Interesting how much more violent the US was when it was less diverse.

Excellent and telling. The #NFLPA needs a shakeup.

I Studied Poverty for Years. Then I Ended Up on Medicaid. I Learned a Hard Truth That Everyone Should Know. The day I enrolled in Medicaid, I arrived at the welfare office carrying a designer bag.

"For the Medicaid families I know, leaving a job is something they consider when their child is near death or the demands of caregiving become too all-consuming and physically exhausting to work outside of the home."

Yep.

The Two-Pronged Attack on a Muslim Judicial Nominee How the smearing of Adeel Mangi became a bipartisan exercise.

This is why the Bove seat was vacant, and there’s a real throughline from the forces that defeated the previous Democratic nominee to where we are today.

I suggested a ways back that Trump no longer needed MAGA; here’s the complimentary argument that MAGA no longer needs Trump!

@housedemocrats.bsky.social Shame on all of you. You have no foresight and no backbone.

Does Trump really need MAGA anymore?

When you’ve lost Hester Peirce!

Marc Andreessen Is a Traitor It is the tech oligarchs, not young radicals, who have turned against the system that made them.

“They have betrayed the society that enriched them, and have put us at serious risk of authoritarianism, ethnic cleansing, lawlessness, and stagnation. They have betrayed the values that made that society great, values which they apparently only ever held superficially”

TLDR: No.

One tiny aspect of this: The ABA is currently considering major changes to the accreditation standards that would expand the cost of legal education. Presumably harder to try to do that after the loan limits are in place?

There is a limit to the “practicality” of law school but ABA doesn’t seem to get that.

The Chan-Zuckerbergs stopped funding social causes. 400 kids lost their school. Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg’s retreat from funding social issues forced the closure of a school Chan opened for disadvantaged families in Silicon Valley.

Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.

The horror!

Kinda wonder if @msnbc.com regrets platforming this fanatic hardliner for so long.

Big fan, love the transactional details-even when wrong, at least they tried!

Now do MLK.

Didn’t you move to a country that recognizes a king?

I’m kind of in the same situation. I do think law suffers as a field generally because it does not genuinely institute peer review.

I’ve “refereed” for them - and it was confidential - but it was very different experience from genuinely peer review. Ofc non student edited outlets like JLEO and JLE are actually blind.

Are there any law journals that are really blind?

Funny, if these workers are “illegal” why isn’t Trump arresting the employers who hired them?

Yes.
