"And this, the willingness to cast the failure of white people to effectively confront and contain the manifestations of violent white supremacy as Black civil rights failure, deserves a strong response." sherrilyn.substack.com/p/a-res

Shout out to a much maligned group - . Yes, there are some really awful ones, both prosecutors and defense. But there are some wonderful people practicing law and giving it their all. Like , , and so many others at EJI, Legal Defense Fund, ACLU and more organizations. Give them the respect they deserve for completing a difficult course of study and spending their lives speaking out for the rest of us.

' No sooner had the 2022 general election concluded than media outlets moved on to begin an obsessive focus on speculation about potential presidential candidates for 2024.... In short, Americans were once again being led away from engagement with the real work of citizenship and democracy, and driven towards the next political media moment. This is a disastrous course for us at this critical time. '

2023 is not a year for us to sit on our hands, says Sherrilyn Ifill.

' [So] much of the American public and political class have been trained to think in four and two-year political increments. In the in-between years, we are invited to return to the sidelines of observing political speculation and polling, rather than engaging in the rigorous and necessary work of citizenship. '
