Good morning from the U.S. Supreme Court! We’re here (not so) bright & (very) early for oral argument in our case challenging South Carolina’s racially discriminatory congressional map. It’s a textbook racial gerrymander & we’re ready to present our case to the Court. Go Leah…
the world would be better off if it had more actual, committed, principled pacifists. but I suspect that what we have instead are mostly people who believe that violence is only the legitimate province of some people, and what is morally required of everyone else is submission
🚨 BREAKING!🚨 The trial court in Alabama has adopted Remedial Plan 3 with 2 strong opportunity districts for Black voters! In 2024 Black voters will have a real opportunity to elect 2 members of Congress for the first time ever! Congrats to our clients and the whole team!
Great looking job in DOJ's Civil Rights division, interfacing between the data teams and the litigators working on policing (and I have it on good authority the closing date is 9/21, not 9/14) usajobs.gov/job/746670900
Boom: Federal Court Blocks Implementation of Mississippi’s New Voting Law. Congrats to the team @ACLU, @ACLU_MS, @splcenter @justice4ms @lwv @DisRightsMS aclu.org/press-releases…
Deeply grateful for @AywaRhiannon, who has an uncanny ability to cut to the heart of this revolting bullshit:
A Border Patrol agent killed a 15-year-old boy. The Supreme Court refused to hold him accountable. @AywaRhiannon's latest in a series about terrible Supreme Court decisions. ballsandstrikes.org/wild-pitches/t…

Wow. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissent.
Nusrat Choudhury will become the first Muslim woman and first Bangladeshi American in history to serve as a federal judge.
Congratulations to Nusrat Choudhury, legal director of the ACLU of Illinois, on her confirmation to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Nusrat is a trailblazing civil rights lawyer and her confirmation will be an asset to our nation’s legal system.
So many congratulations to @dale_e_ho - my mentor, my friend, the civil rights warrior who has taught me what it means to do this work, and do it right. It’s a bit bittersweet for me and the rest of your team @ACLU, but we couldn’t be more thrilled for you and the federal bench!
Congratulations to Dale Ho, director of our Voting Rights Project, on his confirmation to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Dale's integrity and unwavering commitment to justice are sure to make a profound impact on our nation's legal system.
Me watching the Senate vote on Dale Ho's confirmation right now. Democracy's lawyer. Amazing person. And will be one of our country's best judges.
