For the last day of my rule of law seminar, I assigned a less-well-known article about European administrative law by Bas Schotel. I really think it's worth reading for Americans, because it also describes many of the weapons Trump's authoritarianism uses: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Pope Leo: "The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters.”
Genuinely depressing to me that your partner has to Doordash to raise money for your cancer treatment when you get old. What happens if you don't have a partner? Are we just working to pay a landlord and save up for a medical emergency when we're elderly?
“Sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity” might be one of the craziest bars I’ve ever heard
15 people have died in ICE custody JUST THIS YEAR.
That is 1 death a week.
Under this regime, 2026 is set to be the deadliest year for ICE detention EVER.
The need for guardrails and meaningful oversight could not be more urgent.
He’s a really wonderful man. Genuine, warm, high EQ—& I could tell from just one guest lecture.
Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic
I wonder if there was some sort of reason the Founders routed the war power through Congress rather than the whim of one person. Probably not.
the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes
& we need Hakeem change in NY-8.
We need Hakeem change in NY-8.
Humanity needs as many Zohrans as possible
Incidentally, I talked to one of those (very distraught) 1Ls recently—and told her, “Go to @gowder.io’s office, shut the door, and say I sent you to talk shit.”
Lolled thinking of C*l*br*s* seeing this while en route to teach “The Constitution? Or, Whatever Daddy Wants” to his captive audience of 1Ls
Good Evening, “IL-9 Congressional Primary” was a 12 month sociological study conducted by Northwestern University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

No offense to these hard-working journalists—but I don’t need to explore your database, they’re just racketeering out in the open now
This is an UNBELIEVABLY HUGE #dataprivacy story (one that likely affects every single journalist & activist & confidentiality-head #onhere)
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
"People have to give birth in their homes in secret, because if they were to go to a hospital to have their baby, masked agents of the state would abduct them....This is lived reality right now. This is the country you live in."
JVL and Tim Miller on what they saw in Minneapolis.
I fully expected this cockroach to die with his career intact—& I’m sure he did, too. Glimmers, glimmers.

DHS agents used facial recognition technology and license plate readers to monitor observers in Maine who were keeping tabs on federal immigration agents. The federal law enforcement officers would then threaten protesters. trib.al/tmO8ayI
We're all sending the same $100 among each other as the rich get unimaginably richer by the hour.
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
