates. 🙏🏾⚖️❤️🦅

People making a big deal out of the presence of 350,000 black millionaires in the U.S. should recognize that's less than 1% of the nation's black population, in contrast with the 16.7 million white millionaires who are 8% of the white population.

Today I joined CNN live with Brianna Keilar to discuss Trump’s new executive orders on cashless bail & flag burning. We discussed what each order does & the legal implications they raise, from equal protection concerns in pretrial justice to 1st Amend. limits on punishing speech.
