(I kept thinking I’d wait til the world was less awful to post this but am reminded that the world will always be the world and I find hope & meaning in imagining and working toward a better version of my little corner of it.) (3/3)

My latest, Family Regulation’s Consent Problem, is out now! In it, I describe (some of!) the incredibly coercive & unconstitutional methods the state uses to extract families’ consent to home searches… (1/3) https://t.co/5GqwKbZyca

And ultimately argue that by focusing too heavily on how to shore up consent, we may miss opportunities to meaningfully reduce surveillance of race-class subjugated families. (2/3)

@DorothyERoberts Amazing! Thank you for fundamentally changing the understanding of family regulation and rejecting soft justifications for the violence done to poor & Black families. (And thank you for blazing a trail for those of us who've come behind.)

The more important thing is that he (allegedly) stole millions of dollars from NYers while militarizing the city and justifying it all via racist dogwhistling & fearmongering, but I can't get over how GOOFY he is.

My dad once flew from SF to TX via Newark because he "sleeps better on planes" (a/k/a loves frequent flyer miles) so, same energy.

Absolute chef's kiss of a community note. What a lot of work passive voice is doing here!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Earlier today, one of our officers was shot while protecting our subway system. I am relieved to report he is in good condition now, and we have arrested the suspect who put so many lives in danger. I cannot thank these officers enough for their bravery.

@SLisaWashington @ColumLRev Thank you! Our convos about decentering criminal law/crim comparisons were very much in my head as I wrote this, too.

[Anna Arons @AnnaFinally]

Very happy to share that my article, Family Regulation's Consent Problem, will run in @ColumLRev! I argue that fam reg "consent" searches regularly violate the Constituion. . . & that the Constitution is a woefully incomplete solution to surveillance of marginalized communities.

[Anna Arons @AnnaFinally]

[The Appeal @theappeal]

An Appeal survey of state prison systems reveals that prisoners in many of the hottest states live in units without air-conditioning. Only five states provide air conditioning in all prison housing units.

When I did a colloquium on Prison/CLS Abolition last Fall, I was certain I could never match the lineup. BUT I DID! @j_simonson @hashtagblevin @DanielHarawa @AnnaFinally @SandeepinBK @MaybellRomero @erin_r_collins @AHoagFordjour @vmsoutherland @kemiller41 and Terrell Carter!

[Anna Arons @AnnaFinally]

@profallentweets yesssss why can't we airdrop??

[Anna Arons @AnnaFinally]

Another attempt to silence, intimidate, and undercut anyone who’s not white & not a cis man — particularly Black women. Gross.

[Janai Nelson @JNelsonLDF]

In what is perhaps the most unhinged legal complaint I’ve read filed by actual lawyers, the extremist group America First Legal issues a conspiracy theorist rant on behalf of allegedly aggrieved white men in the legal academy where ppl of color occupy a mere 20% of all faculty.
