Frighteningly good, #KillingCounty is a fascinating, important, and damning docuseries that exposes institutional racism. Everyone who sees it should demand answers.

Ketanji Brown Jackson is giving a mini history lesson on the 14th Amendment, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the need to put formerly enslaved Black people on equal footing with white people.
“The entire point of the amendment was to secure rights for the freed former slaves.”

Justice Jackson just asked a question that no honest originalist could possibly answer the way the challengers to using race to comply with the Voting Rights Act are answering it. Her use of the 14th Amendment’s history was irrefutable without perverting its original meaning.

To shed some light on the process of creating Amend: The Fight For America, Robe Imbriano (@robesees) and Michelle Adams (@mvadams12) of @CardozoLaw made an appearance on the pod. You can view the whole docuseries, featuring Michelle and our very own Melissa Murray, on Netflix.

"I do not support the death penalty." This week @AlabamaPPC's Callie Greer, whose son was the victim of gun violence, shared her powerful testimony with @ABC's @SoulOfANation, joining @EJI_org's Bryan Stevenson & others. #SoulOfANation #DeathPenalty #PoorPeoplesCampaign

Black suffragists had to fight for the vote long after white women were granted access. Martha Jones chronicles this history in her book “Vanguard”. Watch her conversation with Leslie Harris of @NorthwesternU #WomensHistoryMonth2021

By 35, my old man had no degree. He had a wife & 4 kids. By 42, he was seated in a lecture hall in North Carolina, US, for his first master's class. By 45, he was lecturing his own students in campus. Life has no formula - only purpose & tenacity. Know your race & run it.

It is terrific just hearing the words of the #FourteenthAmendment read aloud, & then #Amend paying close attention to what those words actually say & mean. #WatchAmend

Yes. @Sifill_LDF and @vanitaguptaCR among the many great narrators on the Netflix film about the 14th Am. #WatchAmend
First observation is a great point from @Sifill_LDF: many folks commonly think of "freedom" in terms of the 1st and 2nd amendments, right? But most of the ways we're "free" really come from the 14th, which defines citizenship. #Amend #WatchAmend

Oh yeah. Mahershala Ali voicing Frederick Douglass? @marthasjones_ on citizenship? ❤️

Dred Scott an early example of lousy originalism: Taney reasons that the founders wouldn't have considered Africans to be eligible for citizenry. So just not part of what the term "citizens" encompass. #watchamend @MyConstitution

Next time you get stage fright, think of Frederick Douglass in 1852, invited to give a sweet, happy July 4 speech to 600 white people, and instead getting up there and reminding them about the sounds of a slave mother crying as she watched her baby get sold #Amend #WatchAmend
Frederick Douglass’s July 4 speech is one of the greatest in American history. Everyone should read it. #WatchAmend #Amend
