Barred and Boujee aka Madiba Dennie

I had two 5-year-olds chasing me at a kids’ birthday yesterday, and I threw on the brakes, gave them a little juke, and then hit the gas, and they collided with each other where they thought I was going to be and went down in a crying heap. Absolutely cooked their asses. One of the kids was mine.

The Trump Administration’s Campaign to Undermine the Next Election The executive branch is interfering in U.S. elections in unprecedented ways.

I’m not a doomer, but seeing all of this stuff laid out in one place, combined with seeing continued reports of businesses and universities and law firms capitulating to threats, combined with SCOTUS seemingly rubber stamping everything, makes me really, really apprehensive.

It's the going for help with Pritzker that makes this truly remarkable and potentially a sign of national Democratic coordination

There has never been a better time to draft language for an amendment to the Constitution for the complete public funding of campaigns, with the campaign premised on the promise that no one will ever be asked to donate another penny to a politician ever again

keljfw oh my God lol. when you put it like that

they in cahoots

Ok but what if I believe people who put $50,000 in a shoebox are silly whether or not the shoebox is AI-generated

This is how I learned that Leahy is a Batman superfan and has had cameos in several movies, plus the animated series!

This is the second time I have experienced a smol earthquake while in my apartment, and both times it felt like something was going on on the roof? Maybe it has something to do with being on the top floor of our building, idk 🤷🏾‍♀️

Oh shit, that's what that was?

Thank you so much!

hell yeah

Nice to see a win

A nontrivial chunk of chapter 3 The Originalism Trap is me being like, let me count the ways in which Shelby County reads like each of John Roberts's braincells were replaced by rocks. And also the rocks were racist.

Strongest reaction = Infinity War. Nothing else close.

Funniest reaction = Barbarian. There was a problem with our screening and they had to repeatedly rewind and restart it around the forced breastfeeding scene. A kid in the back yelled out, "I seen this man suck this titty three times!!!"

I had my newspapers though! So Mama's carpet was safe 😇

hxjdj the flashback this gave me

The fam was watching Signs in the living room but freshly cooked soup was in the kitchen

Mom didn't wanna let me eat in the living room like No you'll spill

I say 'no I won't!' (but I laid newspapers for spill-protection)

Then that scene happens

Soup goes flying

the voting rights act is, in its entirety, obviously constitutional under the 15th amendment, which gives congress broad and proactive authority to stop racial discrimination in voting. and you know it is obviously constitutional because roberts has had to invent entire new doctrines to gut it.

PS Mike turns somethingsomething years old today and I encourage you to give his campaign a Happy Birthday Mike Donation 🤗

They hear us Why people must keep speaking truth to power about this Supreme Court

Kavanaugh let the secret out this week. Our voices matter - thoughts on we must keep up the public discourse and advocacy around this MAGA #SCOTUS - engaging our people to create an info environment based in reality.

Building on reflections from @sifill.bsky.social + @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social

Favorite little salon assistant was in the house

*hard* agree

frustrated bc yes I wrote The Originalism Trap in anticipation of and in efforts to confront shit like this but also I really wish it wasn't so damn relevant all the time

39th & 40th Congress: we are writing these constitutional amendments to give the federal government the power to address racial inequities and enforce a set of national civil rights

Roberts Court: but what if you didn't

Thank you!

I don't mind! Thanks for asking
