Here's a wild story. Recently one of our attorneys received a "cease and desist" letter from another attorney because of our opposition to reparations for black Americans 🧵

Our argument is simple: Reparations bills are unconstitutional because they distribute benefits and burdens on the basis of race and ancestry to individuals that were neither victims nor perpetrators of slavery. This unequal treatment by the state is unacceptable.
