Pew Research looks the same:

An update from Chicago's local CBS station: SNIPERS! ICE has snipers targeting protestors. WHAT THE HELL? bsky.app/profile/cweb...

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON This is in suburban Chicago. That woman is a congressional candidate. @katmabu.bsky.social And those weapons? COME ON. WHAT THE F*CK

Both the best & the funniest thing the Nobel Peace Prize committee could do is give the award to Stephen Colbert & Jimmy Kimmel as defenders of free speech under attack. It *should* go to Gazan journalists, or perhaps soemone from the UAE doing negotiations, but also: Colbert & Kimmel, please.

Fascists are never satisfied by just a little taste of fascism

New PEN America statement: “The firing and suspension of multiple journalists after the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk should alarm anyone who cares about free speech and a free press. Taken together, these measures risk creating a chilling effect that extends beyond those directly targeted..."

We are no longer in the era of First Amendment Lochner-ism. We are in the era of First Amendment Coronado-ism -- where we see the hyperexpansive First Amendment protections that allegedly defined an era come to a screeching halt the minute they stand in the way of conservative policy priorities.

A threat to authoritarianism anywhere is a threat to authoritarianism everywhere

Then it gives the authors of said paper more space & airtime to continue to defend their problematic position & allowed the rehashing of problematic & unethical arguments in the face of an ongoing genocide. This is as a colleague & friend observes is an eg of epistemic injustice. Shame on LJIL 3/3

This is a truly terrible response to an already flawed paper & even more flawed editorial process, a microcosm of what is problematic about western academia. The reliance on fomalities is an exercise in what Tania Li termed 'rendering technical', the technocratic depoliticisation of events 1/3

"Hey, we realize we fucked up. We want to make it better so we're going to givethe autbors an additional 9 pages to reflect on the criticisms, and then we'll publish *one* article criticising the piece. That sounds like an amazing & valid plan, no?" x.com/LJIL_Leiden/...

Wait until the GOP realizes how our deployed military vote... man, are they in for a surprise about mail-in ballots!

Since we're no longer deferring to agency expertise, is someone taking a case challenging to Covid vaccine limitations?

T swift just announced her engagement and I have to adult. Life is unfair.

One of the ongoing impacts of Covid is that the generation of students I'm teaching are still afraid of failure & mistakes in a way I wasn't & don't think my peers were. Next week, I'd like to share advice on making mistakes & stories of people learning from mistakes or failure and moving forward.

This is exactly--and I mean exactly--how Holocaust deniers have long discredited the Final Solution being a concerted effort & high-level order. "The Jews in the camps all died of typhoid outbreaks"

Micah 6:8 says nothing about "standing on the side of Israel." It does tell us to do justice & walk *humbly* w/ God. Worst thing a Christian (or anyone) can do is convince themselves that what *they want* is what God wants. Don't blame him for your choices. www.middleeasteye.net/news/icj-vic...

Am I the only one who assumes "Ruin the Friendship" is *not* about Blake Lively? 1) TS tends not to make song titles so explicitly about real people (Smallest Man notwithstanding), 2) She's changed lyrics to protect another woman & has lyrics about not pitting successful women against each other.

This is excellent, high-level stuff, bringing expert analysis (and a bit of academic infighting) to a general audience. Check out MEE's Expert Witness series on YouTube if you haven't already.

Guy at the coffre shop has been a practicing lawyer for 15 years. Saw my textbooks and asked "are you in law school?" I told him I teach at St Mary's law school. He looked so shocked & all I can say is: thank you L'Oreal for covering my gray hairs so well!

After yesterday, I can never settle for someone who loves me less than Travis & Taylor love each other. @newheightsofficial.bsky.social

Remember that these are individuals who have legal permission to live and work here. The goal from Stephen Miller—who is the one actually running DHS while Trump golfs and plans golden ballrooms—is to make as many immigrants as possible deportable, even those with current legal status 👇🏽

I've suffered more culture shock from listservs of American law professors than from open-carry gun owners. Someone offer me hope?

Okay my little #ProcedureGoblin babes let's get on it, ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Obligations of Climate Change thread starts here! 🧵

the thing about @schumer.senate.gov moving the goalposts about how much defiance of the courts is enough for him to care is that each time we get to ask things like: is the DOJ not “tolerating” judges enough for you, Chuck?

District court judges voted today against keeping Alina Habba in her role as interim US attorney. Instead of abiding by that, AG Pan Bondi announces she's firing the woman who would've replaced her. A Watergate-style attack on the rule of law.

This. Fucking fight back.

The cognitive dissonance would be hilarious if it wasn't so dangerous. Does Trump not remember that we've heard the audio of the call he made to the Georgian Attorney General asking him to commit election fraud? abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

If the Nobel Committee really wanted to maka a statement, they could give Stephen Colbert the Peace Prize for his commitment to democracy and free soeech principles in a shallowing democracy. (And then watch Trump *really* lose his s***.....)

What Americans accept as "feta cheese" and kalamata olives makes me sad...

I knew I'd struggle with culture shock. Gotta admit that I did not expect the U.S. international legal community to be the impetus for the first real round....

Hey @nbcnews.com, the settlements aren't just "widely considered illegal by the International community." They have been deemed illegal by the International Court of Justice. Language matters. Do better. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I just learned a U.S. law professor I've never met called me "unfuckwithable" on the basis of something I wrote & I think this is the coolest compliment ever.

The Handbasket has not been contacted by the FBI.

I learned today that perimenopause reduces a woman's tolerance for bullshit, and they're ability to not openly call it bullshit. I feel like my life finally makes sense.

Kudos to the @frontierairlines.bsky.social flight attendants on my flight into ATL who made *certain* that the 7 of us with short connections actually got off the plane first. This wasn't a "please be mindful" plea to passengers. This was a "you're not on those flights, so step aside" requirement.

BREAKING: Federal judge denies DOJ's request to allow the State Department to enforce Sec. Rubio's anti-trans/anti-nonbinary passport policy. Judge Kobick previously granted classwide relief blocking the policy. After Skrmetti, DOJ argued that should change the outcome. Kobick said no.
