This Saturday's Lawyers March for Democracy, spearheaded by @peoplesparity.bsky.social , is a very important moment. Participate if you can!

It is very unusual for lawyers to march. Alexis de Tocqueville described attorneys as an aristocracy and "the most powerful existing security against the excesses of democracy." Things must be bad when they—when we—take to the streets to oppose dictatorship.

1/3 Our #LawyersMarch is SAT 11/15. We're proud to be joined by an incredible list of speakers: ✊@rachelrossi.bsky.social, Alliance For Justice ✊Justice Thomas Moukawsher, Former CT Superior Court Judge ✊Sofía Montez, Project South ✊Bethany Young, DC Justice Lab actionnetwork.org/events/lawye...

Guess what, we don't have to accept a Supreme Court that allows Trump to crown himself king! We can demand court reform to protect democracy from the courts. @mollycoleman.bsky.social and I wrote about our recent report for @peoplesparity.bsky.social for @ballsandstrikes.org

DC lawyers and law nerds wyd Saturday

This is how the Trump administration, Congress, and the Supreme Court are recognizing Veterans Day this year. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

“In the US, perhaps the simple act of lawyers marching together, explicitly as agents of the law, can begin to shift what it means to be a lawyer in an age of democratic crisis.” Steve Kennedy on why @peoplesparity.bsky.social is rallying at SCOTUS this Saturday. newrepublic.com/article/2026...

Worked in legal organizing for the last few years, and I never would have thought a movement of lawyers was possible until I had the displeasure of doing this job under Trump 2.0. Attacks on the rule of law are so blatant that even usually nonpartisan lawyers are done newrepublic.com/article/2026...

It's a great day to remember that Paul, Weiss was the first Big Law firm to bend the knee & Brad Karp played a key role in convincing other firms to cave. ⚖️ Help the cowards in Big Law—and Congress—find their courage. 👉 Lawyers March for Democracy Sat. 11/15 actionnetwork.org/events/lawye...

Recent history has shown that attorneys and jurists can play a big role in bringing their nations back from the brink of autocracy. That day is coming for us as well. The Lawyers March for Democracy kicks off on Nov 15 @1pm: @skennedy2504.myatproto.social in @newrepublic.com

This week is further proof that we can't rely on our institutions to protect our rights against rising authoritarianism. The legal community and anyone who believes in democracy must act. JOIN The #LawyersMarch for Democracy 🗓 Nov. 15 | 1:00 PM 📍 Supreme Court 👉 actionnetwork.org/events/lawye...

Lawyers. Law students. Anyone who believes in justice. We're showing up at the Supreme Court on Nov 15 because the law isn’t working like it should—and we won't stay quiet. 📍SCOTUS 🕐 1–3 PM March with us.

A “pointless but painful perversion” describes the Robert’s Court perfectly. The Court’s decision to deny equal protection to transgender & non-binary people endangers lives & serves no purpose beyond pure cruelty. We need court reform now.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

🫢 Big Law capitulators are tight-lipped about their "pro bono" work for the Trump administration. Let's help Big Law find it's courage. Check out the Big Law Organizing Guide: peoplesparity.org/dont-bend-th...

So proud of the work @mollycoleman.bsky.social and the team behind @peoplesparity.bsky.social. Absolutely critical work that touches every corner of society and culture.

“If we can change the culture of the legal profession, there is no limit to what we can change in terms of the structures of society. But cultural change is really hard.” Great to have a chance to reflect on @peoplesparity.bsky.social’s work! clp.law.harvard.edu/article/figh...

👻The real horror story this Halloween? Millions losing food and healthcare because Congress refuses to act. Families can’t afford to trick or treat their way through another crisis.

Be careful tonight. There are some scary characters running around. No tricks, we need court reform: ✅ Expand SCOTUS ✅ Add jurisdiction stripping, channeling, or supermajority requirements to progressive legislation ✅ Support the No Kings Act 👉 Read more peoplesparity.org/new-ppp-repo...

The Supreme Court has functionally legalized these tramplings of constitutional rights, prioritizing the comfort of government agents over the rights of the people they terrorize: @skennedy2504.myatproto.social in @ballsandstrikes.org

We are making history today!!

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court Friday to stay a lower court order barring his attempted military deployment in Chicago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

SCOTUS is on the verge of gutting what’s left of the Voting Rights Act. We urgently need court reform to rein in this corrupt court before it inflicts more damage👇https://peoplesparity.org/research/no-kings-the-urgent-need-for-court-reform/

Not bragging, but PPP looks fabulous in yellow 💅 Wear yellow at ❌👑 to symbolize democratic struggle, nonviolent dissent & a reminder that power stems from the people, not from crowns. See you in the streets.

We reject kings—and their enablers in robes.

Labor lawyer Jenny Hunter joins Lisa Graves of Court Accountability Action to discuss her new People’s Parity Project report on court reform, why lower courts won’t save us, and why we must pay attention to the Supreme Court’s shadow docket. @courtacctability.bsky.social @thelisagraves.bsky.social

In Louisiana v. Callais, the Supreme Court appears poised to deliver a devastating blow to the Voting Rights Act, allowing for the widespread disenfranchisement of Black voters and turning the clock back to the dark days of Jim Crow. 1/4

By providing criminal immunity for all “official acts” by the president and removing civil accountability from actions outside of U.S. borders, the Supreme Court has eliminated any path to restraining Trump short of impeachment and removal— @skennedy2504.myatproto.social

If we don't reform this court we will be stuck for years with a court that is emboldening the most base, authoritarian impulses of this president @thelisagraves.bsky.social on court reform + new report PPP Report by @jennyhunter.bsky.social peoplesparity.org/research/no-...

Wednesday is gonna be a rough day: The Supreme Court will be hearing oral argument in a pair of cases that threaten what little remains of the federal government’s ability to protect voters from racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/louis...

We have to talk about the importance of court reform so that people know there is another future possible to contrast to our slide into authoritarianism: @jennyhunter.bsky.social on @legalafmtn.bsky.social fmtn.bsky.social w/ @thelisagraves.bsky.social

And, finally, the good people at @peoplesparity.bsky.social have a new report, “No Kings: the Urgent Need for Court Reform,” which analyzes the outcomes of the 389 cases challenging Trump Administration actions filed in federal court between January 2025 and September 1, 2025.

It's bonus season! PPP has launched the Big Law Pro-Bonus Pledge for law firm associates to donate part or all of their bonuses to pro-bono organizations that our firms are leaving out to dry. Take a stand, take the pledge 👇

A law professor is probably writing an article right now explaining how Trump has the authority to fire the Nobel Committee.

🚨 BREAKING: A federal grand jury indicts New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on one count of fraud. The indictment comes after Trump ordered the DOJ to go after his perceived enemies more aggressively last month.

Separation of powers for thee, not for me. We are at the mercy of Calvinball jurisprudence. Court reform must be a nonnegotiable for rebuilding democracy👇

New PPP report just dropped! Looking forward to digging in later because we cannot wait to start thinking about the future.

The courts alone won't save our democracy — at least, not the way they function right now. This report from @peoplesparity.bsky.social explains: https://peoplesparity.org/research/no-kings-the-urgent-need-for-court-reform/

1/3 🚨PPP’s new report urges progressives to back several #CourtReform tools🚨1) Court Expansion: adding justices to SCOTUS. Had the 2023 Judiciary Act passed, an expanded Roberts Court might have ruled differently in several Trump-related cases. ⚖️READ MORE: tinyurl.com/PPPNoKings
