Call that man what you want, but TO ME, if your grandmama was a mixed-race Black Creole, your African ancestry is not "one drop".

That's several drops. A teaspoon, at least. #PopeLeoXIV

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

The thing is, Americans are already turning on Trump, and part of the reason is that Democrats are not being louder in denouncing him. If Dems yell about Trump being bad, Americans tune it out. If Trump Take Egg though, that's serious.

We have to deal in reality. This is reality.
