Now that it's official, I'm thrilled that my article "Disentangling the Civil-Carceral State" is forthcoming in the NYU Review of Law & Social Change (@SocialChangeNYU)! Draft is up now at https://t.co/UJ59t8Mb0w #legalacademia #lawtwitter

@Djuna22 @ProfUnger I can think if maybe one time I reallly did have to be a jerk, but usually being professional actually helped advance my clients’ interests more effectively - who would’ve thunk?!?

@seesbhasin @UMDLaw Congrats! I wish we had overlapped in Baltimore, but I’d love to talk critical evidence anytime ☺️

@MaybellRomero I suspect some of my students were doing this, but it was not helpful to them…

Sarah is an amazing and brilliant scholar, lawyer, and teacher. Everyone should read this piece, and if you’re on a law school appointments committee you should hire her!

Yesterday's NYT incident calls to mind a quote from Jacques Ellul's 1965 study of propaganda: "Why always fall into the error of seeing in propaganda nothing but a device to change opinions? Propaganda is also a means of reinforcing opinions, of transforming them into action."

@AnthonyMKreis That’s an average of $13.78 per item. Pretty good deal for buying in bulk!

@realesttheorist How do you think I got back to Baltimore from DC? Commuter rail is for the plebes 😉

Who hasn’t been offered a seat on a private jet by someone they casually spoke to a handful of times in large group settings? You can’t walk away from a conference with at least 2 PJ invites these days!

NEW: According to new research, poverty is the fourth-greatest cause of death in the United States, associated with 183,000 deaths in 2019 among people 15 years and older.

People should not live in or die from poverty in the richest nation ever to exist.

@mnb810 It’s notable that he listed his LSAT and bar scores but not his grades…🤔🤦‍♀️

Taking away food, healthcare & basic income support doesn’t help people work. It just makes them hungrier, sicker & poorer.

If what Rs wanted was for people to work, they’d invest in child care which *actually* has evidence of supporting employment.

Every state has a program to reimburse victims of violent crime.

But Black victims and their families are disproportionately denied aid in many states, often for reasons that experts say are rooted in racial biases, according to an AP examination. https://t.co/841aLJ3Lgl

[Coalition Against Policing by Hopkins 😷🇵🇸 @CAPH1312]

“The three contracts that CBP awarded to Johns Hopkins go far beyond medical training. Two are funding the school’s Applied Physics Laboratory to research and develop a surveillance software, called Minotaur, that can track people crossing the border from both land and ocean.”
