It’s official: @Justinjpearson and @brotherjones_ have their seats back. And they aren’t the first Black lawmakers expelled from state bodies. With Black history under fire, how many of today's students know about this, asks @RealRannMiller https://t.co/ZzZS9dlOjf

BREAKING: Danco, the manufacturer of the brand-name version of the abortion drug mifepristone, has appealed to the Supreme Court to stop restrictions from taking effect this weekend. https://t.co/9lWHtrJHxc

A coalition of 13 environmental groups, including two from Alabama, argue that the EPA’s water pollution limits for heavy industries are decades out of date and don’t do enough to protect rivers and streams as required by the Clean Water Act.

Children have rights too, including the 5th Amendment protection against self-incrimination - what a win for Indiana! #JuvenileJustice

You don't know you're pregnant at 6 weeks. This is a ban, period.

Florida's legislature passes a 6-week abortion ban.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would sign it into law.

#GoodMorning to everyone who knows abortion is healthcare, vaccines save lives, books belong in libraries and a trans woman selling you beer or sneakers doesn't harm anyone. Have a blessed day!

A fascinating article about the functional disenfranchisement of Japanese Americans during World War II. Definitely worth the read!

[ResistanceatTuleLake @enemyalien]

Were Japanese Americans able to vote while incarcerated? Yes and no. If you have followed ANY voting rights issues from then up to this very moment, this article from @DenshoProject will blow your mind. https://t.co/ihVYOvulmt

On this day in history, 1994: California voters approve Prop 187, a law banning undocumented immigrants from accessing basic public services like healthcare and education. Thankfully, Prop 187 never ultimately went into effect, and it has since been formally repealed.

[Alabama Civil Rights & Civil Liberties Law Review @ALCivilRights]

@valdemings Absolutely. We are an entirely student-run law journal focusing on civil rights scholarship. For many of us, civil rights and social justice have been at the forefront of our minds since we could read and write.

Today is #ElectionDay2022 - are you voting today?

A man facing a potential death penalty in the killing of three people who were shot at an Alabama church dinner in June is fighting a court-ordered mental evaluation requested by prosecutors. https://t.co/B5tTR9EiT6

Election Day is tomorrow! Aniah's Law would allow Alabama judges to deny bond to those charged with certain violent crimes. Proponents argue Aniah's Law is necessary for public safety, while opponents argue it disrupts due process for defendants. What do you think?
