I just received my 2nd Moderna booster vaccine, and I feel good! I am still going to wear my mask and keep my distance because the virus ain’t over, Fool! Grrr

There’s a wink-and-nod game being played right now tht those who acknowledge the construct of race are being racist/race obsessed, that CRT is bad because it “forces” people to acknowledge the role of race in a society built on it. This 700 pp book is a *survey* of US race laws.

A panel of Harvard professors concluded that Lorgia García Peña, a beloved Latinx-studies professor, was a victim of discrimination. When they strongly recommended that her case be reviewed, Harvard refused. https://t.co/M37NFXb5fL

“There’s so much complexity to how we relate to each other in the workplace and whether or not [Black women] feel comfortable showing up as their self,” said Camille Lloyd. “Those pressures are not always there when you’re thinking about remote work.”

Hey #lawtwitter — @public_rights is searching for early career lawyers who want to join state and local government offices and stand up for the rights of marginalized community residents. A short thread about some work of our current and past fellows. /1

You know who we don’t discuss enough on here? THOMAS HOBBES

So pull up a chair and let me try to persuade you that his theory provides important insight into the shitshow we’re living through.

Great news! This means the Biden Administration is likely to scrap Trump’s horrible public charge rule, which is essentially a wealth test for immigrants & has scared many from accessing services they're legally eligible for. We sued to stop it, and hope it’s soon gone for good!

[Jonathan Miller @_millerjon]

So proud of the hard work put in by @public_rights fellow Lauren Miller as part of @cookcountysao @SAKimFoxx team & among a large coalition of amazing advocates who fought tirelessly to bring down this horrible & backwards public charge rule #homeishere

[Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono]

Today marks the 79th anniversary of FDR’s Executive Order 9066 paving the way for the illegal incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII.

Born out of prejudice and fear, these dangers give rise to discrimination even now. We must stand and confront our history—together.
