Jane Goodall over here making me cry on a Sunday morning. 🥺

Just reading about UC professors' fight against loyalty oaths in 1949 for, oh, no reason at all.

Have something bigoted to say? Just use polite words, each of which is inoffensive on its own! People will call you "civil" because they can't see the forest through the trees.

This is why the @lawyers4goodgov.bsky.social Pro Bono Litigation Corps is such a critical innovation. It empowers solos and small firms, less vulnerable than most to institutionalized fecklessness, to take on cases challenging the administration. www.lawyersforgoodgovernment.org/pro-bono-lit...

So that's how much a lawyer's soul is worth. 🤔

Everything is awful, but...

Pour one out for science education in a sea of anti-vax religiosity.

several thousand people marching the streets of Dublin chanting: "get them out!!" & "whose streets, our streets!!!" people with US flags and MAGA posters in the crowd too

The last five months have been scary and isolating. Today's march in SF helped break that mold. It felt so good to be surrounded by people as outraged as I am about what the administration is doing.

Name 3 films you've seen 10 times.

My favorite detail of this story is that the stalker was Field's former colleague... from when they both served on the Supreme Court of California!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs ("Hard mode" no Star Wars, Star Trek or LOTR)

Worth noting that something like one in five people has dyslexia—a *huge* proportion of the population. Book snobs, grammar scolds, and the typo police would do well to consider this before casting aspersions.

My panel with @daniel-solove.bsky.social, @mariotrujillo.bsky.social, and @alexreevegivens.bsky.social on DOGE, the Privacy Act, and how to protect privacy in our new authoritarian regime can be viewed here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6eQ...

I have a joke about Endymion, but it will put you to sleep.

L4GG's organizing call brought such light into my day. ~800 attorneys made time to attend, and that alone gives me hope that our profession will meet this precarious moment in our country's history.

This is why fascism is for losers. It is the last gasp of a group of ideologues who realize that they've already lost the future and have nothing to lose by burning it all down. Everything made more sense when I realized that a few years ago. Fascists are residual culture that refuse to go away.

Completely indistinguishable from pre-raid memeing in Discord. 😔🙏

The federal government is trying to destabilize and fragment the legal profession. Now is the time to publicly push back. Please consider adding your name to the list.

Allez vous faire voir, espèce de collabo

Dipping my toe into the water of posting under my actual name. 😬
