This program, launched in 2021, is one of the things I’m proudest of. And so pleased & blown away to see how expertly LDF President @janainelson.bsky.social, aided by program director Adria Kimbrough, have grown & deepened the program. And what a harvest will come of these seeds!

Many of you have heard me speak about the need for “planting” during this season. What joy to address the second cohort of law school graduates in the @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s Marshall Motley Program - building a core of new civil rights attys in the South. We fight yes. But we must plant. 🤎

Please read this from @jenrubin.bsky.social. Every sentence is catharsis. THIS is why the Tapper book feels obscene. Because it has to be squared with the media’s “cover-up” of Trump’s lunacy. And only one of these threatens our democracy. contrarian.substack.com/p/trump-and-...

Governing by rumor, innuendo, excerpts and ghost stories is the mark of these leaders. They are so lazy. That’s why Bongino was crying about working til 7pm. Public service is real work if you’re doing it right. So they’re just…doing it wrong.

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.
