Hey law profs—I’m on the committee that selects speakers to present books / papers at GW Law’s faculty lunches. Who’s got something they want to workshop?

This is journalistic malpractice. The Biden admin was working on Parkinson's policy.

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

That terrible northwestern complaint is not just bad for its blatant racism and sexism. It is part and parcel of MAGA’s campaign to delegitimize and disempower the institutions of higher ed that serve as society’s whistleblowers.

I'm reading memos and letters to the university community from presidents who are implementing draconian budget cuts this year (for a project I'm working on) and good god the amount of obfuscatory and weasel-wordy business-speak in these things is making me grind my teeth into dust

New from me & @lsepper.bsky.social in @lpeblog.bsky.social!

Today, @lsepper.bsky.social and Lindsay Wiley conclude our series on the LPE of Insurance, arguing that recent religious challenges to the Affordable Care Act should be understood as a major new vector in the campaign against social insurance in the United States. lpeproject.org/blog/the-rel...

The Religious Liberty Threat to American-Style Social Insurancelpeproject.org Religious liberty challenges to the Affordable Care Act often appear narrowly focused on exempting specific employers from covering particular types of care, such as contraceptives, sterilization…

Today is my last day at Chamber of Progress! I'm excited to share that I will be joining Akron Law as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Law starting August. (It's a long story -- I'll blog about it later). Excited for this next chapter! Oh and...send tips for teaching torts!

Congratulations! I'm glad they worked it out. That must have been so stressful.

Well, well, well. WELL. That whole “protests made cops feel bad so they all quit” narrative? Looks like it was mostly myth. Excited to read this paper by Ben Grunwald, who compiled a huge dataset on post-2020 police employment. Agg decline was 1%… and bigger local declines not tied to protests.

Kids' school trips during the summer that require me to wake up at 3:30 am should be illegal.

To be fair, it's a lot easier with two-round elections. It's like a confirmation dialog for fascism

The authoritarian right has power in America only because the majority of Americans didn't care enough to pay attention, let alone vote. The French saw the danger and stood against it.

If you care about criminal system reform, Project 2025 would allow the DOJ to prosecute reform-minded district attorneys.

Bolts is akin to Last Week Tonight: a much deeper dive on important issues than you're likely to get most anywhere else. Like, they have a guide to judicial elections. This is important stuff that gets skipped over by way too many outlets.

For folks who've appreciated my coverage of the French elections... @bolts.bsky.social is quite different—but we cover US politics with such attention to detail. So give us a follow if you've enjoyed this, and care about the US. And our newsletter is free! boltsmag.org/newsletter

Today's underrated song is This Mortal Coil's "Song of the Siren." It has a strong argument for being the most beautiful song of all time. Elizabeth Fraser's voice is so haunting and she exhibits tremendous control. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFWK...

I was pretty sure that Musk followed Wall Street Silver (at least when he first acquired Twitter and I looked through who he followed). Does he not anymore?

We need to give our presidential candidates a real cognitive test, like getting to a good ending in one the old choose-your-own-adventure books without dying.

Whenever I tell a driver that I am a criminal law prof, they ask if I watch Forensic Files. Although I've never seen the show, I simply assume we are not going to arrive at my destination and my body will be found weeks later scattered in a remote field.

I just can't make myself watch a film/show with dubbing instead of subtitles. I wish I could, but it drives me crazy (unless it's comically bad dubbing like old Chinese martial arts films).

Temptation Island crossed with the Democratic Convention. What could go wrong?

Baller move would be to have your students call you "Guv."

Does France desperately need ranked choice voting? Or, are the French just trolls who vote for LOLZ.

French exit poll news and which seems a good sign

The kids want to keep this Ziplock of rocks. Because reasons.

One of my kids went through an origami throwing star phase.

It's interesting how the media often characterizes prominent anti-trans folks in England as "feminist," because "feminist" is viewed more positively in the UK than in the US. In contrast, transphobic writers in the States, making the same arguments, would be horrified to be labeled "feminist."

Reminder that this woman has no medical expertise, no expertise on trans people and as far as I know, no qualifications in counselling

I know this is a crazy suggestion, but it seems like feminism has nothing to do with anti-trans bigotry.
