Proving yet again that employers' return-to-office demands are not about efficiency or productivity. They are all about power. "YOU WILL WORK WHERE I TELL YOU TO WORK!" Yet again, workers need unions to push back.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Law is one of the least diverse professions. Despite decades of attention to the under representation of women in law firm partnerships and leadership positions, this visual shows the CURRENT stats. And don’t even get me started on women of color, who are shockingly underrepresented.

The only way out of this is structural reform of how corporations operate and the place to begin is in Delaware. First by opposing the Musk-friendly amendments and then by proposing actual worker involvement in corporate governance.

If DE is massively overhauling its corporate law, and it’s a progressive state, it should include shared governance provisions to let workers have a voice on the boards of companies where they work.

🧵📊 Did you wake up today wondering how the Federalist Society is on gender? I mean, you probably know, but empirical knowing hits different!

BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.
