Read our #SCOTUS brief on behalf of an ideologically diverse group of scholars, including @amandafrost.bsky.social and @ilyasomin.bsky.social: www.theusconstitution.org/litigation/t...

The Trump administration’s executive order claiming to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. The text and history of the Fourteenth Amendment make that clear.

CAC Scholar-in-Residence @catherinepowellesq.bsky.social spoke to CBS about the legacy of Eunice Hunton Carter, New York's first Black female prosecutor and a key figure in American history. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2aX...

Thank you to @myconstitution.bsky.social for submitting an amicus brief in our SCOTUS case, Noem v. AOL. The fact is asylum saves lives and we're grateful for the support in upholding the human right to safety.

Really fascinating work from my brilliant colleague David H. Gans:

Huge news: Vader has a Sith lightning bolt on her back paw.

When I was a college intern in 2017, I went to a conference in Geneva on the future of tech policy. During a Q+A I asked if AI kept getting trained on non-representative and biased datasets because projects were staffed with non-representative and biased people. People got MAD. Like, audible hubbub.

NYT: Trump secretly deported 9 migrants despite court orders to not remove them to their home nations. So, he sent them to prison in Cameroon: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/w...

Introducing Vader!! She finds your lack of fish disturbing. And the adoption fee was half off through an @awlarlington.bsky.social Valentine’s event, if you’re looking to bring home a furry sweetheart!

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Some highlights from a very museum-centric birthday trip! “Maritieme Vrouwen” at the Rotterdam Maritime Museum, followed by fashion by Iris Van Herpen at the Kunsthal (coming to Brooklyn this spring!)

It falls to all of us to step up and defend the Constitution. Watch more from CAC's @davidhgans.bsky.social with @granthermes.bsky.social: mimsnewspod.substack.com/p/whats-happ...

ICE’s national campaign of terror has had tragic consequences. Congress should rein in this lawless behavior by exercising its control through the appropriations process. Our system of checks and balances only works if each branch does its job. www.theusconstitution.org/news/cac-rel...

Super interesting podcast with my colleague David discussing the history of the 14th Amendment as a tool against racist state violence, and that history’s lessons for today:

250 years after the Declaration of Independence, Martin Luther King Jr. Day should be a moment to reflect on our role in bending the arc of history toward justice. Read more from @elizabethwydra.bsky.social in @washingtonmonthly.com: washingtonmonthly.com/2026/01/19/o...

CAC's @davidhgans.bsky.social joined @granthermes.bsky.social to discuss ICE's "rampant disregard for constitutional safeguards." Watch now: mimsnewspod.substack.com/p/whats-happ...

Bans on transgender women and girls in school sports are cruel and unconstitutional. Before oral argument tomorrow, read our #SCOTUS brief explaining why these bans violate the 14th Amendment’s equal protection guarantee: www.theusconstitution.org/litigation/l...

The strength of our democracy depends upon us remembering exactly what happened on January 6, 2021, and ensuring it never happens again. Read more from CAC VP Praveen Fernandes: www.theusconstitution.org/news/release...

HAPPENING NOW: Five years after the January 6 attack, the threat to American democracy hasn’t faded – it has evolved, expanded, and grown more dangerous. Join @elizabethwydra.bsky.social and other democracy champions today at 12:15 ET: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died. New, @propublica.org

The Trump administration's strikes on survivors of a boat strike could constitute a war crime or even murder. Watch more from @elizabethwydra.bsky.social on @bloomberg.com: www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/...

The unlawful dismantling of USAID has caused the deaths of over half a million people, most of them children. hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

I know the sandwich throwing trial is more "fun" but I hope folks will pay attention to this trial in Chicago today. People held at Broadview share details of the disgusting, inhumane conditions. A man said agents told him to sign self deportation papers and lied to him about what they were.

No, Trump cannot serve a third term. The Constitution is clear. Watch more from CAC's Praveen Fernandes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy-X...
