When's the last you've been to a nursing home? Next time you go, take a look at the people who are doing the hard work of taking care of our elderly. My mom & cousin were CNAs & my grandma was the housekeeper at the same nursing home. It was immigrants & refugees from LatAm and the Philippines.

🚨 New research: FIRST EVER county-level study of racial disparities at the arrest-to-court transition in CA. In county after county, arrests of Black & Hispanic individuals reach court at far lower rates than those of white ones. People burdened with records for cases never worth filing. #LawSky

I didn't even realize the Super Bowl was today until I just came on here right now. So I'll leave y'all to it. Goodnight!

WOW

Okay, friends, who's got restaurant recommendations for Marfa and El Paso?

How can you profess to care about style while being willing to be photographed in that outfit? @brianlfrye.bsky.social, look at this garbage.

Brian keeps trying to convince me that Heatmiser was good, but they just weren’t.

oooh we are posting super bowls? As a specialist in Islamic ceramics *cracks knuckles* I present this fabulous 11th c. lustre painted bowl from Fatimid Cairo depicting a Coptic priest. Its white glaze imitates Chinese porcelain and the lustre technique was invented in Iraq a century earlier.

So I heard we’re posting super bowls. Here’s a Fatimid lusterware bunny. Islamic lusterwares originate in Iraq to emulate the sheen of Chinese porcelain, but the combo with highly animated-looking Fatimid animal motifs is my favorite. He even has a little snack. www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

A whole week before getting rejected by Michigan. A new record for me…it’s usually just a few days! 😂

It doesn’t take much in the way of specialized training to say yes, this is messed up for obvious reasons.

As an expert in prosecutorial ethics, it used to be really interesting getting to debate what exactly doing "justice" meant with my fellow expert. This landscape has been made more boring and bonkers at once with the DOJ just flatly saying you must support Trump. 1/2 www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

Muting "Muppets"

People see Latinos and they assume "immigrant." I'll never forget doing a screening interview for a junior lateral position at SEALS and someone the hiring school's committee asking me if I wrote about crimmigration. "No," I responded. "I write about rural criminal justice." They were shocked.

Grateful to get out of town soon. Being in the same place for a month starts to feel painful. I hate it.

Excited to be headed to Marfa in a week! 🥰

How romantic, buying the one you love a gift from the Wirecutter list! 💘https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/money/valentines-day-deals-20260203/

So, I own this Roland Mouret dress, but in an icy blue color. Is it too dated now to wear out, you think? The cold shoulders are very intentional and precise looking, but maybe that still dates the dress too much.

I don't know man, it's not that hard to not fuck kids dude.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Is bulk impeachment a thing

And we need to stop calling those things "love." Wuthering Heights is what abusive relationships and their resultant restraining orders are made of.

No; it’s about obsession, control, and revenge.

One of my most woke opinions: France needs to pay back all the money they made Haiti pay for their independence (with interest).

But… but is there *ANY* way this could be a woman’s fault…?

It is just me or has the cycle been like…

The American figure skater's unapologetic queerness feels more important than ever.

School parking garage on fire

Gonna steal the phrase “when the framers walked the earth” from @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Found an old Italian charm bracelet my ex-FIL gave to me and good lord, who invented these things? They're just good for ripping out your arm hair.

I wanna personally congratulate Hunter Biden for not only being nowhere near the Epstein files but for having rock-solid reviews from sex workers for respectfulness and tipping

I know people the memory of goldfish but ICE is still very much active here in Los Angeles, LAPD helps them most of the time, and people are still resisting. Local media is still covering it so follow @lataco.bsky.social

OMG look at this Haywood Wakefield headboard Brian found is for…$200!!! With built-in end tables! 😍

Schascheck on Heller’s Second Amendment Exception and Bruen Kevin Schascheck II (Independent; Tulane University School of Law) has posted Second Amendment Exceptions on SSRN. Here is the abstract: The Second Amendment guarantees the individual right to keep and bear firearms. But that right has…

My first rejection—woohoo!

I think my mom had a blouse like this in the 80s. My entirely thrifted outfit: blouse is Marina Rinaldi, skirt is St. John, loafers are very 80s Gucci (with a whole lot of disinfection, of course).

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

Did you know that, in some countries, opposition parties actually oppose things? I know, I was surprised to learn it too!

Yup; even when those young women might be their own colleagues

Stop threatening me with a good time.

They redacted MALE names!

And this is why victims don’t come forward. How much risk must we bear just for everyone else to watch and do nothing?

It might feel overwhelming…where do we start fixing things? Well, I argue in Gossip that law profs need to start looking at their own institutions. We need to figure out how to fix our own house. This is a place where we can start that would be more than manageable. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

YUUUUP

I want to emphasize how radically Trump's second-term judical appointments are going to change the American legal system. These are not the standard Ivy League FedSoc guys. They are election-denying freaks who earned Trump's favor because they are willing to say what he wants to hear.

Guy literally came out and said "yes, all men."
