I look forward to working with @EACgov to ensure that the election regulations & policies of our country serve to protect one of our most fundamental rights as citizens– to have a voice in our own governance, the right to vote.

This work made me acutely aware of the impact of voting regulations on ordinary citizens seeking to realize enfranchisement.

As the Chair of the Alabama State Advisory Committee to the @USCCRgov from 2016-2020, I had the privilege to investigate and author a report that exposed barriers to voting in Alabama.

If you haven't read it yet you should check out @bd_highsmith's great piece on infrastructure costs in @nytimes https://t.co/aBlE9jy7OY. Great work out of @LimanCenter at @YaleLawSch.

The privatization of local public services that conservatives are pushing is a tax on all working people.

This Bill will have a devastating effect. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is an assault on already vulnerable children's very identities. It comes up on Wed. (2/10). Let your AL reps know this is not acceptable, it's horrifying.

If you haven't seen it yet, AL HB1 ( https://t.co/FBbb1GJNNL), euphemistically named "The Alabama Vulnerable Child Compassion & Protection Act", prohibits medical care (including hormone therapy) "intended to alter the appearance of the minor child's gender or delay puberty."

Our VOTE is our VOICE! I look forward to working with @POTUS to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and restore the full protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to ensure every American can make their voice heard at the ballot box!

So nice to see @RepTerriSewell as I watch the impeachment proceedings reminding me what responsible representation looks like in Alabama. Take note @RepMoBrooks and Sen Tommy Tuberville -- y'all might learn something.

George Washington thought about crossing the Delaware, but then he decided to go home because he was afraid of the danger to himself and his family. Right.

Finally, if you ever doubted that criminal systems fall more harshly on the poor and the marginalized, what we heard this morning and earlier lays this bare. The "law and order" caucus have twisted themselves to excuse, condone and applaud this behavior. This is not patriotism.

Call this out for what it is. It was a call for insurrection and we cannot act surprised when you organized, funded and called for this to happen. The violence we witnessed, the harm to the democracy, is a product of your words.

Others have said it, so let me add mine to their voices, if you won't impeach this President for what he has done, if you won't hold other elected officials accountable, you have no business governing our nation.

Listening to Republicans claim that there is "no evidence" that President Trump incited insurrection makes me wonder where these folks were during my clients' threats & conspiracy trials? How many times did I hear prosecutors say "words matter"?

Meanwhile, how can you expect this office to show fairness, compassionate, or say due process when it repeatedly engages in behavior like this? It's not funny, it's not ok, & it's certainly not in the spirit of Christmas.

Hard to say that I expect something less (or more) from the office that made a quilt out of signs asking for help. If you missed that, here's their apology for that

The post then promises to allow any "thug" who wants to show up to pick out one item from property & then get fitted for a "holiday jumpsuit." It then offers styling tips from repeat offenders for said jumpsuit.
