Excited to be returning to UT next week to give a talk on Cancel Culture. (And to drop by Beaumont while it's still crawfish season!!!)

Reuniting with my favorite Wisconsinites. (Accidentally deleted this earlier, lol.)

@statebarofwi Loved joining Judge Brown and Judge Griesbach on a panel on cancel culture at the State Bar of Wisconsin annual meeting. Thanks to Elise Ashley for inviting me to be a part of this!

Great opportunity to meet so many in the Wisconsin legal community and to connect and reconnect with so many UW Law grads.

[State Bar of Wisconsin @StateBarofWI]

Kicking off the Annual Meeting & Conference with opening remarks from Chief Justice Annette Ziegler and a fascinating discussion on cancel culture.

Returning to twitter after a long hiatus! In Boston for the Academic Freedom, Speech, and Rational Inquiry Colloquium. Great view for reading papers!

[Franciska Coleman @EducatedCitizn]

So, I wasn't sure if I would ever tweet again, but it turns out, I need to promote my article, so, hello again Twitter.

[Franciska Coleman @EducatedCitizn]

Wondering if cancel culture is about cancellation or just accountability? Wondering if we should be worried about offensive speech or injurious speech or both? Please check out my new article "Anatomy of Cancel Culture" in the Journal of Free Speech Law. https://t.co/rZD0pWCjqJ

I have a dream that one day diversity will mean more than having an institution's pre-approved ideas come out of a pair of black lips.

Is still wrapping her mind around the fact that the Constitution protects your right to have a pastor lay hands on you and pray audibly while you are being executed, but does not protect your right not to be arbitrarily executed based on race and gender.https://t.co/P1fwTA4YHd

Does Sen. Blackburn not know the judicial oath?

[Franciska Coleman @EducatedCitizn]

Tearing up at @SenBooker cheerleading for KBJ. The solidarity of this moment. #brushitoff #youareworthy

[Danielle Wingfield @dcwing_]

Cory Booker!! Yes, yes, yes! #NoOneIsStealingMyJoy. I wish everyone could experience the kind of championing that Senator Booker is doing right now for Judge Brown Jackson. His remarks are truly moving.

Another quote that seems rather apropos:
"When men oppress their fellow-men, the oppressor ever finds, in the character of the oppressed, a full justification for his oppression." --Frederick Douglass (Stony Road)

Today's Quote: Gates' Stony Road:
"The true evil of American slavery was the narrative we created to justify it....The North won the Civil War, but the South won the narrative war." --Bryan Stevenson

My Aunt: Hey, your uncle wants to know where we send our ballots.
Me: Um, your ballots? For voting??
My Uncle: (deadpan) Yes. To vote for you for the Supreme Court.
My other Uncle on FB: #FranforSupremeCourt
My cousins on FB: Yes!
Smh, this crazy family! I love me some them!
