@RafaelMandelman You don’t have to trade equality and justice for safety. What a shameful disappointment you are.

Happy 70th Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.

She’s younger than 36 senators and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.

The past isn’t past.

The Supreme Court just issued a decision that will make it easier for unelected federal judges to strike down regulations that we all rely on every day to ensure our food, homes, air, and water are safe. https://t.co/aC4PpP57oc

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled today that cities can punish unhoused people for sleeping in public, even if they have nowhere else to go. 

We cannot arrest our way out of homelessness.

A year ago this week, the Supreme Court removed protections for 60% of the wetlands the country has left. As we reflect on the damage of Sackett v. EPA, here’s how advocates are fighting state by state to restore protections for our wetlands and waters. https://t.co/n9HQ3solLb

Our amazing client Sharon Lavigne made the Time100 list! Her organization @risestjames is fighting to #StopFormosa and prevent more fossil fuel pollution in Cancer Alley communities.

At last. This is a gigantic step forward in a generational fight against the chemical industry and its cancer-causing pollution. As my colleague Patrice Simms sums it up in the NYT: “In a very real sense this is about life and death.” https://t.co/mY5BLd3xFv

The White House could soon undo the damage that the previous administration did to the Endangered Species Act. "It's essential that the final rules fully recover the ESA," says @AbbieDillen. The ESA is our best tool for addressing the biodiversity crisis. https://t.co/CJ2GiJW8yJ

🧵 ON NYC SUBWAY BAG CHECKS

I'm from a family of lifelong New Yorkers. I went to NYU in the 80s and have spent more than 35 years in Manhattan since then. And let me say this:

National Guard bag checks have NOTHING to do with subway safety. This is about conditioning the public to accept brazen violations of civil liberties and rights.

Instead of criminalizing poverty, homelessness, and mental health, we could use the billions spent on military/cops to help people and improve quality of life for everyone.

Even for those who believe in policing, you could simply have safety officers in subway cars, rather than deploying the National Guard to violate Fourth Amendment rights.

Here are 18 environmental and health protections that the Biden administration must finalize ASAP. Add your voice to get these done! https://t.co/2qM9k8OcWl

Was @Sonos acquired by private equity or something? Super buggy. What’re the alternatives? #enough

We just appealed the court’s decision and filed a motion for an injunction, escalating this case to a higher court while asking the court to halt Willow's operations while our appeal is decided. We're gonna keep fighting to send the Willow project back to the drawing board.

BREAKING: Our client, the University of Florida Students for Justice in Palestine, is suing university leaders and Governor DeSantis for violating its First Amendment rights by ordering the deactivation of the group as punishment for a statement from the independent national SJP.
