Proud to have been a part of this historic nomination at the White House and looking forward to confirmation. Special shout out to @LeslieProll for lifting up the importance of nominees with civil rights expertise - our courts must reflect the rich diversity of our country.

As someone who practiced civil rights law within 11th Circuit & who appeared before this Court, it was an honor to participate in this history-making day and to celebrate with Judge Abudu and @TonaBoydEsq who had worked in White House Counsel’s office to make this day happen.
❤️ that #CocoGauff thanked those who didn’t believe in her. Many women, particularly Black women, who achieve know exactly what she means.
“Thank you to the people who didn’t believe in me ... To those who thought they were putting water on my fire, you were really adding gas to it.” - Coco Gauff
Met another Janai tonight at the @HowardU v. @Morehouse football game. We are a small and growing tribe. She spells her name Janay and is @JanayThePrncess. Holla at us if your name is also pronounced JUH-nay.
Introducing Judge Natasha C. Merle of the Eastern District of New York, sworn in by Chief Judge Margo K. Brodie. You absolutely LOVE to see it.
Tree was a force. He shaped the legal profession and inspired so many (me, profoundly). His trial ad program and Criminal Justice Institute set the model for lawyering skill development. At the same time, he was dedicated to his students and had their backs. Rest In Power.
"’Tree,’ his friends say, could not have been more aptly nicknamed: He stood tall, offering protection and cover, and he was a force of nature who will continue to bear fruit for generations to come.” @NPR #CharlesOgletree npr.org/2023/08/04/119…
Happy birthday to my favorite thoughtful guy. Love you, always, @BarackObama. 🥰
Made it from the @weekendcapehart studio to the airport and thru security in 20 minutes to take mom to MV!
Awesome morning meeting and listening to the inspiring @TonaBoydEsq at @NCUEA summer meeting. When I told her about my daughter @shae_wors she was inspired and encouraged her to pursue law at Howard! One day I see my girl walking in this amazing woman’s footsteps!
Exactly 60 years ago today—Vivian Malone & James Hood were admitted to University of Alabama only after Deputy AG Nicholas Katzenbach confronted Governor George Wallace standing in schoolhouse door & demanded their entry. May we always remember their courage & commitment.
Thrilled, proud and honored to be @CarletonCollege’s 2023 Commencement speaker and to have been bestowed an honorary doctorate from my alma mater early this morning! 🙏🏾✊🏾🙏🏾
So proud of @RossDeuel & entire @NAACP_LDF and @ACLU voting rights teams for their incredible victory for democracy today. That it was this SCOTUS endorsing full enforcement of Voting Rights Act makes it all the more remarkable.
@SIfill_ Wes Allen probably somewhere like “Run for Sec of State, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. Your name won’t be forever attached to a plan even John Roberts called racist, they said.”
Hard to describe what it meant to give the commencement address @SpelmanCollege today and receive an honorary doctorate among this sea of Black women at an institution built to uplift Black women. Thank you, @SpelmanPres for thinking enough of me to grant me this honor.
