- As Omicron surges, remember that people in prison, jail, and detention are more vulnerable than ever.
- The Supreme Court may have taken the Harvard and UNC cases to end affirmative action, but I appreciate Justice Sotomayor and Justice Jackson making sure the truth and reality of both racial discrimination and race-conscious admissions are clear during this oral argument.
- It is exhausting to see people decrying Biden picking “a less qualified” or “unqualified” Black woman for SCOTUS, without even seeing who the nominee is. You are essentially saying that you think there is literally no Black woman in this country qualified to sit on the Court.
- I am so proud to have the opportunity to help lead this tremendous organization!Congratulations to Deborah Archer, newly elected president of the ACLU national board!
- We are standing in the shade of trees we did not plant. We can never forget the sacrifices others have made so that we could be more free.
- Louisiana is sending kids to its notorious Angola Prison and holding them on its former death row. Thanks @yasmincader for writing this story and @ACLU for challenging this outrageous practice.
- Justice Sotomayor breaking down the reality of racial discrimination right from the jump! Representation matters!
- Checked into my hotel in Houston to find this powerful mural outside my window. I am taking it as a sign, inspiration, and encouragement.
- Yes, the fmr officers are Black. It's still about white supremacy. Structural racism and white supremacy are about a social order that uses physical and economic violence to keep Black people in "their place" – denying economic opportunity, education, basic dignity, and safety.
- I can’t wait to get started teaching Critical Race Theory this semester!
- Excited to share that my book on race and transportation infrastructure, from the interstate highway system to bus routes to sidewalks, showing how racial discrimination is built into the American landscape will be published by @LiverightPub & @wwnorton !
- What was missing from today’s argument was how biased current admission standards are. Rather than debating the meaning of diversity, we should be debating the meaning of merit.
- Had a wonderful, engaging conversation with @SecretaryPete about the challenges of addressing the racism built into our nation’s transportation infrastructure. It is rewarding to know my research is being read and having an impact. #transportationjustice
