SecState Rubio claims that no on has died because of USAID cuts and suggested that I had lied in my reporting. So here I show him photos of specific children who have died because of the Trump administration's reckless cancelation of aid: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

Thanks @lawandsociety.bsky.social !It's an incredible honor and especially meaningful for me as a jury researcher since Kalven was the coauthor of THE most influential research monograph, The American Jury (1966)!

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote.

Opinion | Trump’s Gulag Archipelago He is seeking to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop his administration from imprisoning anyone it wants, anywhere in the world.

President Trump is using the Abrego Garcia case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop him from imprisoning anyone he wants anywhere else in the world never to be seen or heard from again. His dream is to preside over a police state. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

Judge finds Johnston County’s death sentences poisoned by racism - The Center for Death Penalty Litigation Today, a Johnston County judge found that race played a key role in the death penalty trial of Hasson Bacote, influencing both the makeup of his jury and the decision to sentence a Black man to death....

Wasn't sure we'd see a ruling in this case since the outgoing governor commuted Bacote's sentence, but I am pleasantly surprised. I testified at this hearing last spring about a study @cmgrosso.bsky.social and I did on discrimination in capital jury selection.
