I think I'm a Group 1 guy.

This.

I suppose I never looked all that carefully.

Kennedy Center Award Winner Visits Lincoln Memorial

#PaulStanley #KISS

A foolhardy prediction during the first year of a four-year term.

Hey first-year #law #student!
This scenario in today's NYTimes might well materiaize on your #Torts exam! Just sayin'.

The Memorial is tucked into a little triangle in the space where D Street, New Jersey Avenue, and Louisiana Avenue come together.

You should visit. It's an important reminder of what can happen when racism and xenophobia capture our nation's leaders.

Ahem.

I had the opportunity this morning to talk abt the legal history of Japanese American incarceration at the starkly beautiful National Japanese American Memorial in Washington, in the shadow of the Congress that sustained that program and the Supreme Court that validated key parts of it.

Well this answers a question I've had. In this Administration, you're celebrating #Christmas even when you're celebrating #Hanukkah.

And this is what it looks like today from the air. Same spot.

The ghostly streets of a city of more than 8,000 innocent, locked-up people.

This is what the site of the former Central Utah "Relocation Center" for Japanese Americans (1942-1945) looks like today from the road passing by.

Duh.

Go to Heart Mountain @heartmountain.bsky.social in Wyoming! It's very close to Yellowstone National Park. I led the curation of the core historical exhibit there in 2011. It's an extraordinary place--and now they've reopened an enormous root cellar the prisoners used to store the veggies they grew.

Tell him to be in touch with me. I can point him to an array of online sources.

Yes.

Fog of war, my civilian friend. Fog of war.

How a Kansas Republican Became Part of a Racist, Antisemitic Group Chat

So it seems that writing rank racist & antisemitic stuff & 👍-ing others doing the same makes you "a participant in a racist & antisemitic group chat." Not a racist antisemite.

I genuinely did not think adult humans were capable of this level of self-debasement.

I'm old enough remember when we were worried about Trump pardoning himself

George is absolutely right.

I'm not sure I've seen a crisper illustration of how insidiously normalization operates.

We're debating the *second* strike.

Oops, he did debate Harris. But here I imagine he's referencing the Biden debate. He's a babbling fool, but I don't believe he'd gratuitously slam Vance like this.

It was Biden in the first (and only) debate.

I think when he says, "I had a man, he had a man", he's saying that he had Joe Biden as an opponent and JD Vance had Tim Walz as an opponent. He's saying that Biden was incompetent, not JD Vance.

Here's what happens when history "goes big" w/the @maddow.bsky.social podcast treatment. ("shocking!" "bombshell!" etc)
Great she's bringing the story of Japanese Americans to new ears, but the breathless simplification is...a challenge.
#academicsky, #lawsky, #skystorians, #historysky, #BurnOrder

(f) the report alleged *all* US-born Japanese Americans who'd studied in Japan & then returned to the US were "at heart loyal citizens of Japan"

It's great Maddow's bringing the story to a wide audience.

A shame that it's oversimplified & sensationalized.

More commentary to follow, maybe.
