Absolutely shameful behavior by NYU Law.

“The truth is that no site or forum is acceptable to the university when it comes to pro-Palestine speech.” interc.pt/44on03B
A photo of pro-Palestinian students protesting Israel's war on Gaza outside Bobst Library at New York University on May 10, 2024, in New York City, overlaid with the headline, "NYU Demands Law Students Renounce Protests or Be Barred from Sitting Final Exams."

The slope isn't slippery; the frog isn't gradually getting boiled. Within its first hundred days the Trump administration has openly asserted the right/ power to seize and imprison anyone— including political dissidents, including citizens— and deprive them of any legal recourse at all.

Trump's changes to DOJ & EEOC pose grave threats to new workplace protections for reproductive healthcare access. Rolling back new pregnancy rules will harm workers seeking all kinds of care, including miscarriage care. See my op-ed in @bloomberglaw.com today:

Reproductive Rights Face Headwinds As EEOC, DOJ Change Tack
NYU Law’s Madeleine Gyory says the curtailment of federal protections for reproductive health-care access for workers would further erode reproductive rights in the US after the Dobbs decision.

Among the Trump administration’s ongoing assaults on lawyers is its very real threat to take away critical legal services from vulnerable kids. My write-up for @slate.bsky.social is below.

"Let’s be crystal clear... A private citizen with zero Constitutional authority is effectively seizing control of critical gov't functions. The Constitution explicitly requires Senate confirmation for anyone wielding significant federal power — a requirement Musk has simply ignored"

From @mmasnick.bsky.social: a good overview of the different ways Musk has been grabbing control over the different data/financial/contracting systems of government, concluding with this: www.techdirt.com/2025/01/31/e...
But this is the US government. He doesn’t own it. He wasn’t elected. He wasn’t officially appointed. And there are laws that are being broken left and right. Even worse, the impact of all this nonsense is way more significant and way more serious than any of the shit he pulled at Twitter. Millions of people actually depend on the US government functioning. You can’t just have some random jackass show up and rip out fences and assume shit won’t go south. They went completely south with Twitter, but that was just a random social media site people could move on from. This is the most powerful country in the world, and it’s being ripped apart by someone with no concern or care for the actual damage he’s doing. I would be among the first to say that the federal government needs massive reform, just as I thought that Twitter needed a major overhaul (one of the reasons I wrote my Protocols not Platforms paper was to try to inspire that kind of overhaul). But there are smart ways to do it and then there’s this: which is just utter destruction while looking over his shoulder to see if the nihilistic kids who worship his every move are finding it entertaining.

Today my millennial friend saw my calendar and thought I had plans to hang out with some parent friends on 9/23. It’s hard to be GenX.
