In a compromise, CDC under RFK Jr. ony requires your child to catch 11 diseases instead of 17. #Satire

Dean: What have you accomplished this year? Me: I'm a Bluesky celebrity. Dean: But what have done? Me: Celebrity. C-E-L-E-B-R-I-T-Y.

AALS off to a good start. See a friend at the airport, and jokes and laughs on the way in.

Hey TSA, what is the point of pre and CLEAR if I get the secondary scan, patted down, and forced to remove my shoes (put on a different line)? Something I said?

Somewhere at #AALS2026, a traveler who thought they were showing up fashionably late suddenly realizes that it starts tomorrow. #Satire

New year, new course! 👨🏽‍🏫⚖️ This spring, I’m launching a Comparative Constitutional Law course at Brooklyn Law School and also teaching U.S. Constitutional Law. I’m especially excited to place BLS students in conversation with an outstanding group of guest speakers:

Literally insane

It is hard to express how distressing this all is. I have studied in the US, lived there for some years, have many friends in CA and elsewhere. I want the US to succeed - not whatever this is.

Glad to talk with Wolf Blitzer @cnn-news.bsky.social about Trump's illegal intervention in Venezuela.

One day, I'll write my autobiography. Maybe I'll have it published upon my death. One of those chapters will include lives I've encountered who have impacted me profoundly. One of them was a mathematician from Nicaragua who was tortured during the Somoza regime.

I ordered a 2026 and seem to have been shipped a damaged 2003

Trump: We are running Venezuela. Rubio: We are not running Venezuela. Trump: We are running Venezuela. Rubio: And Cuba soon! We'll have U.S court orders that we usually ignore but not in this case. #Satire

Schumer: "I'm so angry I'm actively and vigorously doing nothing and making sure my party in unison does the same." #Satire

Phenomenal

How is Democracy trending on X without "Well, actually, we're a Republic" also trending? #Satire

There needs to be a way to stop prior me from being ambitious in booking a morning flight to AALS so that present me doesn't have to change them to later.

So now I think I get it: When Congress held the Iran-Contra hearings, the question wasn't whether Reagan violated U.S. law. He's immune. But, for *conspiring* with Reagan to violate U.S. law, Ayatollah Khomeni could've been kidnapped by the U.S. military, brought to Brooklyn, & prosecuted. ❗

The University will no longer be teaching the Course: History of U.S. Imperialism. We have fired the instructor. However, you can gain valuable experience in the subject through our oil company internship program. #Satire

What does it mean that the US is sanctioning members of the International Criminal Court? They cannot travel to the US. Using credit cards or international financial institutions become very difficult. apnews.com/article/inte...

I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.

In a stunning endorsement of the Donroe Doctrine, China engaged in a military operation and captured Taiwan President Lai Ching-te. In other news, South Africa, acting on behalf of the ICJ, has forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plane to land, capturing him. #Satire

This one is resonating today. #Andor

Breaking: Trump appoints Juan Orlando Hernández as President and CEO of Venezuela. #Satire

Whelp. apnews.com/article/sout...

Almost Every democrat: "I'm no fan of Madura. BUT.... Fetterman: Hulk SMASH! HELL YEAH! No democrat: Law matters. We violated it. AGAIN.

CIA Statement on Venezuela: "If you look at our Latin America track record, we would have done a better job at destabilizing the region and have killed more people in the process. Just look at Pinochet and people being pushed out of planes into the ocean!" #Satire www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

Attending my first #AALS next week! Anyone willing to share tips for preparing or attending the conference? Really excited to meet new people and eat some good local food 😁

New economics question: How many people would you kill for a $1 drop in gasoline prices (and no, that $1 drop isn't happening). www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

I would characterize my AALS packing as 2/3 electronics, 1/6 clothes and toiletries, and 1/6 empty space for things I've forgotten to take.

Seriously!

We are the rogue nation people have been warning about

My latest with @ichotiner.bsky.social.

There's a book about that. Care to guess how it turns out for brown people?

Question: If we're running Venezuela, does that mean it is our territory now? And if so, does that mean Venezuelas have U.S. citizenship rights like Filipinos prior to independence from the U.S.? Asking for future scholarly impact. #Satire

I don't agree with how Hitler removed Kurt Schuschnigg. But now that he has been removed, hoping for a smooth transition to democratic restoration in Austria. #Satire

You can read my take on Trump's illegal invasion of Venezuela here: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

New President of Venezuela spotted returning from the United States. #Satire

BREAKING: Congress in panic as it realizes running Venezuela might mean the additional burden of not providing oversight in TWO countries. #Satire

And again, vaccinate your kids. Vaccinate yourself. Do it for the people you love. I’ll keep saying it until I’m blue in the face

If the U.S. doesn't establish a democratic government in Venezuela, this could be oil for nothing. #Satire

I don't agree with how Hitler removed Kurt Schuschnigg. But now that he has been removed, hoping for a smooth transition to democratic restoration in Austria. #Satire

Venezuela to award President Trump the Order of the Liberator, Venezuela's highest honor. #Satire

That was fast: www.wsj.com/business/ene...

Democratic Leadership Expresses Outrage at Presidential Action: "YOU NEED TO TELL US IN ADVANCE BEFORE YOU INVADE A COUNTRY SO WE CAN MAKE SOME MONEY OFF THIS!" #Satire

Democratic Party Leadership continues to be spineless and complicit.
