Judge Strikes Down Kennedy’s Vaccine Policies

🎉About. Damn. Time. 🎉

So much damage already done by RFKJ’s anti-science nonsense, but at least this ruling overrides the vaccine changes.

Let’s hope 🧠🪱 soon makes a speedy exit from the admin and goes back to whatever it is that rich nepo health influencer dilettantes do.

I have a new blog post up about gender differences in AI romantic companion use, and how they relate to the culture wars.

Alexander brothers convicted of sex trafficking in Manhattan federal court Three brothers, including two of the nation's most successful luxury real estate brokers, were convicted of sex trafficking Monday after a five-week trial.

“Victims testified [they] met the brothers at nightclubs, parties and on dating apps, and were attacked after accepting their invitations to all-expense paid getaways . . . . More than 60 women say they were raped by one or more of the brothers, according to prosecutors.” www.npr.org/2026/03/10/g...

I don’t drink coffee at all. They might kick me out of the academy over that.

A Dating-App Nightmare Millions of Americans connect online, but do they know who is receiving their messages?

“Modern social habits have, in some ways, made this process easier, Berrill and Mechanic said. The culture of digital introductions—dating apps, spontaneous meetups—means that people meet ‘under the most dubious circumstance’ with someone they don’t know . . . .”

Many thanks to @jtlg.bsky.social for a super well organized conference this weekend at which I got to discuss dating app shenanigans as well as others’ work on AI and much else!

next in the #ilwip "families & children" panel, @irinamanta.bsky.social with "swipe left: how dating apps betray users and enable predators," book forthcoming--revolves around harms that come from dating app use & users, incl violent offenses, health harms, emotional harms, revenge porn, etc.

Match, Hinge, OkCupid, and Panera Bread breached by ransomware group ShinyHunters claims to have stolen millions of records from Match Group dating apps and Panera Bread, with very different consequences for users.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

"In at least 4,421 cases, more than 400 federal judges ruled since the beginning of October that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is holding people illegally as it carries out its mass-deportation campaign."

Thank you for the kind words!

Czechoslovakia’s Lesson for America: Lawyers are Key to Peacefully Defeating Authoritarianism—Help Them Romania had to kill its tyrant and his supporters to make room for democracy because it had no legal route to oust him

The dictator who destroyed Romania's legal system faced a 55-minute show trial before his execution. Even his own lawyer joined the prosecution. When you kill the rule of law, there's nothing left to protect you.

@irinamanta.bsky.social

Superb, informative, important piece that can help us identify effective means of resistance to peacefully topple our dictator-in-chief:

My article “Tinder Backgrounds” (forthcoming in the Georgia Law Review) is quoted/cited in a letter that @hassan.senate.gov and Sen Blackburn wrote to Match Group about their safety practices back in September. I wonder if they ever got a response. 🤔
