Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

When talking about SNAP/WIC and any other program please don't use what is or isn't happening in YOUR specific state as universal truth. Some states will step in and cover costs... Others won't.

BREAKING: Letitia James has been indicted on one count of bank fraud in Virginia, charge brought directly by Lindsey Halligan, just like the Comey indictment.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Imagine in 2025, after all the times Black women warned literally everyone about everything that’s happening right now, announcing that Black women commentators are just very paranoid

When we have been right???????? This whole time????? About pretty much everything????????????!

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at sheryl@weikallaw.com if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

when you read specifically about all the horrific things done to Black people, it is an absurdity that there has not been major reparations. the Western world is a hypocritical and rotten world.

An important part of our conversation is about how the Black community should cope with a sense of powerlessness in this challenging time. Here’s an excerpt with a lesson from the great Alabama civil rights lawyer Hank Sanders.

I'm talking about 2026/2028 because I saw the disk horse when I logged in.

However, I think we may be a fair bit beyond electoral solutions for the pickle we find ourselves in as a nation. We've memoryholed the ramped up electoral suppression last year; all of that will be worse in 2026.

Justice Dept. Asks for 1-Day Sentence for Ex-Officer Convicted in Breonna Taylor Raid

They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be.

There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people.

The Laquan McDonald Email Dump Shows Rahm Emanuel’s Administration in Crisis Mode A guide to the documents released by City Hall in the aftermath of the Chicago police shooting.

It occurs to me that lots of folks have forgotten or never knew why Rahm Emmanuel is utterly unacceptable to segments of our community. I will not forget #LaQuanMcDonald, or who helped conceal evidence of how he was killed.
