Nothing worse than getting stuck in a bunker and you just don’t have the talent to get out. Except having an idiot for a President. That’s always worse.

Commencement. If AI is your friend you need better friends. Human ones, for starters.

Hug your law students this week. Graduates are wrapping up this epic experience. 1Ls will grind through the last exams of a challenging year. 2Ls can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. Always appreciate the epic in you and those you love. Here we go. . . @louisvillelaw

The final rite of passage for @louisvillelaw 1L students before finals was made possible yesterday through the grace of Judge @juliekaelin Judge @annieoconnell33 Judge Mitch Perry, @i.am.mckay.chauvin and #jeffersoncircuitcourt staff and sheriffs. Dean @profmelbjacobs and Molly Stanley were key.

Enjoy your trip Kentucky. You’ve shown us it’s actually not a long one. #CharlieKirk was a racist. Among other things. He shouldn’t be honored. He should be forgotten as soon as possible. Or, remembered only as a warning that White Supremacy is always right around the corner.

Rest in Peace #katelynhall. We’re doing this wrong. The best defense the officer has is that this is how we’ve trained and tolerated our police. That protocols were followed. I think they We have to demand better because shooting and killing a woman whose family called for help is not good enough.

For the 2nd straight year two members of the @louisvillelaw National Mock Trial Team swept the finals of the !L Moot Court competition today! Different disciplines with the same goals. Congratulations to @annie__flores and @shelbyyhamm and to all of the future advocates who competed.

He had everything but wanted more. He went to the crossroads and instead of selling his soul to play guitar he sold it and the nation itself for a little more power. He, nearly alone, could have stopped Trump but he bent his knees instead, his legacy now down there on the floor with him.

Any law firm that hires fired Attorney General #PamBondi is morally compromised. Their practice should be investigated by their state bar associations, and present and prospective clients should be shunned. Period.

The @kygop Know-Nothings tell you this is about financial responsibility but they’re lying. This is about tearing down higher education: Teach the MAGA Way or get out. Sadly, the universities have already demonstrated their willingness to be complicit.

Every Tomahawk Cruise Missile costs you $3.M. You. It costs you. Our war plan is so poorly conceived that in addition to killing Iranian school girls with them we’re using them to shoot down $20,000 drones because our leadership isn’t just immoral it’s incompetent.

Yes, No Kings. But Trump Is Only One Of Them. What’s Next?

These are not actors, there is no script, and this is not a play. @phoebeshown objects to @bergen_cornelius as the @butlerhighprelaw jurors watch in trial action today @louisvillelaw. The verdict was guilty and these 3Ls and their co-counsel were also guilty of being outstanding young trial lawyers.

ICE is not there to help TSA lines. It’s a show of force. It’s another test of what we’ll accept. It’s a threat.

The @kygop moves to impeach a circuit court judge because for them it’s never about the law. It’s simply about power, used maliciously and arrogantly. This isn’t Justice. It’s Just Us.

First published TEN years ago, and too many times since. #marchmadness @louisvillewbb, of course, marches on. Will @kentuckywbb?

#ICE going to work TSA? What could go wrong?

“Duke is a 2nd half team!”

Yeah. That’ll happen when they’ve been to the line 20 times already, you’ve been 7, you have 3 players in foul trouble, and you can’t guard anymore.

Every game.

Throw. The ball. To. The people. On. Your own team.

The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists has joined Amnesty International, Reporters Without Borders, and 38 other Free Press organizations from around the world to condemn the unlawful arrest of journalist Estefany Rodriguez by ICE and demand her immediate release.

For Donald Trump. For Israel. For Genocide. For oil. For distraction. For billionaire child molesters. For the other billionaires. For the midterms. For the Republicans. For the Supreme Court majority. For ICE. For Pete Hegseth. But not for America. Not for me. Not for you.

Of course the enormous data center was sent to Rubber Town. The City’s explanation? “Well, all of the other nasty factories are already there”. Yeah, spend $200K to put back the statute even France didn’t want, but make it tell the truth.

Miami players: “Are you telling me they will call a foul on my defender every single time I make an offensive move?”

“Say less, fam”

“If you’re going to put your hand in your pocket during trial do it elegantly like Cary Grant would” I told my law students.

“Cary Grant” I repeated. Blank stares.

“George Clooney?” Stares.

Arthritis can’t compete with this pain.

Coming to a courthouse near you soon: @louisvillelaw students who know How To Do Things. @annie__flores @bravox.99 @lochjessmonstr and @maddielhurley are WAY ahead of schedule.

America always comes for what Appalachia has and just takes it. Including its people.

He’s a monster but he’s keeping your taxes low
He’s a monster but the Dow is over 50,000
He’s a monster but he made it safe for you to hate

Of course, as always, it’ll be the poor who die, disproportionately. The poor here. The poor there. While old men play games to protect themselves. Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
