Today I joined @CNN live with @brikeilarcnn to discuss Trump’s new executive orders on cashless bail & flag burning. We discussed what each order does & the legal implications they raise, from equal protection concerns in pretrial justice to 1st Amend. limits on punishing speech.

Today, I began my first year as a professor of law at NCCU School of Law! Alongside litigating, I now have the privilege of helping shape future lawyers. Excited to pour into my students, learn alongside them, & help prepare the next generation of advocates. 🙏🏾⚖️❤️🦅

So it is clear that black communities are overly surveilled and under protected. Hence the desire for safety and the position on crime. But ask another question about trust of the police and you will get a much more complicated picture.

I’ve known Roy Cooper personally for 8 years. He’s sharp, principled, & leads with conviction. He expanded Medicaid, raised teacher pay, fought for racial equity, & is a loyal friend to my family. He’ll be that same leader in the Senate. Ready to get to work to get him elected!

Starving babies isn’t “defense.” Cutting off water, bombing aid convoys, and turning hospitals into morgues isn’t “winning a war.” What’s happening in Gaza isn’t war, it’s state-sponsored extermination of a people. This tweet is abominable.

Israel is the only country that is not allowed to win a war.
Jews are the only people on the planet who are not allowed to defend themselves after attack.

On this day in 1968, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black American Presidential nominee from one of the two major parties.

My latest in @Slate.
SCOTUS is hearing a case that could let ICE enter your home without a warrant just by claiming someone might need help. Pair that with a key part of Trump’s big ugly bill & we’re looking at legalized home raids rebranded as “aid.” -> shorturl.at/NuHw4

Millions were so repelled by the prospect of a Black woman leading this country that they chose hunger, illness, devastation, and hardship just to ensure she never held power…

The Supreme Court just turned away from one of the key legacies of Brown v. Board of Education. slate.trib.al/z6JtXZr

The Supreme Court just made it easier to gut the Constitution without saying a word about the 14th Amendment. In Trump v. CASA, the Court greenlit lawlessness one plaintiff at a time. And butchered history while doing so. My latest for @Slate: slate.com/news-and-politics/…

Introduced last night, NC House Bill 958 is cunning and terrible. Framed as administrative refinement, it in fact constructs new barriers to voting, chills civic participation, & shifts control over the electoral process in partisan & exclusionary ways. Here’s what it does:🧵

HB 958 narrows access, weakens oversight, & chills participation. It transforms the State & County Boards of Elections from public servants into silent bureaucrats, strips voters of protections against official error, & sows distrust in the mechanisms meant to preserve democracy.

What can be done? Speak out, show up, & stay vigilant. Call your legislators & demand they oppose HB 958. Support voting rights groups challenging these restrictions. Educate your community about what’s at stake. This bill thrives on quiet passage. Make noise. Be loud. Say no.
