Whoever finds the mini dog biscuit in the bathroom at work will be very, very confused.

TGIF I preordered myself this book today 😬🥰📚

I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language. But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

Many times when I start an email from my phone, I accidentally type “Ho” instead of “Hi.” 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Luckily, I catch it often. On the bad days, I don’t. 🫠😵‍💫

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Very excited for this webinar that’s about to begin: The Future of Bar Admissions. It’s critically important, especially in light of the chaos that was the February 2025 California bar exam and with the Next Gen Bar Exam on the horizon.

Looks like the California Bar Exam will be back to in person testing for July: newsroom.courts.ca.gov/news/califor...

TGIF! I invite you to scream with me, if you’re feeling so inclined.

This week was extremely difficult for California Bar takers. Approximately 5,000 examinees sat for the California State Bar Exam. A number of changes were implemented prior to the exam and they resulted in a massive exam failure that may have impacted all applicants in one way or another.

I really love book mail because it combines two of my favorite things. And then it leads to one of mu other fave things: reading! Here’s this week’s book mail 👇

Did you know? The Nazis modeled their race laws after Jim Crow laws. They decided they weren’t harsh enough so the Nuremberg Laws were created which set the stage for the mass murder of over two thirds of Europe’s Jewish population. Jim Crow wasn’t just evil—it was an inspiration for atrocity.

OMG NIKKI BELLA ❤️❤️❤️ #royalrumble

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

I highly recommend Timothy Snyder’s ON TYRANNY if you haven’t read it already. He summarizes each one of the lessons from the book on his substack, which you can read or listen to: open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

A thread worth your time 👇 (Time is something I’ve thought about a lot, so I appreciate Mishell’s reflections here 💓)

I just want everyone to stop telling me what they’re afraid of and start telling me what they will bravely do in the face of this.

I am sending so much love and kindness to those that need it 💓

A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant. I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester. Who was Wong Kim Ark? 1/
