@lawofruby, @Kgfeden and and @KGreenberg_ join @ChrisJansing to provide more insight on the charges.
The #metoo movement is NOT dependent on court verdicts or outcomes. The movement has always been about survivors coming together to overcome shame and the rape myths that clouded sexual assault claims and kept them in the darkness. That can’t be undone. EVER.
@robinince a question from my son, Nicky, age 10: what are the chances of intelligent life existing in other galaxies. Are we likely to know in my lifetime?
What an unbelievable honor! I brought my mission to work with survivors to @SMBBlaw in 2020. This week @BobMongeluzzi@LarryBendesky and @andrewrduffy have chosen to make me their partner. Thank you so much and I look forward to continuing my mission with such amazing partners!
@AymanM thank you for keeping a focus on the plight of the treatment of African immigrants attempting to flee Ukraine. In the past, their story would have remained invisible within this great tragedy. Thank you for giving them a voice.
It’s difficult to overstate the importance of this nomination. The diversification of the bench at all levels is a precondition to equity. This shatters a glass ceiling I wasn’t sure would break in my lifetime! More work to do, but let’s relish this moment! #BlackGirlMagic
It was a pleasure speaking with @JDBalartMSNBC this morning. Those who wanted to call the murder of Ahmaud Arbery “horrible” yet push back when we call it a “lynching” need to read the texts that these racists were sending. This was a hate crime in every sense of the word!
Federal prosecutors honed in on racist posts and messages sent by Ahmaud Arbery's killers.
"[The prosecution is] showing and emphasizing those text messages that show not only hatred but irrational responses to Black people," @Kgfeden tells @jdbalart.

@ZerlinaMaxwell thank you for providing a forum for these issues. I pray, someday we have institutions that truly reflect us. Institutions that reflect diversity at the decision making level and embrace compassion as opposed to the current institutional culture of neglect.
As Ghislaine Maxwell's trial begins, @kgfeden talks to @nbcaaron about how the prosecution will focus on survivor testimony and "the critical role that Maxwell played in terms of enticing them, grooming them, acclimating them to being comfortable to Epstein."
"You cannot forget the innate fear of blackness that is embedded in American history." As the jury deliberates in the Arbery shooting trial @Kgfeden talks to @KatyTurNBC about the possible considerations of a nearly all-white jury.
Join me this AM on @Morning_Joe. We’re talking about the significance of the R. Kelly guilty verdict for black women and society as a whole. Historically, black women are disproportionately affected by sexual assault, yet less likely to find justice through the legal process.
@ZerlinaShow Love the vibe whenever I get together with @ZerlinaMaxwell on @ZerlinaShow. Too bad it’s to discuss yet another example of institutional abandonment of sexual assault survivors.
It’s always my pleasure to stop by @AymanMSNBC and chat with @AymanM. Take a moment to see our discussion on the Governor’s office’s response to the damning AG report.
