The UK's "free AI training for all" program may offer free courses, but there is a cost to society for the government's approach. Elinor Carmi, Tania Duarte, Mark Wong, Susan Oman & Tim Davies argue it deepens Big Tech dependency while sidelining critical AI literacy and community organizations.

New hope for academics everywhere!

My former colleague @raskin.house.gov to AG Pam Bondi: “You’ve turned the people’s Department of Justice into Trump’s instrument of revenge. Trump orders up prosecutions like pizza and you deliver every time.”

Did Bad Bunny just give the American Society of International Law its theme for the year? The breadth of the “Americas” Not sure an academic conference can bring joy. But I'd like to think it could.

Countries launching investigations linked to the Epstein files: France Turkey United Kingdom Poland Lithuania Norway Latvia Australia North Macedonia Sweden Millions of US tax dollars spent redacting our President's name & him telling us to move on. THANK YOU to the world for NOT accepting this.

It's true that Mamdani is a skilled improviser but that's counterintuitively a result of his superior preparation — spending time and energy to hone your speaking style, memorize talking points etc frees up cognitive load to notice and react to what's around you instead of thinking about what to say

Perhaps his greatest insight, and yet the one he effectively managed to muddle within his theory of law

This is the direct result of a judicial order. Law isn’t magic but it can be powerful stuff.

Brett Kavanaugh is going to have Kavanaugh stops in his obituary. It's going to be his most significant legacy. Well earned.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

London has landed in the top ten greenest cities on the planet 🌱 Not bad for a city that never sits still. We’re delivering cleaner transport and more green spaces, with even more to come.

It’s an affront to the idea of a written constitution that this case will reach oral argument.

On a night of life-threatening cold, a homeless person entered a Lansing bus station seeking refuge from the freezing temperatures. Video shows police slamming them to the ground and pinning them with knees on their neck as they plead, "I'm here because it's cold outside, and I have nowhere to go."

Big day in Constitutional Law: Korematsu, Brown, and Loving

In today's @nytimes.com, @barryfriedman1.bsky.social and I argue that, with no *other* means of pursuing accountability for lawlessness by ICE, local/state prosecutions become not just legally viable, but necessary—both to punish past abuses and to deter future ones: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/o...

ICE shot a mother in the face. ICE kidnapped a 5 year-old boy. ICE executed a man on the street. It’s time to tear down this secret police force.

Minneapolis shooting latest: Alex Pretti, 37-year-old ICU nurse, named as victim

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

NEW: The ICE killing of Alex Pretti, the second in Minneapolis, prompts quick legal action. After ICE agents killed Alex Pretti on Saturday, lawyers responded quickly — leading to one TRO issued before the night's end aimed at preserving evidence of the killing. My report at Law Dork:
