Are you a @ugaschooloflaw.bsky.social student interested in working with me to research #trade, the #USMCA, and #laborrights for the U.S. International Trade Commission? 👇👇👇

Call me dense, but I suspect one of us has more power over this than the other.

My son needs community-based care to have a full quality of life. Medicaid delivered that vital care until 2 weeks ago when he was abruptly kicked off. Republicans want to slash this care for Trump's Iran war. Who else has to lose everything before they stop? #HealthcareNotWarfare

Trump’s new budget adds an extra $500 billion to fund wars abroad — about $3,700 more for every household in America — while cutting health, jobs, housing, and education. Put simply, it takes more of your money for foreign wars, while making life in America even more unaffordable.

Int'l lawyers often discuss how states generate new procedures/norms w/ the assumption that this marks progress. The Trump administration (through tariff threats) is socializing US forced labor bans. Below, I've written why I think this marks a setback in int'l law.

Unpopular opinion? The recent move on social media to use AI to write everyone's chats really sucks. I don't want to read a robot when I'm peer reviewing articles, and I don't want to read a robot on here or LinkedIn.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

@ugaschooloflaw.bsky.social Professor @desireelc.bsky.social's research on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) was highlighted in the @financialtimes.com Trade Secrets newsletter, written by Alan Beattie and published 15 December 2025. (1/2)

Schools in Saint Paul were closed Tuesday and Wednesday as teachers prepared to do online and in-person teaching simultaneously due to safety concerns about ICE. Kids in my daughter’s school refer to those two days off as Evil Break. As in, “So what did you do over Evil Break?”

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Grateful to the University of Georgia @ugaschooloflaw.bsky.social for this awesome opportunity to continue researching the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement's Rapid Response Mechanism with an A-list of scholars, including a Guggenheim recipient and amazing award-winning researchers. Stay tuned!
