In July, Anat Rosenberg spoke in my Political Healing seminar about her forthcoming text “Hope against Autocratic Legalism during the Democratic Crisis in Israel.” Her words about maintaining hope during a period of increasing autocracy have accompanied me during the past months. @diml.bsky.social

A free and independent press is the necessary fourth branch of democracies. So important to speak about encroachments on press freedom during the first 100 days of the Trump 2.0 administration and what this means for us in Germany. @djv.de @profausberlin.bsky.social

Gratified by Azka Anees' recent review of the 2022 Oxford UP book. Anees applies the book's model of cultural legal analysis to recent events in Canada and carries out the argument that "aesthetics can be used to interrogate and critique the law." Thank you for this thoughtful review.
