1/ THRILLED to share my 1st @BrennanCenter
report, out TODAY! It looks at HR1/S1 through an equity lens. What’s that mean?? America was formed by WE the People – yet for too long we deliberately excluded people based on sex, skin color & economic status. brennancenter.org/our-work/r…

Join the group chat! Tonight, 7PM in BK, join me in hearing from @AudreLawdAMercy about her new book setting the record straight on Originalism. (Promise it’ll be “funny ha ha,” not “funny soul crushing is this real life e.g. Dobbs” 😉) There’s hope! RSVP: cafeconlibrosbk.com/event-in…

Justice for all is not possible if we’re playing by the rules of an antiquated system whose defining feature is denying some of “our” rights. Great news is, systems are made & can be remade. It’s up to US to do that. ❤️ SO PROUD OF MY GIRL @AudreLawdAMercy in @TheAtlantic!
