    150 yrs ago, the 15th Amendment extended the right to vote to Black men. 50 yrs later the right to vote was extended to all women via the 19th Amendment. In 2020, we are all summoned to exercise this sacred right in favor of the rule of law, racial justice & democracy.

    Trump is running on criminal justice reform? Really? How exactly does that square with the fact that both of his AGs Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr have undone almost all Obama era justice and police reform, target progressive DAs, press policies of mass incarceration at every turn?

    Rosa Parks, the face of a movement, was born. Her life of activism and commitment to racial justice are testimonies to the role of Black women in the liberation of Black people in America and the advancement of our democracy.

    Fed’l judge reverses conviction of 4 who left food & water in an area where over 3000 migrants had died. DOJ is wasting resources on prosecutions like this while significant matters, including civil rights crimes & public corruption, go unaddressed.

    Cop convicted of planting crack on innocent couple. Given probation. Judge “swayed by how he lost his job, pension, & health.” In other words, the same consequences for people I represent jailed on bail *before conviction* that no judge ever cares about.

    Every attempt by the to rehabilitate its image among Black viewers will ring hollow as long as Kaepernick is still unsigned to an NFL team. You cannot co-opt his message and blackball him at the same time.

    in 1960, 4 Black students in Greensboro, NC sat down at a Woolworth's lunch counter & demanded service. They were denied so they sat quietly at the lunch counter until the store closed. The next day, 25 men & 4 women continued the protest.

    What is becoming clearer from this trial, is that Donald Trump is not the greatest threat to our Democracy. It’s those people we have elected to hold the Executive Branch accountable.

    Thanks for calling out the members of the legal profession that bring us such shame and dishonor. They are wholly complicit in undermining the bedrock of our democracy--the rule of law.
