This is a good thread that helps sharpen, not blunt, critiques of US sanctions.

The latest attack on efforts to support diversity comes in the form of a lawsuit targeting Northwestern University’s law school. It uses the absence of diversity in tax law as a smoking gun. Which is weird. Read the surprising truth. #taxlaw #racism diverseeducation.com/opinion/articl…

Right now I am giving this book a proper (i.e, not partial, self-interested, outcome-driven) read. Guys, it’s so good.

Useful run-thru. Harris is for now reiterating the admin’s strategy of urging a ceasefire while continuing US military support No sign of major pressure on Israel + humanitarian language is common from admin (tho often lost coming from Blinken, etc) This doesn’t mean a shift..

My sincere thanks for all of the feedback thus far--especially on language. New draft on SSRN, and new finding that Interior offered the Indian Service as a training school for colonial administration--incl. fieldwork in Indian Country and Japanese American incarceration camps.

Veep was prophecy.

Hey labor (law) twitter: a prof friend of mine is looking for a good *video* introduction to the history of (American) labor to show to students who are not expected to know anything about the subject. Any suggestions?

Glad to see my brilliant Fordham Law colleague and Center on Race, Law and Justice affiliated faculty member Catherine Powell ahead of the pack on this! Great blog post!

These endnotes are utter chaos. Thanks Farrar,Straus&Giroux

Does anyone teach "development planning" out there? Looking to build a reading list on this, covering histories of planning across different periods and contexts, and/or pieces reflecting on historical lessons for contemporary development and ecological planning. Thanks!

New short essay for Harvard Law Review on the impact of the Supreme Court's administrative law term on internationally informed agency action -- the many regulations that incorporate international standards, implement U.S. international commitments or reflect foreign policy interests.

Thank you, Cori Bush.
