Desgrecia

My English accent is starting to mimick the vocal fry and I want to die.

proper pronunciation of words like “operationalization”? Nah.

Speaking like a socal girl? You got it

Me: sometimes I stay up all night and I don't go to bed. It's called "bonus time".

My loved ones: no it's not.

When people first hear about "jawboning" -- meaning government pressure to suppress speech through threats and other extra-legal measures, like what the FCC is doing now -- they always want to talk about "coercion" by the govt.

I've always thought this is a red herring. Current events show why. 1/

Legal experts say pulling Jimmy Kimmel from air may amount to illegal 'jawboning' Free speech scholars say ABC's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely represents "jawboning," when government officials pressure private companies to suppress speech.

La lección más importante que me dejó el año pasado fue aprender a ser flexible y adaptarse al cambio.

Frenar en seco y repriorizar cosas es normal y está bien.

EFF to Court: Protect Our Health Data from DHS The federal government is trying to use Medicaid data to identify and deport immigrants. So EFF and our friends at EPIC and the Protect Democracy Project have filed an amicus brief asking a judge to b...

ICE is going after taxpayer data, food stamp data – and now health data. This violates federal privacy laws. Check out our amicus brief in the lawsuit against HHS disclosing Medicaid data to DHS.

I’ve been posting at the dumpster fire again due to even more erosion of the rule of law in Mexico.

Coming back to bluesky always feels like a breath of fresh air. My feed is not filled with grok slump and red-pilled pundits.

Public-interest speech? Political speech? Prior-restraint? Right to protest? I will chose the interamerican system any day.

My hot take is that the inter-American free speech system and jurisprudence has the foundation to be more protective of speech than the 1A . Yet, there’s a lack of regulation around low-value speech or compelled speech that is hard to operationalize at national level.

There’s a lot of doctrinal mess in first amendment law. But once you see how it’s core principles influenced the protection of speech worldwide, you can’t unsee it.

Cada día tengo nuevas tendencias autodestructivas.
Decidí que prefiero aprenderme cada una de las excepciones de hearsay antes que leer una noticia de la elección judicial de mañana.

Mi profesor de modern surveillance law me chuleó uno de mis papers y siento que ya puedo morir en paz.

Anyways, reading the lawsuit at 9pm on a Saturday night clearly means that I lost control over my life.

And that it’s finals season. AGAIN.

*cries in quarter system*

It’s funny (not funny haha but funny weird) that I keep getting real-life hypos to test if I’m actually understanding my 1A class.

I read the Harvard lawsuit against DHS and the viewpoint discrimination doctrine finally clicked! *cries in international student*

En fin. Ya casi se me acaba mi break académico y pasando finales (y estando en mx) regresaré a quejarme sin pena.

Though ahora entiendo cómo le hacen para sacar tanta escucha en mx

En corto: si no eres us citizen o perm. Resident , se te meten hasta la cocina por cualquier cosa.

La cuarta enmienda no existe para nosotros jaja (llora)

Y ando especialmente encabronada después de que le entendí a la SCA y ECPA y ahora veo de donde sacamos esas reglas horribles de la ley telecom.
Solo que estos señores sí piden sus warrants (aunque es mil veces conseguir la info sin tener que usar la warrant)

Ando especialmente paranoica ahorita que le estoy entendiendo a la Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, o FISA para Los cuates.
No hay forma de ser extranjere y no sentirse deshumanizado cuando ves todo su alcance.

I’m loss for words.
I just want to graduate in peace.

Q&A from a talk I gave last week.

Q: "What do you think is the biggest threat in cybersecurity right now? Is it post-quantum computing? Is it AI?"

A: Fascism. It's fascism.

“Ya estoy extrañando ser abogada”
“No extrañas ser abogada, solo extrañas ser considerada como un agente epistémico de igual valor que los JDs”.

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

Y por qué me encantan estas ironías de la vida, claro que estoy tomando First Amendment en mi último quarter. Jajaja.

*llora en libex*

Amixes.
Sí sigo viva. Tengo una visa de estudiante que mantener hasta julio.

I’m chill(ed)

Can I Teach the First Amendment If I Only Have a Green Card? Protections on free speech look weaker than they did when I became a permanent resident.

I wrote about the surreal experience of teaching the First Amendment right now on a green card, teaching lofty doctrine while the government is rounding up people like me for things they say
