So it is clear that black communities are overly surveilled and under protected. Hence the desire for safety and the position on crime. But ask another question about trust of the police and you will get a much more complicated picture.

Shadeur is everything I knew he was. 💪🏿
He’s proving it again right now. His accuracy and his understanding of the game.

From Senator Padilla:
"If this is the response to a senator with a question - I can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers.”

Proud to have appointed Justice Allison Riggs to the NC Supreme Court. Glad the people elected her. She will not put any political party, even her own, over the constitution. She believes in justice for all.

On the first #MemorialDay in 1865, freed Black people in Charleston gathered to honor Union soldiers who died fighting to end slavery. That legacy lives on. Today, we remember all who gave their lives in the fight for freedom, equality, and justice—at home and abroad.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to bring an end to the hostilities, whose heart-rending price is borne by children, the elderly, and the sick.

Cops say their fear is the only thing that can matter when judges decide if cops violated your rights.
In Barnes v. Felix, SCOTUS unanimously decided otherwise. We're proud to have filed a brief on behalf of the family of Ashtian Barne, urging the Court to put facts before fear.
The Constitution does not arrive in time to stop the killing. But will it even arrive after? My latest for @Slate examines Barnes v. Felix—a SCOTUS case that could redefine police violence and the Fourth Amendment. Whose fear counts? Whose death is legal? slate.com/news-and-politics/…
