Associate Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson will end up being one of the heroes of this era if ever there are historians in the future who write about the fall of the United States

She will almost never be in the majority on a major ruling, but she will have been the conscience of America

The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868. It guarantees:

✔️ due process for all
✔️ birthright citizenship
✔️ equal protection under the law

Now more than ever, we're determined to protect these essential rights.

Therapy isn't just for crisis. It's not a secret for those who “can't handle life.” It's for the self-aware, the brave, and the gloriously chaotic humans juggling life without flipping tables every Thursday.

With graceful defiance, wisdom and a desire to age with dignity and purpose, I sat and wrote a poem after a meeting in which I realized my experience might not be seen as expertise but rather as an expiration.

“Let Me Age Like This”

@udelaware.bsky.social Even after finishing my graduate program, I continue to be inspired by the incredible Prof. Wendy Smith. She was truly one of the highlights of my academic journey.

🌿 Life happens—sometimes around you, sometimes to you. And let’s be real, not everything is within your control. That can be overwhelming, especially if you're someone who feels deeply and cares immensely. 💙

#Therapy is so helpful. Yesterday, I learned about EFT tapping.

This is disgraceful and un-American. The Trump administration defended its removal of articles highlighting the achievements of minority service members, including Navajo code talkers, Marines at Iwo Jima, and famed Black baseball player Jackie Robinson.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history!

Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.
