Young children, who should be nurtured and protected, cried as they witnessed armed agents violently arrest their teacher. We cannot stand by while our communities are terrorized and children traumatized. Immigration enforcement has no place in our schools and daycares.

The Election Assistance Commission is being asked to add new citizenship documentation requirements to the federal voter registration form. This isn’t about “election integrity.” It’s voter suppression and it threatens our democracy and creates a modern day poll tax. #VotingRights

Black voters deserve a fair chance to elect candidates of their choice, not maps rigged to silence their voices. We are suing the Meriwether County Board of Elections for adopting a redistricting plan that dilutes Black voting power in violation of the Voting Rights Act. #VotingRights

State power should never be used to silence Black and Brown communities. Yet across the country, state lawmakers are blocking cities from raising wages, protecting tenants, advancing racial justice, and keeping residents safe. Join @advancementproject.org to learn more about abusive preemption.

1/ Let's break down what the Supreme Court just did today in the Perdomo v. United States case. In short: the Court green-lit racial profiling in Los Angeles, and the consequences will ripple far beyond.

From DC crime rates to job reports, this administration twists numbers to fit their narrative. When leaders manipulate data instead of facing facts, it’s not just dishonest, it’s a slide into authoritarianism. Truth is the first casualty. #FREEDC www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

doesn’t the president have a ballroom or an au bon pain courtyard to build, why is he moonlighting as DC mayor

Deploying the National Guard in DC when crime is at a 30-year low isn’t ‘public safety’, t’s political theater. #FreeDC #NoKings

🧵1/ Louisiana just passed a new police accountability law but it took a brutal assault, a lawsuit, and years of public outcry to get here. Let's talk about what happened to Shantel Arnold and the pattern of abuse that finally forced the state to act. #AbolitionNow www.propublica.org/article/loui...

We should have a pretty clear idea of how a democracy becomes an authoritarian police state. The five key ingredients: lies, corruption, idiocy, loyalty, and most important, a blanket of sedating propaganda. https://trib.al/4cvzG84

The “Big Ugly” federal bill passed today and it’s trash. Packed with funding boosts for policing, immigration enforcement, and surveillance. What’s in it? A thread 🧵

The future of our public schools are on the line. Hidden in the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is a provision that offers an unprecedented 100% tax deduction for donations to third party organizations that hand out private school vouchers. Our staff attorneys break down how children will be harmed.

Parental rights had a mixed bag at SCOTUS over the past week. Essentially, if you have anti-LGBTQ views, Sam Alito will find a way to twist the law to protect you. If your kids are LGBTQ and you want to protect them, they’ll ignore you. At Law Dork, I explain:

1/ Today, the Supreme Court allowed Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth to stand. Let’s be clear: this is a devastating blow to trans people, especially Black and Brown trans youth already fighting to survive. 🧵 www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Every time.

#BlackLivesMatter. Today. Every damn day.

So I’ve never seen consent decrees as justice-- just the bare minimum. But even that is being abandoned. The DOJ’s retreat from Minneapolis policing “reform” is a reminder: the system protects itself. Liberation won’t come through their courts. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u... #defund#abolitionnow

Join @advproject tomorrow as we go back to the roots to unpack how we got here. In the face of ongoing attacks on public education, it's more urgent than ever to push for a public safety vision rooted in community care and no police. #PoliceFreeSchools #abolition

The tactics ICE is using--thugs in plain clothes kidnapping people simply for their political views--these tactics were developed by the US and spread across the world to hunt down Leftists from Latin America to Indonesia. They've also been used locally for decades to terrorize Black communities.

Five years ago, Breonna Taylor's life was taken from us by an unjust system. Her name echoes as a call for justice and change. We continue to fight for accountability, equality, and an end to police violence. #SayHerName #JusticeForBreonna #BreonnaTaylor #BlackLivesMatter

Joy. Love. Building together. That’s what this weekend is about. #Selma60

1/ Today, we mark the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. On March 7, 1965, peaceful protesters were brutally attacked in Selma, Alabama, simply for demanding the right to vote. It was a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights. But let’s be clear: The struggle isn’t over. #Selma60

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Maryland issues a nationwide block on Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship as litigation continues, saying it "conflicts with the plain language of the 14th Amendment."

The Trump administration moved quickly to dismantle protections for trans, nonbinary, and intersex people through one of the first of a flurry of Executive Orders issued right after the inauguration. While these attacks on transgender communities aren't shocking to anyone who know Project 2025 1/

Proud of the 150 or so people who showed up today to protest Children’s National’s decision to go along with Trump’s EO and end their gender affirming care. We all have to hold our institutions accountable for deciding to comply #trans #transrights #humanrights

I wrote about the importance of defending sanctuary cities and why any policy that make it harder for ICE to detain or deport people is worth fighting for. truthout.org/articles/let...

Feels right for my first post! Love being in community with folk ready to build and fight on! #FacingRace2024
