At long last, my article, "Gaming Money," is out in the Columbia Law Review. Thanks so much to the many, many folks who helped along the way!! @columlrev.bsky.social columbialawreview.org/content/gami...

Anyone have a handy list of 2026 FAR Form categories (outside of the portal)?

What is LPE? Is it a reaction to law and economics? Does it have a method? What is its normative north star? Amy Kapczynski, Corinne Blalock, Aslı Bâli, Sabeel Rahman, Angela Harris, and Yochai Benkler offer their best answers to these questions in two sentences or less.

what a *great* time to open up 401(k)s to "private" financial assets! at my talk against this yesterday at an industry event, many ppl came up to us after & whispered sotto voce "I agree with you" even got one business card w/ "thank u for speaking truth to power" on the back 🤣

I just can’t believe Hartenstein pulled Castle’s hair. No foul called.

the final deadline to vote for me for the MA public pension board is coming up Friday! any MA state employee who is in the pension system can get their election code & pin by emailing [email protected] & vote online also ⬇️☺️

If you're in Mass state govt, you have until Fri. @ 11:59 PM to vote for Lenore for the Pension Reserves Investment Management Board! Lenore is a 3rd-generation union member, attorney, AND professor of econ & public policy who is an EXPERT on PENSION FUNDS! Doesn't get any better. PRIMvotes.com

Today, @ntinatzouvala.bsky.social and @azohra.bsky.social kick off a series on international law under the second Trump administration. The embrace of naked coercion, they argue, represents both a genuine departure from, and the culmination of the internal contradictions of, the post-WWII order.

I'm writing something about public pension funds & data centers & risk -- this total mess strengthens my goal to get elected to the MA PRIM Board! have a friend who works for MA state government? Pls send them to my website so that they can vote before May 22nd!! lenorepalladino.me

ICE agents are walking around with a list of 20 million people to detain in their pockets because of this Palantir database: www.404media.co/ice-agents-h...

"According to local news outlet El Paso Matters, the three-gigawatt data center complex “would consume more electricity than all of El Paso Electric’s 460,000 customers combined." data centers will become defined as national security infrastructure borderlands the first to pay the price as always

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

Congrats to Bench Ansfield 🎉! If you want to see what all the buzz is about, check out their interview with Andrew Anatasi on how arson became profitable for landlords, how residents organized to stop it, and what this tells us about the ongoing interplay between property and racial capitalism.

it is not judicial activism when it is going after what scalia called a “racial entitlement.” you know, voting rights.

Everybody, absolutely everybody, saw Callais coming. It’s the logical outgrowth of a successful effort to gut the Voting Rights Act that spans decades, predicated upon a myopic understanding of racial discrimination and an antebellum conception of federalism. That doesn’t make this any easier.

Today, @azohra.bsky.social explains how the recent conviction of Anti-ICE protestors represents a dangerous and increasingly common form of guilt by association that is antithetical to collective political action.

it feels like it's mid-feb 2020 w/r/t the energy crisis in the U.S. we're watching what's happening with dread but also a sense of unreality.. ..with absolutely no idea about how hard we're about to get hit

At @ainowinstitute.bsky.social, Katie J. Wells, Maya Pinto, and Funda Ustek Spilda released a new report on how gig nursing platforms are lobbying states to deregulate healthcare.

Earlier this week, the University of Chicago announced a new minor in Law and Political Economy. Yes, really. And, yes, the good kind of political economy!

Are you a student interested in LPE? This your chance to join the movement: the Association of Law and Political Economy is now open to student members. Students will elect their own representative to the Board in the upcoming election, so please help spread the word.

nothing matters anymore but just to be clear: if the company is leaking these excerpts, it's really violating the securities laws, if that's still a thing anymore

Today, a spring scouting report on some of the hottest new LPE and LPE-adjacent articles. Congrats to all the authors on such wonderful placements 🎉

sigh, wrote about this w/ rhiana gunn-wright in 2021 but the care-sector unions, NDWA, caring across generations & like a million other groups have been making this point for so long feministgreennewdeal.com/wp-content/u...

no, we need to make all care jobs high-paid, unionized jobs with dignity & respect, and then men will absolutely *clamor* for them

this is my nightmare come to life "Carlyle will build a 2.5 to 3 gigawatt data centre on roughly 1,384 acres at Fort Bliss, a base in El Paso, Texas" add this to *everything else* happening at the border & the insane data center going up close by in New Mexico giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Apollo too, despite many earlier protestations of 'not us!' www.cnbc.com/2026/03/23/a...

My statement on sexual abuse allegations against Cesar Chavez

"My silence ends here." Read Dolores Huerta's statement about her decision to reveal that she was sexually assaulted by Cesar Chavez. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

We're about to see a new surveillance trap: "Plaid for AI" This will look like slick middleware that seamlessly hooks CRMs to Claude, gmail to GPT-5 etc, etc. UX will be great & founders well-meaning. Then the VCs ask: what else can we do with this sick tokenflow data? 1/

I’ve got a spicy essay on @lpeblog.bsky.social arguing Trump2 so far has been like 1979 deregulation returning as farce lpeproject.org/blog/market-...

And in case any law reviews are looking for a great article, “Lewis Powell, Neoliberalism, and the Privatization of Public Law" is looking for a home

Depending on who you ask, Lewis Powell Jr. is either: an ideological mastermind of the Right who led the corporate counter-revolution OR the Supreme Court’s quintessential “swing justice" upholding liberal positions in some of the Court’s most high-profile cases (from affirmative action to abortion)

Thank you to the most brilliant @veenadubal.bsky.social for being my conversation partner about my book on the @lpeblog.bsky.social and to the masterful @jamesbrandt.bsky.social for his support. lpeproject.org/blog/how-fem... @bulaw.bsky.social

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

This is an unjust, illegal war. It violates our treaties and our laws. Presidential impunity must end.

Is it accurate to call the transaction an "accident?" In my Contracts class last fall, we explored whether these sorts of phenomena could doctrinally qualify as mistakes the regulatory questions are thornier more importantly: hero www.theblock.co/post/390722/...

the wildest part of this is that IBM has had AI products designed to do this EXACT stuff for years now! I think Claude could be a *slightly* better version of the same idea, but I think this selloff shows that "the market" doesn't understand tech the way it thinks it does...
