The state budget for next year zeroes out all funding, which would put the entire site offline permanently.

I'd also like to say a huge thanks to @tim-bird.bsky.social for producing a stunning piece of art to accompany the research. I've been a fan of Tim's graphic novels for many years now, so it was amazing to collaborate with him on this illustration! I love it so much.

In 1850, California banned Indigenous burning practices.
74 years later, CA is suffering from the consequences.
Climate resilience is possible when we reckon with history.

It is finally here! Eighty years ago, Felix Cohen crafted the first "bible" of Federal Indian Law. I long dreamed of contributing to a rare revision. Today that dream is realized: 100 pages marrying constitutional law with Indian law (mostly structural, also rights), clarifying both.
