Dunno if I’ve got any Normanites on here but I just saw the teen Hadestown production this afternoon and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #oklahoma #normam #ok

Don’t worry, everyone! The U.S. still has allies. No, not the ones you’re thinking about. But we definitely have nations on our side! No, it’s not that side. But it is a side. An axis, if you will.

Public service immigration lawyer here: Download evidence of past PSLF certifications on your studentaid.gov account NOW. I received an email from DOE this morning saying there's been a change in one of my PSLF submissions, but when I login no changes are reflected. Still time to download your data.

I'm late to the party when it comes to The House in the Cerulean Sea (2020). Just finished & can confirm it's as wonderful as people say. It *is* a tough read with themes of child abandonment and neglect coupled with loneliness and isolation. But the reader leaves with joyful hope for the future.

We are watching him tank the economy in real time. But don’t worry. it’s just a “little disturbance”

I strongly encourage you to read the testimony delivered by Reuben Wasserman, son of my colleague Howard Wasserman, in opposition to speech-censoring attempts to "combat antisemitism" on campus. It is tremendously powerful. Both he and his father should be very proud.

4AM and reading WaPo. Being horrified, once again, at our President siding with the invader-aggressor. 🤮😩

Maybe I had been watching too much media.

Florida recently enacted a new law that hands down harsher sentences depending on immigration status. That’s asking for a constitutional conflict, I told the Associated Press recently. Read the article at abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Test run of gold foil freckles-to see if I want to use them for gala attendance this weekend-revealed that they are VERY hard to remove.

Within the past 48 hours, GSA has: - released a list of 440 federal properties it may want to sell (includes major ones like RFK DOJ building) - removed the list from its website - said it'll be republished after evaluating input www.govexec.com/management/2...

Private prison company CoreCivic announces new contract with ICE to reopen an immigration prison for families in Dilley, Texas, the South Texas Family Residential Center. The company expects to earn $180 million in annual revenue from this contract. ir.corecivic.com/news-release...

What does it mean when all of my socials have started pitching different ways in which I can move to Canada?

I clerked for two wonderful judges. But I know folks who had a much different experience. There were clerks who would ride the elevators and cry out of sight of surveillance cameras.

Grateful to @telegraphnews.bsky.social for posting the full Trump-Zelensky argument. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_kT...

The students have a LOT of questions about what’s going on with #immigration these days. I’m gonna do my best to answer them!

Interested in joining the legal academy? Be my colleague! Oklahoma is hiring a VAP who has experience and interest in securities fraud law. I look forward to mentoring the person who takes this position so that they are positioned for success! apply.interfolio.com/163079

Had a wonderful time in Wisconsin. Love this Kit-in-action shot of my presentation regarding eldercare, TPS, and LLCs.

Back in OK in time for the NHS musical. Kiddo is in the pit and on the drum set. Of course.

Speaking about mom is always a gut punch. Trying to remember moments like this more than the lowest moments over those last years.

Excited to be at @law.wisc.edu this morning to talk about how the end of Temporary Protected Status will hit elder care in the US.

Things you don’t want to hear at the airport when you woke up at 340am to get here: “we have a deicing situation. There is no one here to operate the deicing truck. We hope someone will be here soon.”

For those that don't understand what is happening here: ASMR is listening to sounds that cause a pleasurable, tingling sensation. Elon and the official White House account apparently experience that from the sounds of chained migrants being deported by plane. Monsters.

The economic impact of international student is measured in BILLIONS. My paper based on interviews with international students at the start of the first Trump administration--relevant again. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I encourage you to read this thread. My heart breaks for such dedicated federal workers whose lives have been upended.

The NWS is not needed and neither is NOAA. We must rely on the AccuWeather 10.99 a month tornado warnings because they saved my life instead of the 700 other ways to get free life saving information about tornadoes says a couple truck drivers at a Buccees in Lexington Kentucky.

I'm teaching Civil Procedure today. Anyone have a valentine's idea? Here's where I am so far: Joinder is fun, jurisdiction is too, on this valentine’s day, let’s do a hypo or two! #valentine #civpro

Happy Valentine's Day! #immigration #immprof

Made my YouTube acting debut in the latest Torts video by @profericejohnson.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd67...

Overwhelmed by the deluge of #immigration changes? @propublica.org has an AMAZING piece that distinguishes between things tried during the first administration and new efforts. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

I have given each kid a copy of my draft. Neither has read it even though they know it holds family secrets that they want to know. I have definitively proven that no one reads law reviews.

I did not know it was possible to make disgusting blueberry muffins. But I have succeeded where others have failed. 🤢

Meanwhile the public employee out here saving the jail/county from an unlawful detention lawsuit that could cost $$$$ 🙄

Not only is it unusual to hold longer, but it opens the county up to an expensive lawsuit for unlawful detention.

Public schools are shut down tomorrow b/c too many teachers and bus drivers have the flu. This season is nuts!

A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . . www.history.com/this-day-in-...

My greatest honor was taking a personality test and being told that I am Samwise Gamgee.

Feeling like crap with a capitol K really ought to be an expression.

Out of curiosity, at what point will the Wicked songs stop running through my head?
