"In at least 4,421 cases, more than 400 federal judges ruled since the beginning of October that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is holding people illegally as it carries out its mass-deportation campaign." www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The dictator who destroyed Romania's legal system faced a 55-minute show trial before his execution. Even his own lawyer joined the prosecution. When you kill the rule of law, there's nothing left to protect you. @irinamanta.bsky.social

Superb, informative, important piece that can help us identify effective means of resistance to peacefully topple our dictator-in-chief:

My debut with @theunpopulist.net - thanks to @shikhadalmia.bsky.social and @bernybelvedere.bsky.social, as well as @berinszoka.bsky.social!

Sooo much health freedom! www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Glad to be among the signatories of a letter of legal academics, law students, and organizations demanding accountability for federal officers. federalaccountabilitynow.org

A case to follow if you haven’t been. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

My article “Tinder Backgrounds” (forthcoming in the Georgia Law Review) is quoted/cited in a letter that @hassan.senate.gov and Sen Blackburn wrote to Match Group about their safety practices back in September. I wonder if they ever got a response. 🤔 www.jec.senate.gov/public/_cach...

I’m quoted, along with other scholars, in this recent Newsweek piece regarding denaturalization. www.newsweek.com/can-trump-re...

It was great speaking on @npr.org today about denaturalization. I start around 16:30. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o... Also available here (12/10 episode): www.npr.org/podcasts/510...

When I post about RFK Jr. undermining vaccines, I’m noticing more and more comments saying things like “I am glad my state is part of a coalition that is not listening to him”. That’s great, but I ask you to bear in mind the following: 1. Pathogens don’t care about lines on a map

Tune in today (Wed) if you want to hear me talk about denaturalization on NPR 10-11am EST. I will likely begin speaking around 10:20am, but these things are always in flux. www.npr.org/podcasts/510...

My denaturalization research was mentioned in this @axios.com piece earlier this month. www.axios.com/2025/12/01/t...

What foods should you eat during flu season? OMG! Get your flu vaccine, wear a N95 in high risk situations and clean your air because food doesn’t protect you against a virus. #🦠

Absolutely loved the chance to speak with @kfoslundquist.bsky.social about her recently-published book “Beard: A Memoir of a Marriage.” This latest podcast episode is available here, or by looking up “Strangers on the Internet” on any major platform: shows.acast.com/strangers-on...

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

Property profs, rejoice!

This @politifact.bsky.social piece quotes @andrarobertson.bsky.social and me. www.politifact.com/article/2025...

For years now, I've said our official health policy would eventually look like "The Secret," a book that literally advises everyone to wish away illness and abandon their friends who "don't want to get better." We're pretty much there.

The Big Cities Health Coalition, which serves over 60 million or 1 in 5 people in the US, has issued a statement condemning the federal government's moves to limit vaccine access and spread disinformation. The cities are working together to ensure people get vaccinated.

“There's nothing inherently wrong with aspiring to be a wife or a stay at home mom . . . . But what's alarming is the desire to cede power to men, returning to a lifestyle in which women were historically subjugated and repressed.” www.teenvogue.com/story/love-i...

Honestly, the "everyone is 12" theory is probably overshooting the age estimate by 3 or 4 years.

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

Imagine thinking domestic violence isn’t “really serious”

I'm happy so many young people / law school applicants seem to care about the rule of law! We need you in the profession.

i love to imagine this logic applied to other mitigation tools—trembling at a seatbelt, cowering from a helmet, freezing at the sight of a condom—easy to reveal how laughable a take the idea of masking as an act of fear is.

The Guardian piece over the weekend about AI use in online dating inspired me to write another blog post on the subject.

The latest podcast episode I did for “Strangers on the Internet” is with employment law attorney Laura Koistinen, whose firm has taken on Harvey Weinstein, Andrew Cuomo, and FoxNews. Check it out! shows.acast.com/strangers-on...

Red states sending troops to blue states is a really bad idea.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

If anyone can give farmers access to international markets its the guy who closed off access to international markets

The "compact" is a threat, with the administration explicitly stating that it plans to disfavor universities that don't sign in areas from foreign student visas, student loans, federal contracts as well as grants, and even tax [501(c)(3)] status. It's a maximalist plan of 1st Amendment violation.

It seems pointless even to say this, but the Fourth Amendment does not permit federal agents to kick down every door in an apartment building just because *some* people in that building are allegedly undocumented. Even in the unlikely event they had a warrant, warrants have to be specific.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

🚨 New Case Alert 🚨 Leo Garcia Venegas is an American citizen and construction worker in south Alabama. Even though he has done nothing suspicious and is working on private property, Leo has been repeatedly detained (once violently) by federal officers enforcing immigration laws. 🧵

I am proud to be a signatory to this letter. The FCC has no business policing viewpoint.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

crazy, how could he get an idea like that www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

President Trump's executive order that aims to decimate the 14th Amendment is blatantly illegal. We will continue fighting to protect the right to birthright citizenship.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

The symposium piece I coauthored with @andrarobertson.bsky.social and @zoerobinson.bsky.social is now out in print. Proud of our work tracing unscientific public health policy, which unfortunately far predates RFK, Jr. and his ilk even though they have taken it to new levels. Check it out!
