New from me at @motherjones.com: Today, @ericswalwell.bsky.social said he's working to help the family of a Deaf kid seek humanitarian parole so he can continue attending CA School for the Deaf–and his staff brought his hearing aids to Colombia for him to use. www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...

“Think about that for a moment: a six-year-old child with a disability suddenly in a different country, separated from the country he has come to know, now surrounded by silence. The horror stories from this White House continue from ICE.”

Watch Thomas Healy discuss his career at the intersection of journalism, law and academia, and how he engages students in exploring what the law is for—and whom it should serve. #law #Setonhalllaw #justice #SoulCity #TheGreatDissent law.shu.edu/news/thomas-...

MeToo pushed a few big-name bad actors out of their positions, but it did very little to grapple with the systems and the cultures and the people that empowered those bad actors and allowed them to operate with impunity.

Great new article on our report on barriers to access in Social Security disability programs. Read all the way to the end. The closing quote from @ksavin.bsky.social is a banger.

An important piece showing that losses in court haven’t stopped Trump from seizing Congress’s spending power and targeting dissenters and “blue states.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

In this new report, @ksavin.bsky.social, and @calliefreitag.bsky.social and I explain how Trump 2.0 and DOGE built up new barriers to the already-difficult process of getting disability benefits. Let's talk about what we found, and what we recommend to address the issues. 🧵

In a Law.com story on NJ’s fat discrimination bill, I noted: when RFK Jr. says weight loss “the right way” excludes medication, it creates hierarchy of deservingness.

Seton Hall Law Professor Doron Dorfman @dorfmandoron.bsky.social says that overweight people have long lacked legal protection because weight is seen as a moral failing — a bias growing with the rise of effective weight-loss drugs. #SetonHallLaw #Employment #HealthLaw www.law.com/2026/03/02/t...

Happy to share that my latest project, Copyright as Intuition, is forthcoming in the Minnesota Law Review. Abstract below; I should have a draft on SSRN soon.

This is what I love about the job—putting dollars to work for families and getting them the services they need most. I was happy to bring Seton Hall Law School $627,000 in Community Project Funding to expand the Family Law Clinic Survivor Support Program.

Grateful to @replamonica.bsky.social for securing federal funding to strengthen Seton Hall Law’s work preventing domestic and sexual violence and supporting survivors.

Citation isn’t neutral. It shapes who is recognized, funded, and remembered. When marginalized scholars are not cited, it redistributes power and produces epistemic injustice. Learn more in this thread. Cite disabled people of color directly, intentionally, consistently. [1/10]

If veterans groups showed more solidarity in reforming SSI/SSDI process to be less cruel, I think in return there would be more backlash from non-veteran disabled folks regarding this. www.military.com/benefits/vet...

As an Army veteran & lawyer that has represented vets on service-connected claims & appeals pro bono, this is a critically important point. I have a draft paper w/ @dorfmandoron.bsky.social re: Veteran Disability Hierarchies that engages w/these issues here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Thrilled that my article with William ("Chip") Carter, An Originalist Critique of Fetal Personhood, is now forthcoming in the Pennsylvania Law Review!!! It was weirdly fun to spend months buried in 19th century dictionaries & Locke's writings. We are still editing but hope to have it online soon!

Literally just discussed with my Healthcare Law Finance & Access students how the ACA marketplace’s simple metal tiers make qualified health plans easier to compare and promote access. And now the administration wants to revise it. Surprised? Not really. www.statnews.com/2026/02/11/2...

Yesterday’s launch party of @lauramauldin.bsky.social’s important new book on spousal caregiving at @strandbooks.com was fantastic! At the intersection of disability+care policy.

My latest, "Free Exercise and the Redistribution of Liberty," is now posted (and forthcoming in @yalelawjournal.bsky.social). It argues that free exercise doctrine uses selective market logic to redistribute both public resources and liberty itself. Comments welcome: papers.ssrn.com/abstract=618...

Proud to join with colleagues and all of you to denounce civil rights violations and defend our Constitution and democracy. We all must educate ourselves and use our voices. Engage and shine a light! We are better and must do better.

Very proud of my Seton Hall Law colleagues for putting out this statement condemning the civil rights violations in Minneapolis and across the country. www.nj.com/news/2026/02...

Covering Premium Assistance Tax Credits under the ACA in my Healthcare Law: Access & Finance course today. King v. Burwell is great but it’s depressing to talk about how the OBBB curtails subsidy expansion… This NYT article is super helpful in explaining the results www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

I'm pleased to share that Prisoners after War: Veterans in the Age of Mass Incarceration is a finalist for the Veterans Studies Association 2026 Book Award. As a civilian, I have always been a guest in veterans’ spaces, so I'm deeply honored to be recognized in this field.

Go go @katmacfarlane.bsky.social! 🙌

Last month, Secretary Kennedy had a press conference where he claimed that the original intent of the ADA was to exclude trans people. So I asked a bunch of experts and someone who was actually there.
