Did any of the folks who like the US open and are shocked by Chrissie Everetโ€™s commentary on Coco and Naomi (hard to put a finger on what connects them) migrate to BS?

Just lol to the worst people on earth using the most abusive power against each other and any pearl clutching. L Law enforcement is randomly deployed against people โ€” poor people and people of color daily forever.

It told me it was a concern but that I shouldnโ€™t be paranoid (Iโ€™m paraphrasing but it did use the word paranoid).

But it by no means follows that we should fold things up. Most law in the U.S. does not involve the Supreme Court, and every Supreme Court decision, every one, has wiggle room that antifascists should be as willing to find as fascists. So take it.

Garland v. Texas Top Cop Shop

Near the end of the Biden years, Elizabeth Prelogar asked the Supreme Court to rein in nationwide injunctions in a low-stakes case where a Republican judge/Fifth Circuit blocked an act of Congress from applying to anyone anywhere.

They declined and took up Trumpโ€™s patently illegal order instead.

The examples in this oped are so stark. Obama and Bidenโ€” help kids and educate. Trump โ€” van and terrorize. Anyway, hope dems are drafting so many laws right now.

I'm excited to share my article, The Immigration Subpoena Power, which explores the way that ICE uses administrative subpoenas for civil immigration enforcement and the concerns that these practices raise. Many thanks to those who helped improve it (1/2)

How you can help the incarcerated firefighters battling L.A. wildfires The Los Angeles-based Anti-Recidivism Coalition, a nonprofit dedicated to ending mass incarceration, started a fundraiser on Friday to support the fire crews of Californiaโ€™s prisons.

I had a lot of people asking me so I wrote an explainer: Here's how you can help the incarcerated firefighter battling the blazes in Southern California this week:

One of the articles I'm most proud of is now out in the world as the lead article in the latest volume of the Minnesota Law Review thanks to its wonderful editors.

Co-authoring it w/ Rell Carter fundamentally altered how I think about the production of knowledge.

Research stab in the dark. Other than sexual offenses, does anyone know of proposals to extend or abolish criminal SOL for any crimes? Can be proposed by anyone, doesn't have to be a bill, advocates, activists, whoever.
