As folks chew on the new @pewresearch.org analysis of non-voters in 2020 and 2024, I'm here to say that the only time in U.S. history voting was made a legal duty, it happened because conservative incumbents felt threatened by a changing electorate and hoped 100% turnout would save them. 🧵

Kind of interesting that (some of) the big-co clients are proving themselves to be more principled than (some of) the law firms.

1. NEW At least 11 major companies are moving away from doing business with the law firms that caved and signed deals with Trump. Even though some of these companies are led by executives who support Trump, they do not feel comfortable having a law firm that caved to threats representing them.

. @inquirer.com, could we get some data on how much revenue comes from these international students? It's probably quite significant. These actions don't affect only the directly affected students. www.inquirer.com/education/tr...

Hey SSRN, is it normal to schedule a paper for distribution 3.5 YEARS from now? Is this a de facto rejection of this classification? @approvemypaper.bsky.social (This paper: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/...)

I forgot about this great story by @cragcrest.bsky.social from 2017. The story, and my comment, are as relevant today as they were then.

Important not to lose sight of the fact that the Trump admin is currently asking the Supreme Court to let them strip up to a million people of their current legal immigration status, rendering them undocumented overnight and forcing them to lose the jobs they hold today.

NEWS: Facing litigation, the Trump admin reverses itself on its purge of climate-related websites. The restoration process is "already underway" — and expected to be "substantially complete" in "approximately two weeks." A win for @knightcolumbia.org Doc knightcolumbia.org/documents/2o...

In a blistering ruling, a federal judge blocks a new executive order from President Trump punishing a prominent law firm that successfully sued Fox News for promoting false claims of election fraud. “The framers of our Constitution would see this as a shocking abuse of power,” the judge says.
