⁦b-boy bouiebaisse⁩ spot on. Don’t listen to Trump’s BS: “The truth of the matter is that given a second term in office, Trump and his allies will do everything in their power to ban abortion nationwide, with or without a Republican majority in Congress.” nytimes.com/2024/04/09/opi…

“Law professors should view it as an important part of their pedagogical mission to make law students aware of state constitutions and their potential as a source of constitutional rights” statecourtreport.org/our-work/analy…

Nothing says democracy like a court reviving an abortion law passed before women or people of color were allowed to vote.

Really fantastic Brennan Center interview with Justice Anita Earls.

'Ultimately, I believe in democracy. The answer lies with the voters. We must articulate for voters a vision of what a judiciary should look like.'

I’m still not over “a Supreme Court justice’s decision to retire is between her and her doctor.” Really feels like we might have lost the plot on this one.

A reminder that a US president leaning into debt cancellation like this was unimaginable not that many years ago.

Do we need to keep pushing so actions match words? Yes.

Do we need to keep fighting to win not only debt relief but free college? Ofc.

Organizing is everything.

I really regret the kind of brain rot that creates this kind of article. Winning every election is not a plan.

I'm excited to read this -->

The Ugandan Constitutional Court (2d highest court) upholds a sweeping anti-gay law that provides for harsh punishments for engaging in same-sex sex.

In upholding, the court approvingly cited SCOTUS's decision in Dobbs as 'a recent development[] in human rights jurisprudence.'

A little late to the game, but posting abstracts for two forthcoming papers — The Beleaguered Sovereign, with Helen Hershkoff (forthcoming Texas Law Review) & Procedural Political Economy (forthcoming Wᴍ. & Mᴀʀʏ L. Rᴇᴠ.).

Not only did I get to hang out with the amazing Harvard Academic Workers - UAW (HAW-UAW) & Harvard Union of Residential Advisors before their elections this month (plus @huctw!), I also worked in a reference to Brian Highsmith’s groundbreaking HLS reading group “The Company Town: Corporate Power & Local Government Law” 🤓✊

On the hook to repay $1.3 billion of debt this year, prison telecom giant Securus is on the verge of bankruptcy. The company's failure would represent a remarkable victory for activists—and a potential beginning of the end for a predatory industry. theappeal.org/securus-bankru…
