Had a beautiful afternoon at the Keweenaw Bay Ojibwe Community College working with manoomin. @michiganstateu.bsky.social

On the @michiganstateu.bsky.social bus tour for the next three days. First stop was Up North Arts Cadillac where we supported arts and living wages for artists. #bustour

The Capitol lawn is now full of signs, flags, and cheering protestors.

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

I need to get off here because between the BREAKING posts with no link/proof and the “no one is covering it” posts when they demonstrably are, I’m going nuts. Everyone is getting worse at the internet and the internet is getting worse

FWIW I didn’t see this at DTW this morning. Just the usual RealID one

This. Whole. Thread.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

This isn’t nothing in these days for a Hilton property

When corporations surrender in the face of that pressure, they endanger not just themselves, but the right to free expression for everyone in this country. The duty to defend the First Amendment does not rest with government, but with all of us.

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries could hold a press conference right now and announce that they will not fund a government that is engaged in an organized and unconstitutional effort to silence any criticism.

"Yes, Yes, to Ta-Nehisi Coates, you listen."

The Washington Post now has no Black Opinion columnists - none - at a time when white nationalism is ascendant in our nation. I am grateful to Karen for the truth and fearlessness her work has always shown. Keep shining that light, my friend.

This is my position as well. You want my vote? You need to salt the earth this administration walked on

So I'm grumpy that we seem to be once again creating a dynamic in our party where the people who got to the right answer sooner are marginalized for doing so, while people who were wrong get credit for changing their minds once it became obvious they were wrong. (See also NAFTA, Iraq War, Gaza.)

Today I found out my parents had never seen Terriers. Watched the pilot with them, and I had forgotten how perfect it was. I loved that show Justice (and another season!!) for Terriers!! @sepinwall.bsky.social

Hey hey RFK How many kids have you killed today

@alanrozenshtein.com discovering Cranbrook has me howling. Imagine your regular MI public school kid heading there for a hockey tournament.

I just want people who try to make everything easier for everyone, not harder. Life is hard. Bills like this are evil, because they make everything harder for all of us, but especially for those who lives are already hard

Every day Democrats need to make it clear that practically everything that sucks in American life is the result of the Republicans. They aren’t your friends or colleagues or just folks on the other side of the aisle during a polite dispute. They are evil motherfuckers who are on your enemies.

the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history

court expansion needs to be non-negotiable for the dem nominee going into 2028

RFK is killing children with this horrific nonsense. My anger about this knows no bounds Kennedy's new vaccine panel alarms pediatricians with inquiries into long-settled questions apnews.com/article/cdc-...

I will always think of heat like this as Do the Right Thing weather

I made a WITAOD joke in a slack today and no one got it. Thankful for @annabower.bsky.social and her recent episode explaining WITAOD pca.st/episode/394f...

Any podcast panel that advises parents learn a whole new technology (AI) and teach their children about it and regulate their children’s use of it because we can’t regulate AI because our country must be leaders in the AI competition, by law must have a mother of a 15-17 year old child on it

I wish my students could hear me say talk to myself as I grade: “GOOD JOB girlie!” or “I love this argument you creative icon, even though it would never win” or “Oh, CHEFS KISS on that brief formatting”

This one thousand times:

The environmental costs argument has been the most surprising and most persuasive to my law students, I think

I’ve been saying since February? that we are looking at budget problems for higher ed (law specifically) at LEAST as bad as in the ‘09 crash.

I worked for the NALC—not for a long time, but I learned a lot. Letter carriers are part of our community and they deserve our support for the work they do day in and day out (today it was putting up with my barking dog at 630pm on a Saturday).

AI is not transformative or even useful if these are the conditions it requires. A completely unnecessary product that destroys the air and our water

rules are rules

this is legitimately evil

I’m disconcerted that Rev Barber both restarted Moral Mondays and was arrested at the Capitol two days ago and I had no idea. I read a lot of news sources, but a quick search shows virtually no national coverage episcopalnewsservice.org/2025/04/29/t...

Jesus christ

I’m glad of the attention but I wish people would stay mad about this regardless of administration. This isn’t new 😕 vera-institute.files.svdcdn.com/production/d...

Schakowsky once yelled at me about a travel issue when I was 22 and working as an assistant at the DNC. That was 26 years ago.

I’ve been avoiding this because we SHOULD be cheering the faculty senates at Big Ten schools, but all they can do is -recommend- to the leadership to join a mutual defense pact. As far as I’m aware, there is no such thing in existence YET. Now the pressure must turn to leadership at these schools.

For the first time at MSU, a law clinic gives students an opportunity to represent clients facing criminal charges. It is the newest of several other law clinics run out of MSU’s College of Law, and focuses on an underserved aspect of the criminal legal process: pre-conviction appeals.

I am already a material supporter—Lawfare keeps me updated and I regularly reference their work in my law school classes. Their work is incredible and I highly recommend them. My only sadness is my area of expertise means I’ll never get to be on Rational Security.

Trump/Vance sport curse continues. Everything they touch loses/breaks

I cannot tell you how surreal it is to hear your Canadian born US citizen husband talk to his US born Canadian citizen mom about how scared the two of them are to cross the border to see each other.

List of firms signed on to amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie. Lots of firms on here, but a lot are missing.

Grew up in Michigan with a Wisconsin dad and 100% believed everyone made Manhattans and Old Fashioneds with brandy till I was 25 years old.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

By my clock, he’s done it. Fuck Strom Thurmond.

It’s always (sadly) tough to know how these firms will respond, but I’m very glad I can still speak with respect about former co-counsel of mine and our work together

Michigan State is Elite. Go Green!
