After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools. 70 years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white. In this town, one school keeps kids divided. (Published May 2024)

Successful defense today. I’m coming for you, police unions.

This is absurd. We built this database to stop officers who commit misconduct at one police agency from being rehired at another. It's about transparency and safety -- it helps the hiring agencies and the public. With due process protections. Trump shut it down

Lately, a lot of my mornings (before I go to work and teach constitutional law) consist of asking myself why the fuck I bothered learning law in the first place if some pants-shittingly insane BIGOT AND HIS CRONIES CAN JUST ACT LIKE IT DOESN’T EXIST. It’s more of a cry to the gods than a question.

Fuck this so much. As long as you are erasing trans people, you might as well just get rid of all of us queer folks too. When you erase trans people from our history, you write a history that represents none of us. I am sure as fuck not a part of whatever the “LGB” community is, and I never will be.

This is 100% what is happening. When the plane hits turbulence, if the flight attendants look calm, we relax. The Vichy Dems are those calm flight attendants. Except the plane is on fire. 🔥

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Thank you, graduate education. I’m more scared and no one I know can relate to that level of concern.

Clearly MAGA chodes take law and order really seriously. As someone who worked for bail reform and who was met with this exact argument, e.g. “What if you let them out to await trial and they commit a crime?” It’s hard to watch this kind of stuff happen with absolutely no political repercussions.

Holocaust survivor Marione Ingram stood with Federal Workers at OPM, “I am here because what I see in America happening is 1930s Germany. We are now officially a Nazi America. We have a Hitler clone in the White House. He is destroying everything America defeated.” dcmediagroup.us/2025/02/07/h...

There are so many of us and so few of them (the really scary, not the lazily racist). A general strike, sector after sector, is the only way I can see this working. I believe in law but the courts won’t save us. And don’t even bother with the Dems.

Dear workers who have not previously organized in a hostile workplace: 1) Do not use your company's messaging system to talk to your coworkers 2) Do not use company hardware (laptops, phones) to talk to your coworkers. 3) Do not sign up to receive organizing msgs with your company email address

I’m teaching Constitutional Law this quarter (every quarter). I’m turning into a bug-eyed manic. Grabbing the students by their lapels. “It’s not real! Do you understand? It’s not real anymore!” Just crazy crackers.

I have a long-standing beef with the NYT. Then, their complicity in manufacturing the trans panic made me just stroke out at the slightest mention of them. Now, they’re just literally erasing people’s identities? It’s gonna be nonstop strokes.

If anybody is worried about this, I will gladly play the role of "dude with the red string on the cork board" so you look sane by comparison. Because the reality is the richest person in the world is a nazi who snuck in at midnight to steal every American's data so he could shut down the government.
