At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33.
Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.
Odd that big British and French and Irish and Israeli news organizations have already posted stories on this, but not yet the @nytimes.com or @washingtonpost.com.
