I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Not only am I now the first tenured Latina law prof at Tulane, I am also its first full Latina law prof. And there will be more, I promise.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House. Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports. (Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.) This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

Pete Hegseth sucks. Pete Hegseth is totally unqualified, just as every other appointee made by Trump for this administration. Why hire the unqualified? Because they won't question the directive, the billionaires like Elon Musk and others like Putin, giving the orders to just rip America apart.

america is the land of opportunity. you could become a navy seal, and then even a US senator, and before you know it you’re breaking a marine veteran’s arm with no repercussions. greatest country on earth.

A cabinet with one or two catastrophic picks like Noem, Hegseth, RFK, or Bondi would be among the worst in American history. All of them at the same time? Unlike anything we've ever seen. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-cabi...

I’m so shocked that this would happen with AI cameras. shocked.

“In a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”

ICE is moving people faster & faster. In October, a friend was taken from his home. By the afternoon, he was in Putnam County. They said he'd be there for a couple days. Next day, we rushed there to get him paperwork for legal rep but he was already on his way to Knox Co & in Louisiana the next day.

It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”

"He cannot." 🤣

If you want to know who the NYT really is, as an institution, I once again encourage you to go to the page for their official PR attack-dog account, @nytimespr.bsky.social, and read their replies

No one alive and aware during that era is the least bit surprised by this headline.

“Virginia lawmakers have passed a bill that prohibits schools from teaching that the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection was peaceful or that there was massive fraud in the 2020 presidential election, the 1st Democratic state to try to shape how such events are taught” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How did these men know to stay away from Epstein? One googled him, one asked his mom for advice, and one actually listened to what Epstein said to him and quickly realized he was a witless misogynist. It wasn't that hard, and every scientist who claims they didn't know is either lying or stupid.

It is very funny that the DOJ had to drop their "autopen" investigation into Biden because the Supreme Court ruled that presidents have immunity from prosecution.

We’re watching some ‘West Wing,’ and my God, this cast. I’ll never get over it.

[grabs your face between my palms] My darling, I need you to understand that k*lling as many of us as possible would be good for the billionaire class. There won’t be as much of a water shortage for the data centers that way.
