That quote could apply to so much more than just AI.

Sign of the times, but I’m now worried you’ll spark originalist approaches to tic tacs

So sad, and as you say, so unnecessary.

If only we knew of a process that could make raw milk safe.

(I see your sarcasm and raise you sarcasm plus exasperation)

Too easy for an exam question.

Not opposed to the group shirt, not sold that this is the one.

I was going to email them to say how much I appreciated their important article.

Can we agree it’s absurd to omit author names on student Notes? #LawReview editors, please end this practice.

Today I starting reading a Note and wanted to reach out to the student. No author listed, not even at the end. Let’s stop devaluing student work!

As January is National Slavery & #HumanTrafficking Prevention Month, it’s as good a time as any to hold all involved with Epstein accountable. Well, as good a time except for any other day in the last however many years that the govt has been sitting on that information.

Big Ideas for Kids: A Blueprint for Building Government That Works for Children From commissions to commissioners, it's time to institutionalize our support for children.

Very much appreciate this recent coverage of the #VR3model, which is my attempt at a framework for building more child-supportive institutions. Grateful to @brucelesley.bsky.social, whose work I truly admire, for this coverage.

Years ago, I had an offer pulled from a journal because as the student editor apologetically explained, their professor approached them last minute with an article and they felt they had to defer.

I got the Muzak version of Lenny Kravitz’s Fly Away on my flight. Also troubling.

Surreal. But also a reminder that advances don’t guarantee progress (not a comment on your posts or even this platform in particular).

In spite of <waves hands around vaguely>, I'm back on my optimistic bullshit for the holiday season.

Wrote in the Columbia Human Rights Law Review Online about how we can maybe use climate litigation to bring about transformative change: hrlr.law.columbia.edu/hrlr-online/...

The winter break is mostly myth.

Money Matters: The Nation’s Retreat from Kids Federal spending on children has dropped to historic lows, but the steepest cuts are ahead.

First Focus on Children released our annual report yesterday, Children's Budget 2025. The findings show a 30+% decline in the share of federal funding to children from 2021 to Trump's FY 2026 budget proposal.

Happy to share my latest article, in which I propose a new framework that can help gov't agencies become more supportive of children.

Important week next week as the UN will start work exploring new int’l law on the right to education. It’s time: every country must commit to ensuring every child can access education

Thks to @bedeonkidrights.bsky.social for sharing my essay & for his leadership on the issue

How would 1,000 pre-school children choose to improve education? ‘Make all schools free and put lots of toys in the playground’ - Nursery World What would pre-school children across the world do to improve access to early years education? Erini Gkouskou found out.

Let's end the outdated notion that children aren’t mature enough to participate in decisions that affect their lives (it's their right!). Remarkable insights from pre-school children in this study

Guest essay: To be anti-trafficking requires support for education rights | CNN Instead of attending school, millions of children are exploited in forced labor. But education itself can be a key solution to tackling child labor, writes law professor Jonathan Todres.

My recent essay for @cnn.com on the importance of supporting #Education rights for all children.

Finally joined @bsky.app. Kicking off with an article that @ursulak.bsky.social & I published recently on #Sport, #ChildRights, and #HumanRightsEducation — fair to say I’m obsessed about all three.
