It’s important to keep today’s birthright citizenship decision in context. First, SCOTUS left the status of a fundamental, explicitly articulated constitutional right uncertain for over a year all to affirm what was clear from the issuance of Trump’s EO. Birthright citizenship cannot be abridged.

Today I am moved by power of this example of how Black people hold our own history. Without museums. W/o official declarations or monuments. In community. Happy Juneteenth!

SCOTUS voting rights decision “will usher in a bleaching of the nation’s legislative bodies unlike anything this country has seen since the “Redemption” of 1873–1877 ended Reconstruction and returned white supremacists to power throughout the South“

They made a choice. Realizing it was the wrong one doesnt do any good for all the people who are suffering under this administration.
Nope.

I’m sending them thoughts and prayers just like they do us.

Y’all sound crazy as hell expecting people to save and sympathize with their abusers.

All of that bs is exactly how/why reconstruction was awful & failed.

Baaaaaaby they wanted to burn it all down and I’m happy to oblige them.

On the one hand, the less cases Alito participates in the better. On the other hand, our judiciary is broken.
With 3 more Justice Alito recusals today due to his (more likely his wife's, but either counts) investments, **31% of all of SCOTUS's OT25 recusals (16 of 52)** are due to the Alitos' stock ownership docs.google.com/spreadsheets....

Justices and their spouses should not own individual stocks.

Ms. Jackson trapped Marshall in the laundry basket. He's twice her size but she got the big brain.

Listen, I’m still a licensed attorney, and I have to say something because the Swalwell defense is still at level eleven for some of you nuts.

Innocent until proven guilty is a standard at a trial.

It does not mean, and never has, that you don’t believe crime victims until someone is convicted.

We need to:

✅ overturn Citizens United

✅ ban Congressional stock trading

✅ get dark money out of politics

To get corporate influence out of our politics and return it to the people.

Not only am I now the first tenured Latina law prof at Tulane, I am also its first full Latina law prof.

And there will be more, I promise.
This is why I am overwhelmed with gratitude and pride that my colleagues just voted to promote me to full Professor here at Tulane Law School. *This* first-gen Central American kid who went through so much.

Now there's going to be one more full Latina prof. Excited to keep getting to work! 2/2

It's true! I'm delighted to announce my latest project (with @simonandschuster.bsky.social), "The U.S. Constitution: A Comprehensive and Annotated Guide for the Modern Reader."

In bookstores in May, but preorder yours now (maybe get one for your favorite federal official? It makes a great gift!).

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

BLOCK them.
