I’ve been told it’s a more engaging and quick read than most law review articles, which I’m choosing to take as a compliment. I hope you enjoy it (even if you only make it through the introduction).
Thanks to everyone who contributed along the way!

I dug deep into the 1969 #SCOTUS decision in Brandenburg v. Ohio and interviewed the ACLU’s young black attorney on the case, Rep. @EleanorNorton. Ultimately, I defend the speech-protective incitement rules from Brandenburg, arguing against the impulse to regulate online speech.

My goal was to tell a story about why I fight for #FreeSpeech. The essay ties my personal experience working with human rights activists throughout Africa with @ICNLAlliance to the @ACLU’s century-long mission to expand first amendment protections here in the US.

If I’ve seen you in the last year, chances are you heard me moaning about finishing a law review essay addressing, among other things, why the ACLU defends the rights of KKK members. Well, is finally out in the world here: brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/cgi/viewconten… pic.twitter.com/yzMeL8vBqn

And another anti-trans bill is gone in South Dakota. The sponsor has pulled SB 93, which would have encouraged parents to withhold treatment for their trans kids. We still have the big fight over HB 1057 in committee on Monday. Keep up the pressure!

I’m so tired of debating whether or not race-based mascots, tomahawk chops and red face are offense.
Of course it’s racist. You all know it’s racist. Can you just admit you don’t give a shit about Native ppl?

BREAKING: The Jacksonville city council just voted to test the DNA and fingerprints found at the scene of the crime that Ledell Lee was executed for in 2017.
It’s too late for Ledell to get justice, but it’s never too late for the truth.

For the record #Nigerian immigrants have added as much to the US as anybody (been to a hospital or watched the NFL recently?!).
And #Eritreans are fleeing forced unpaid permanent military conscription and economic collapse.
So cruel.

A still darker day. Thinking of my #Naija and #Habesha people.
Never forget that every person has the same right to freedom of movement.
I can go basically anywhere in the world I want, and that hurts.

The Trump administration wants to prohibit graduate student workers from unionizing. They say it's to protect "academic freedom," but that's anti-labor bunk.
My colleague Arianna Demas breaks it down:
