Front page of this morning’s Irish Times. Me too Una, me too.

I'm so grateful to Don for allowing me to use his platform to ruminate about yesterday's Trump v Barbara arguments and to connect the historical analysis of my book to present politics.

Blueskis asking for opeds, here's one which is an appetizer for your brain if you're curious about my book.

Jonthan Gienapp's book Against Constitutional Originalism, A Historical Critique with an abstract image of the US flag at the top

RE: the whole "literature" that is now furiously being manufactured by a handful of law professors on birthright citizenship to backstop the unconstitutional EO, anyone can do historical analysis, but it take training + time to do it properly. There are standards of historical accuracy. See 👇 1/

Hello.

Holy. Shit. OUP tells me the delay in paperback order today is because the first run already sold out! 🙏 to everyone who bought, I am so grateful. 🥹

The paper will be back in stock mid-April, ebook availability is being fixed. I spent 16 years writing this thing hoping someone, anyone would read.

Will Platner win the primary?

Well said Anna, and not that long ago at all. Still in some circles this research is seen as just not central, so can be easily disposed of, if necessary. It’s a constant push.

Always. With you Anna.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

Trump is unleashing sadism upon the world. But we cannot get overwhelmed | Judith Butler Those who celebrate his defiance and sadism are as claimed by his logic as those who are paralyzed with outrage

It’s easy to meet his disgusting form of sadism with hatred. I often feel that way. But if that’s all we have, then we are trapped inside his sick logics. We are bigger than that. Dig deep into the best your imaginations.

Do that in whatever way works for you: think of the past, think of the future, make art, sing songs, cook, hang out with good friends, love, write, contact your reps and tell them what you want, march in protest. That is resistance, that is real freedom. It matters. Don’t give up, don’t give in.

Noticing that everything seems sped up and wondering why? Read this book!

CPS has put out a lot of info to their staff about what to do and yes, they will deny entry. If there is a judicial warrant signed and everything, they are to call their legal folks and tell them to wait.

Why isn't every Dem social media feed in the country elevating Budde's call-out of Trump right now?

Brake up with Fake News

Danish national lexicon will no longer advertise on social media. This decision follows Meta's decision to deprioritise fact-checking.

Going forward, Lex.dk will spend its advertising budget on independent, national media that are committed to democracy.

Rest in peace Jimmy Carter, a model of hope and integrity, so sorely needed in these troubled times.

Always! I’ll be there in a week, doing the same!

Well said Anna!

Perfect!
