Excellent episode. #Law & #PoliticalEconomy (LPE) is confusing. Every attempt to make it clear is worthwhile. #econ systems are #political choices. LPE asks how law bolsters some political choices over others, especially when choices lead to suffering. tinyurl.com/felicitypaper @lpeblog.bsky.social

Leaders in Indiana speaking #truth to #power. #Indiana, goddam. @kazembe1.bsky.social said, "They tell us that we don't have history and then we run around trying to prove we have history." Reminds me of Toni Morrison's wisdom: racism is a distraction. To the young people: build worlds. We got this.

Newsprint branded "The Felicity Papers" issue No. 2. To those most impacted by "anti-DEI" laws around the country: you are brilliant. You are worthy. What would you do if money or bias were not hurdles? How would you chase your dreams if you were not presumed incompetent. Keep your dreams in sight while we keep up the fight.

My latest piece about #Mississippi #DEI #RevisionistHistory. But the message is for those around the country. This is more than historical accuracy. This is about #erasure. This is about #caste. This is about our #potential. This is about our #lives. thefelicitypapers.substack.com/p/felicity-p...

Crucial thing you must do right now is strengthen and expand your community. Serve together. Try a new activity. See each other in person. Over on the other site I am continually struck by how the rabid intensity does not actually reflect community or connection. Only way we get through this.

Venezuelan Migrant Sent to GuantΓ‘namo Bay Is β€˜Not a Criminal,’ Family Pleads (Gift Article) Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the United States so that he could β€œgive everything to his son,” said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to GuantΓ‘namo.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

The President and the Police | Joanna Schwartz | INQUEST A second Trump presidency may render police accountability elusive. But, as before, people and communities can and will fight back.

Thanks @academemagazine.bsky.social for publishing. As an untenured #law prof, I am vulnerable in this #political #climate. But if I wait another year for #tenure, I may not have another chance. Readers may not either. Thanks @americanbar.org speaking up on Mon. academeblog.org/2025/02/03/o...
