Hey there! Sorry to be a bother, but I think you have an inadvertent typo in Olga Madar’s name.

@erikloomis.bsky.social 's discussion of Loewe v. Lawlor is a great example of this point, but it is difficult to overstate how much "judges hate unions" can explain a huge number of otherwise doctrinally-unbound labor law cases.

They get mad over on twitter about following federal law, in this case 8 U.S.C. § 1158

One Bill After Another

We need to agree on abbreviations for the 2021 "Build Back Better Act" and the 2025 "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" because I just saw the latter referred to as BBB, which seems unnecessarily confusing. "BBB" and "OBBB" seem right?

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

People like to make fun of us in Massachusetts for insisting we’re a Commonwealth: as if the word is pretentious—and not our communist declaration of principles.

It's interesting that Maura Healey is upset at the false suggestion that Massachusetts is a sanctuary state, not the fact that it isn't one.

The Red Line's Old Trains Can't Cope With the Cold - Streetsblog Massachusetts The T is running less than half as many trains as usual on its busiest subway line after it pulled some of its oldest trains from service.

Dear @massago.bsky.social please consider legal action to get our Red Line trains back in manufacture. The system has broken down as it continues to try to operate ancient subway cars. #mapoli transit riders deserve 21st century service. mass.streetsblog.org/2026/01/28/t...

anyway I do not think a school district's funding should be indexed to its local property taxes, funding should be proportional and equitable

an enterprising flyposter in Great Barrington, MA references the town's history as the site of the first open resistance to British rule in the colonies

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

I wish that the time of monsters had not happened in my time.

babe wake up it's a general strike

actually giddy at the thought of minnesota’s general strike starting today

Happy Taft Hartley Compliance Day, To All Who Celebrate! #ICEOUT

ERISA is exhausting and infuriating enough on its own

"Minnesota is deeply grounded in the values of community, compassion, dignity, and solidarity. The violent actions of federal agents have had profound effects on families and communities across our city and state, creating an environment of chaos, fear, and disruption in our neighborhoods. This federal operation has made life difficult for many residents to shop for groceries, go to work, take their children to school, or keep their small businesses open. When residents are brutalized and profiled, families are torn apart, and children are arrested, our communities are not any safer. We continue to demand that ICE, and all federal agents leave our state immediately. Minnesotans have a long tradition of activism, protest, and civic engagement during significant inflection moments in our state. A broad coalition of labor organizations, faith communities, community-based organizations, students, small businesses, and workers have called for a statewide Day of Truth and Freedom as a time for solidarity, community, mutual aid, and protest. The Minneapolis City Council fully supports this action as a time to exercise your constitutional rights, to express support for our neighbors, and demand the end of this federal occupation. We acknowledge and respect the diverse ways individuals, families, essential workers, students, and businesses may choose to observe this day and support our community. Together, with our community, the City Council reaffirms our commitment to civic expression, community safety, and our immigrant neighbors. We will continue the work of ensuring justice, freedom, and dignity for all during and beyond this occupation."

Statement from the entire Minneapolis City Council in support of a General Strike and Day of Truth & Freedom on January 23rd.

Brb using this precedent to create an NLRB swat unit that can, on the orders of ALJs, enter workplaces where union busting has been alleged and hold the manager incommunicado until the hearings the next year.

If you can’t run against the fucking Gestapo, then get out of the way for those who can.

Labor law professors making bad puns: it’s more likely than you might expect!

I 8(b)(4) I voted.

From @jamellebouie.net: “All occupations resemble one another in some way, and it is striking to read descriptions and accounts of the occupation of Boston in light of events in Minnesota.”

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Three generations of law professors making history up is enough.

Scholars spend decades researching and writing history with nuance and care.

American law professors will take a couple of months to relearn all of science to explain why the world is, in fact, flat.

GBLS atty: “We remain deeply concerned by the ongoing delays [UI] claimants are facing when attempting to access unemployment insurance benefits.”

One thing we will need when power changes hands is broad Congressional action to (1) retroactively eliminate “qualified immunity and (2) unmask these goons so that the countless victims of these attacks can get recompense in court.

We want to be absolutely clear: If you are sick, please do not delay getting medical care, regardless of whether we are on strike. We invite you to come join us on the strike line after you've gotten the care you need. We are out here so we can provide better patient care to you!

Nearly 15,000 NYSNA nurses from Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and West, Montefiore, and NewYork-Presbyterian are on strike today because greedy hospital management have given frontline nurses no other choice.
