REMINDER: Denying kids health care because they have two moms is not religious liberty.

Denying patients IVF because they are unmarried is not religious liberty.

Denying patients surgery because they are trans is not religious liberty.

Discrimination is not religious liberty.

Kavanaugh refused to answer Senators' questions, and now AG Barr too scoffs at the House's subpoena power. A 1L doing on campus interviews wouldn't get away with this behavior let alone fully grown adults. #ChickenBarr

The number of hate crimes in the United States in 2017 topped a previous high, with law enforcement reporting 7,175 incidents — an uptick of 17 percent over the five-year high reached in 2016. But many others go unreported. https://t.co/nefxKgLsNp

.@justintrudeau drops umbrella (& the mic): “As we sit here in the rain, thinking how uncomfortable we must be these minutes as our suits get wet, and our hair gets wet...it’s all the more fitting that we remember on that day in Dieppe the rain wasn’t rain, it was bullets.”

Trump wants our client’s victory overturned and trans people excluded from federal civil rights law.

We won in lower courts and will keep fighting for Aimee Stephens as long as it takes. We filed briefs today asking SCOTUS not to entertain the government’s hate-filled position.

Voter fraud is a pratically nonexistent problem. But restricting voting rights is a huge one. #ProtectTheVote https://t.co/ZJOpY64frk

This country has to come together. This division, this hatred, this ugliness has to end.

#BREAKING: The @realDonaldTrump admin has doubled down (again) on its attempt to de-legitimize the existence of #transgender people. @TheJusticeDept just filed a brief arguing that trans employment discrimination is lawful. Read it here: https://t.co/KOs7Q0htYL #WontBeErased

Me:.......
Article: Sigh.
Me: GO AWAY!
Article: Just 30 more footnotes and rewrite the introduction.
Me: I DON'T WANT TO WORK ON YOU ANYMORE!

Me: Not really. I think you need a major rewrite.

Congratulations to @ACLU! Access to voting for all eligible citizens is a victory for voting rights everywhere.

This is an important victory in our case with @ACLUofGA.

Robert E. Lee was not a great general, President Trump.

He waged a war to hold onto the legal institution of white supremacy. https://t.co/TZvUood3kg
