Given the terrible atrocities of last weekend, the message of this new documentary about our Charlottesville case is even more urgent. Extremism that is tolerated leads in only one direction -- loss of human life, breakdown of civilization & degradation of our common humanity.
Tonight, HBO premieres "No Accident," a documentary chronicling Robbie Kaplan and Karen Dunn's legal efforts against the neo-Nazis that marched on Charlottesville, Va. in the infamous "Unite the Right" rally in 2017:
I can't stop thinking that these stunning and tragic stanzas from Anna Akhmatova's most famous poem "Requiem" must be going through Iulia Navalnaya's mind ever since she learned that her husband Alexei Navalny had died. True bravery.

This really would have made a huge difference in educating the public about the dangers of white nationalism at our conspiracy trial in Charlottesville.
Threatening independent watchdogs that inform the public about wrongdoing is the kind of thing tyrants do.
It's time for a legal guarantee of transparency, accountability, and responsibility for social media companies.
For years, women have been unfairly blamed for women’s college basketball not becoming a bigger fixture in sports. Now that the game has delivered a generational star, blockbuster ratings and a dynasty in one tournament, will the gatekeepers finally stop standing in their way? My…

I first met
@maura_healey
when we worked together on challenging the constitutionality of the the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. She is the real deal and will be a great governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
It’s official:
@Maura_Healey
will be our next governor! We’ve elected a woman who fights to protect working families—a warrior who’s gone toe to toe with for-profit colleges and Big Oil—and it’s a great victory for the people of Massachusetts. Woo-hoo!
Please give this a watch this weekend. Sadly it’s more relevant than ever.
Forces of hate will keep trying to pull us apart — but we stand together and reject this crap.

This is spot on and consistent with widely-held views among psychologists today about how experiencing trauma impacts the brain, as we showed at the first Carroll v. Trump trial.
So today is ten year anniversary of SCOTUS decision in U.S. v. Windsor. A little hard for me to believe. Here are my thoughts with Brandon Trice of

The message of this new documentary about our Charlottesville case is even more urgent today. Extremism that is tolerated leads in only one direction -- loss of human life, breakdown of civilization and degradation of our common humanity.
A shocking legal battle of everyday citizens vs. white supremacy in the seminal lawsuit against organizers behind the Charlottesville “Unite The Right” rally.

being a mensch is part of the job. We are so excited to have the legal profession's "top mensch" (also known as David Patton) join our law firm!
I am honored and humbled that the voters of New York’s 10th district have put their faith in me to represent them in Congress.
The responsibility of representing this community, my home, and the city I love is not one I take lightly.
Let’s get to work.
So proud. "Formation of Women’s Basketball Invitational Tournament is in response to the Gender Equity Report from
@KaplanHecker
that found “sufficient and longstanding disparities” between the NCAA’s men’s and women’s basketball championships."
I could not be any prouder of my partner

and the rest of the team at
@KaplanHecker
. Thanks to their heroic efforts, justice was done.
In fact, I would venture to say that
@bradhoylman
is the most prolific NY State Senator of all time, certainly of progressive, much needed legislation.
The NCAA announced the creation of the Women’s Basketball Invitational Tournament . . . a direct fulfillment of one of the recommendations highlighted in the Kaplan report, equalizing the number of postseason opportunities for men and women to 100 apiece.

Their entire world view is premised on "replacement theory" -- the idea that Jews are the masterminds of/responsible for everything they believe is bad in today's world (such as civil rights).
@JuliaRothwax
Read Nadezhda Mandelstam's Hope Against Hope. The reference to "stones" was a reference to her husband, Osip Mandelstam. He and Akhmatova were very close.
