Big announcement about the "civil discourse" program here at #UNC - corrected for accuracy. #academicsky #academia

Interesting, Claude! OTOH, a team in Berlin also built a place to kill my grandmother. #TrustTheProcess #TechInnovation #AIpocalypse

I hope the #Canvas hackers snagged my exam question about a Canvas #hack and are now trapped in a recursive spiral. #CanvasHack

Interested in how an influential amicus curiae brief comes together? Joining me in this webinar are Rachel Grossman and John Nakahata from the firm that represented me & Larry Oda, whose personal story of birthright citizenship the brief narrates. apiavote.org/birthright-w... #lawsky #academicsky

Former #UNC provost secretly settles lawsuit against university alleging illegal secrecy. #academicsky

Enjoyable to watch? Absolutely! Courageous? For sure! Unprecedented? Hardly! The stuff of "awe?" Depends on your perspective. Awe was what I felt watching this as a kid. What I felt this time was "nostalgia," or maybe "deja vu."

You all know he'll claim A DEAL just before the civilization-obliteration deadline, right? Regardless of whether there's actually a deal? Right?

Dear Chief Justice Roberts, is threatening the death of a civilization within the scope of the President's Article II absolute immunity? Or just his presumptive immunity? Asking for a nation. #lawsky

My university is too scared of its shadow to publicize the impact of my amicus brief in the birthright citizenship case, so I am grateful to my former dean Gene Nichol for this shout-out. #lawsky #academicsky www.newsobserver.com/opinion/arti...

This administration's stupidity is unbounded. We circled the moon in 1968, seven months *before* landing on it.

Like most everyone else, I see the government losing in today's #birthright #citizenship case. And it's braggy to note this, but this is such a rare thing that I'm going to do it anyway: My amicus curiae brief got *two* call-outs in the courtroom this morning. Kind of a dream come true.

Justice Alito should bring this sensibility to his effective assistance of counsel jurisprudence!

I'm stunned. Rachel Maddow spent a full 3 minutes tonight detailing the arguments I make in my amicus curiae brief in the birthright citizenship case. Here's hoping Sam Alito and Neil Gorsuch are regular Maddow Show watchers! 😉 www.youtube.com/live/e5u_Dmb...

In my amicus curiae brief in the birthright citizenship case, I show that the U.S. recognized as citizens children born to (1) Japanese enemy aliens, (2) US citizenship renunciants, and even (3) people dragged to the US from Peru and held for deportation. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

You cannot make this shit up — UNC is hosting an “AI for the Public Good” conference. Tickets for this event, conceived of and held at a publicly funded university, are $250. 🙃

What an odd take. I've been on college campuses since 1994. There have been countless events worthy of big protests over that time -- and almost no sizable protests. The question is the opposite of the one this piece asks: why has there been only one seize-the-campus-style protest in decades?

Pssst, hey, you, thinking about #lawschool? Let me fill you in on something. The so-called "socratic method" in most of your classes will really just be a reading quiz. With your reading assignment open in front of you.

I can say only that the right place for this obscenity of a planning session was a space called the Indian Treaty Room. #skystorians

1925 called and they want their antisemitic stabbed-in-the -back myth back.

Check out the twink in this weird new #DHS Bobby Kennedy #MAHA video. (There's also a person dressed as a dessert pastry.)

Until this, my 64th turn around the sun, I'd had one encounter w/ out-loud antisemitism. In a store, a salesman accused a guy of trying to "Jew" him on a price. In the last 6 weeks I've had three. All conventional anti-Jewish things. None of them about Israel, Gaza, etc. Something has shifted.

This is a peak UNC Chapel Hill story. They've put a popular undergrad tour guide on probation after an undercover UNC employee went on her tour and disapproved of a few things she said. It's astonishing how fragile this university often is. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThTSf6dk/ #academicsky

Two critical reviews have appeared of the @maddow.bsky.social podcast "Burn Order" on Japanese American incarceration -- mine and Scott Kurashige's. densho.org/catalyst/mul... substack.com/home/post/p-... Will @maddowblog.bsky.social be acknowledging and responding to the critiques? #skystorians

SCOOP: Federal judiciary approves new Supreme Court defender office to help represent indigent defendants at #SCOTUS. Its full-time director will serve as a counterweight to the U.S. solicitor general in federal criminal cases. The first will be former Kagan clerk and SG atty Ashley Robertson.

Consider.

I'm thrilled this morning to see my amicus curiae brief about birthright citizenship as one of just 2 (out of 43 filed!) singled out by @stevevladeck.bsky.social in his newsletter "One First." The brief is here: tinyurl.com/3hy76638 Please help spread the word! #lawsky

Yesterday I filed an #AmicusCuriae brief at #SCOTUS in the birthright citizenship case. It presents stories of 3 families of Japanese ancestry--w/o legal allegiance to the USA--to show citizenship derives from birth on US soil, not parental loyalties. #lawsky #skystorians tinyurl.com/3hy76638

Allusive historical essays are the bracing tonic our crisis demands.

People need to ask the creators of the film SAPIRO V FORD why they're presenting the work as their own without crediting (or even mentioning!) the book on which the film is based by legal historian Victoria Woeste. Kinda scandalous. @victoriawoeste.bsky.social #academicsky #lawsky #skystorians

It's International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Of all the photos from this era I've seen - and I've seen a lot - this one is the most arresting. March 1944, deportation of the Jews of Ioannina, Greece. A young woman sees a loved one taken away. #Holocaust #skystorians

I can't think of a worse title for a documentary about Elie Wiesel. #documentary #movies #holocaust
