My second law review article was released today! Thank you to the editors at the Nevada Law Journal on this article!

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

@MaybellRomero Congratulations!! Well deserved!!

I love thar Hattiesburg was featured! Looks like a great listening tour!

Barney Frank was one of a kind. For more than three decades in Congress, he fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts, helped make housing more affordable, stood up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, and helped pass one of the most sweeping financial reforms in history designed to protect consumers and prevent another financial crisis. Barney’s passion and wit were second to none, and our thoughts are with his family today.

Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!

Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.

Tickets available at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.

So important to remember on May Day the 30,000+ employees in the federal judiciary who are exempt from the basic civil rights protections many of us now take for granted in the workplace: https://t.co/pQSFHoVHhb

Happy second birthday to @The_LAP_’s Judicial Clerkships database! It’s been great watching this org help law students and grads make informed clerkship decisions and improve the clerkship experience! https://t.co/CuXvukXpSe

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.

The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

@FergusonLucien Basically! It’s a resurrection of the old days!

The arguments behind every landmark Supreme Court ruling have never been freely available to the public… until now.

Thanks to a gift from the Wolf Law Library at William & Mary Law School, more than 125,000 #SCOTUS records & briefs are now freely freely available on the Internet Archive, spanning 1830 through 2019. The arguments that shaped America, including Brown v. Board of Education. Loving v. Virginia.

We must hold judges to the same standard as members of Congress for harassment and misconduct and we can in ways that comply with the Constitution https://t.co/WNwoCQzl9q @The_LAP_

@ezraiyoung Epic showdown on this one to be sure - especially given the very different styles between the two of them… 👀👀

@FergusonLucien @IReadJotwell Thanks so much! And thanks to @AndreaBoyack for writing it!

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

My father did not just give speeches. He offered a framework for how to live, how to lead, and how to confront injustice without losing our humanity.

“I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” was not simply a moment of reflection. It was a call to remain steadfast in the work, to organize, to build, and to act with courage and discipline.

If we are serious about honoring his legacy, we cannot stop at quoting him. We must study him.

I encourage you to spend time with his writings, his speeches, and his teachings, and to apply them in your daily life.
