My memoir, REMEMBER, YOU ARE A WILEY, is out 9/17/24. The title is my grandmother’s command. Its meaning is what shaped me. Pre-Orders here: https://t.co/Gh66u8QDJj

#ToddBlanche is making us all less safe. Pardons Proud Boys; persecutes @splcenter which works to prevent hate crimes. Protects Epstein files, turns a blind eye to police misconduct & tries to give Trump @ family a pass on future crimes.

The Senate must not confirm him.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

.@DAGToddBlanche is not acting as an independent law enforcement official, but the president’s lawyer, now with official power to attack those Trump doesn’t like: civil rights orgs, political opponents, and prosecutors following the evidence. https://t.co/fv7IFkmrm9

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

#BillPulte is NOT qualified. He’s Trump’s retribution weapon - targeting NY AG Tish James, Fed Commish Lisa Cook, Chair Powell. Trump regime looks to target non-profits & leaders who dissent as terrorists, while embracing extremists. Can’t be silent. https://t.co/DOQoL9WXk9

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

Trump defense attorney Todd Blanche called out 2x. A fed’l judge investigates his lifetime pass for Trump & kids from any kind of claim! Below, another fed’l judge says Blanche smeared @SPLCenter, then had to admit his false claim. This case should be dismissed!

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

Here's the five-page order

https://t.co/BY98ZSnzfC

Page 3 notes the Justice Dept did, in fact, make a "correction"

Page 4-5 has the judge's broader advice to return to norms in the justice system

Coming up on @TheBeatWithAri with @ProfMMurray in the host chair and my dear @MollyJongFast

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

ICE gets &1 trillion over the next decade to violate our rights. Trump has been trying to pay off his loyalists with a $1.8 billion slush fund but our communities ripped apart by a racist massacre is the history this administration wants to ignore. We won’t be silent. @civilrightsorg

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

On the 105th anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre, we remember victims who never got justice. The pattern repeats: Black votes gutted, agents killing without accountability, 32 dead in ICE custody in 2025, deadliest in 2 decades.

Accountability isn't partisan. The fight continues.

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

I will be joining @allinwithchris tonight on the fight for fair maps in AL & SC and the rights we fought a civil war to protect and advance. We won’t stop until we have full voting rights for every American! @civilrightsorg

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

@TheBlackCaucus is calling on corporate America to affirm its commitment to civil rights, voting rights & equal representation. We stand with them. The Callais decision gutted the VRA and has stripped Black voters across the south of real political power. https://t.co/NNn3xJOpbp

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

THIS: “[W]e cannot see our way clear to requiring Alabamians to cast their votes in the 2026 elections under a redistricting plan tainted by INTENTIONAL RACE-BASED DISCRIMINATION” (emphasis added cuz racism is real no matter what SCOTUS denies).

[Michael Li 李之樸 @mcpli]

🚨BREAKING: 3-judge panel finds that congressional map that Alabama wants to use for this year's midterms is intentionally discriminatory and issues a preliminary injunction.

2/2 As Dr. King said, “In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” - MLK Corporations want our business? Then they need to be about the business of multi-racial democracy. @CivilRights

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

1/2: The Congressional Black Caucus stands with and is part of the civil rights community. How about corporations? Corporations need to stop capitulating to racial discrimination & stealing the voice of Black voters!

George Floyd’s daughter said her Daddy “changed the world.” We won’t stop. ICE, CPB is unleashed, the DOJ is now policing civil rights rather as if it’s a crime, rather than protecting them but we are not stopping our march for justice. @civilrightsorg

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

Six years after George Floyd's murder, Congress is still writing blank checks to unaccountable federal agents. Our communities need investment, transparency, and accountability—not more funding for agencies that operate without consequence.

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

Honoring the soldiers who served and made the ultimate sacrifice and also the soldiers who now serve. They deserve better.

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

Violence is never an answer. It only creates more violence. We are not okay as a country and we should face that head on. https://t.co/W8qiBshUQh via @NYTimes

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

They’re not coming after @SPLCenter DESPITE their work to protect the rights of Black voters. They’re coming after it BECAUSE of it.  

Wednesday’s hearing did not fool us. This is a campaign to deny racism is real & civil rights are necessary. We won’t back down.

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

They want to try to scare civil rights organizations and funders from helping Black voters vote and have the power that comes from being one third of the population of AL, LA, GA, that are Black. Well, we won’t stop fighting for #votingrights

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

Why is the @splcenter being attacked? @mayawiley breaks it down: Because it fights for Black voters in Alabama & Louisiana. Because it exposes gerrymandered maps designed to "pack or crack" Black communities. Because it gives people power to dissent from this administration.

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

Coming up on @allinwithchris along

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

@jkbjournalist @MiamiHerald Well earned!

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

Impossible not to miss the powerfully principled #BarneyFrank. Especially in this period where permission to attack the civil rights he championed are under attack. His legacy is an inspiration and a reminder.

[ABC News @ABC]

Barney Frank, the former Massachusetts congressman who championed Wall Street reform and served as one of the first openly gay members of Congress, has died at 86, according to his family.

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

Today’s House Judiciary hearing on @SPLCenter should concern all Americans. Hate crimes have doubled in the last decade, but today was about weaponizing the law to attack what this admin dislikes. 

Democracy is on the line. We will not roll back civil rights in this country. @civilrightsorg

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

The fight is not over.  The fight is urgent and the fight is necessary. Join us. #allroadsleadtothesouth

.@mayawiley joined more than 160 organizations in Montgomery this weekend to make one thing clear: Black Americans in the South will not be gerrymandered out of power. The march is not over. #ARLS #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth https://t.co/6See81OU8U

[Maya Wiley @mayawiley]

Black Americans have always fought for better pay, health care, good schools. We vote for opportunities for all. When politicians try to ban our history of struggle, deny the discrimination we face or block us from the ballot, we don’t go silent. We don’t sit home! #VotingRights
