@kimberlecrenshaw.bsky.social is live with @perrybaconjr.bsky.social right now! newrepublic.substack.com
We must resist accepting the faulty logic of an illegitimate Court and organize around the kinds of systemic reforms necessary to stop democratic backsliding and rebuild a judicial system actually oriented toward justice.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 made multiracial democracy possible, and it should still fully be law of the land. There is no legal basis to roll back voting rights.
Yesterday’s baseless hearing on @splcenter.org had one purpose: undermine the civil rights infrastructure that works every day to keep Americans secure and free. Without organizations like SPLC, all of us are less safe. This weaponization will not end with SPLC, and we will not remain silent.
wonderful piece from @clintsmithiii.bsky.social that, among other things, makes abundantly clear that pete hegseth and the trump administration are engaged in a racist purge of black officers under the belief that being black and having "merit" are mutually exclusive.
In the wake of Louisiana v. Callais, ASALH President Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead, AAPF Executive Director @kimberlecrenshaw.bsky.social , historian Carol Anderson, and AAPF Senior Fellow Tim Wise break down what this moment means for our democracy.

The @theguardian.com interviewed our executive director, @kimberlecrenshaw.bsky.social, on her upcoming memoir—Backtalker—and what it means to fight for racial and gender justice in 2026.
I join so many Americans across the country in outrage over #SCOTUS’s egregious attack on voting rights in #Callais and reject this attempted erasure of Black citizenship. I’m grateful to @perrybaconjr.bsky.social for giving me an opportunity to speak about this moment.

I want to give a huge thank you to the NY Liberty @wnba.com team for choosing @aapf.org as a partner for this year’s Commissioner’s Cup. I couldn’t make it to game 1 but waking up to my favorite players holding copies of #Backtalker was AMAZING. Congrats on the Game 1 win ❤️
Had such an amazing time last night at @phbookstores.bsky.social 💙
Thank you so much for hosting me—it meant a lot. And huge thanks to my sister and fellow backtalker @nhannahjones.bsky.social for joining the conversation.
The perfect way to celebrate my book launch 📚✨
They devoted their lives to serving the United States. Now the nation’s top military leader is sending the message that they’re not welcome.
