Not to diminish law review articles & law school committee work, but right now law professors should be working collectively on an intellectual & service project of immense, existential importance: building consensus around a revolutionary constitutional framework-of a Reconstruction 2.0 magnitude.

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.
It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.
Community members are devastated.

If there is one lesson to draw from the history of fascism in the interwar period in Europe, it is this:
Democracy falls if and when mainstream conservatives and centrist/center-right elites decide to make common cause with extremists because they consider the “radical Left” the more acute threat.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.

Between these LA deployments and the military parade this weekend (~$45 million) you could fund 86% of the NEH next year.
Two weekends of egregious, unnecessary, criminal waste, instead of a full year of the arts, thousands of artists supported, hundreds of thousands of people moved and inspired.

Seeing as Emil Bove personally fired me from DOJ in retaliation for prosecuting January 6 rioters, I don’t think he should be confirmed to a lifetime seat as a federal judge. But that’s just me.

See this? It's called a non-inferiority trial. It compares the new vaccine with the current vaccines to see if the new vaccine does better. This new vaccine did.
Placebo-controlled trials are not needed to test most new vaccines. Demanding them will only reduce vaccine access. Which is the point.

Virginia Giuffre: 'A dead victim is a believable victim - we have to believe women while they’re alive'
On Saturday morning, I woke just before 4am. Jolted awake by the radio playing softly beside me that reported the death - by suicide - of Virginia Giuffre, at the age of 41.
