Ken Griffin blasts the Biden administration at Davos— “You cannot imagine how painful it was each and every day under the Biden administration to look at what new crazy proposal was being put into place to solve a problem that didn't even exist.”

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 The @NAACP and @LawyersComm have joined forces and filed a lawsuit against Texas over Abbott’s racially gerrymandered redistricting maps. I’m proud of the NAACP for their continued efforts in leading the fight for racial justice in the U.S. This lawsuit is only the first of many to come from civil rights groups. I support these efforts and pray that Black and brown Texans regain proper representation. #TeamReynolds #txlege

Horrible tragedy in New Orleans ⚜️, at a time that is supposed to be so joyous. Prayers up for those lost and impacted. 🙏🏿 Hold your loved ones close. Life is precious.

That starts with ensuring that all applications of AI both defend and promote equal opportunity. The DHS Framework makes significant progress toward meeting those goals." Read more: dhs.gov/ai

We litigated this case w/@CampaignLegal, @protctdemocracy, and @adv_project on behalf of @AfricansUS, @LWVVA, and Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights. For a closer look at the people impacted in one part of VA, see this local news article: tinyurl.com/454mk9am

Today the Supreme Court allowed Virginia to purge U.S. citizens from the voter rolls on the eve of the election, in clear violation of federal law. The bloodlust of some states to silence their own people knows no bounds. And #SCOTUS is complicit. tinyurl.com/4nuh339k

@steve_vladeck This ruling is beyond ridiculous. My statement: instagram.com/p/DBxJ3I2yCLr/…

Over public dissents from the three Democratic appointees, and with no explanation, #SCOTUS clears the way for Virginia to remove more than 1600 registered voters from the rolls because of questions as to their citizenship status—even though we’re in the NVRA’s “quiet period”:

I'm grateful to our @LawyersComm voting rights litigators and our co-counsel at the @ACLU for helping to secure a full victory for our clients, the @gcpagenda and the @Georgia_NAACP.

The policy, adopted by a hyper-partisan majority of the GA State Election Board, would have required every vote cast by millions of voters to be counted BY HAND on Election Day. That would have ground democracy to a halt at a critical point in the election certification process.

BREAKING!💥More good news for #Democracy, again from #Georgia! Less than an hour after our @LawyersComm team left court following oral argument this evening, a judge issued an order permanently blocking Georgia’s infamous hand-count rule. Good riddance! lawyerscommittee.org/court-blocks-g…

Co-director of the @LawyersComm’s Voting Rights Project, Marcia Johnson, is working to ensure election worker safety, combat misinformation, and make voting more accessible. essence.com/gallery/black-… #BlackWomenLead #BlackWomenVote

BREAKING: Remember that politically-driven nonsense in Georgia about how certifying valid election results is somehow "discretionary"? Well, we and our allied co-counsel killed that in court today.👇🏾 #democracy #DemocracyIsOnTheBallot #votingrights #CivilRights @866OURVOTE

The DeMott family enslaved & buried dozens of Black people in Pequannock, NJ. @RutgersU recently held the remains of 4 Black people the DeMotts enslaved. NJ is profoundly shaped by slavery—a truth that’s been buried. The NJ Reparations Council was created to unearth the truth.

@LawyersComm President and Executive Director, @DamonTHewitt, breaks down the core facets of the AI Civil Rights Act, introduced by @SenMarkey. We remain a strong advocate and proponent for effective and equitable legislation to govern AI and other digital technology.

Thankyou, Sen. @EdMarkey for your leadership. Together, we’re sending the message that the tech industry’s incessant push for #Innovation and profit should never trump our #CivilRights. @LawyersComm #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalJustice #TechJustice #TechAccountability
