It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow. When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities.

On Monday, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone voice of dissent to a decision by the Supreme Court that will allow Louisiana Republicans the ability to immediately act upon last week’s decision that gutted the Voting Rights Act’s protections around redistricting.

This is not good, right?
