We may very well have to lean into our inherent power and sovereignty and leave the Supreme Court to its colonial endeavors and remove our trust from the institution https://t.co/T5iofXnwS9

I like this a lot: Instead of a list of who is most cited, a list of who is most thanked for helping others by commenting on their papers. (With the team of people working as @marklemley listed #1, and, appropriately, the late Dan Markel as #2.)

My best advice for law students, jr. lawyers, & jr. academics is to decouple your happiness and self worth from others’ opinions. Grades, journals, institutional prestige, senior profs, conferences—the system is a trap designed to make you feel bad. Succeed on your own terms.

New draft: Legislative Constitutionalism & Federal Indian Law. It explores what the history and law of American colonialism can offer to Supreme Court reform and toward building an alternative constitutional culture to our flawed juricentric system. https://t.co/tVFS6UQ6Nz

I love this question, my students do this and I’m always so appreciative and thank them back 💕

[Nazune Menka @NazuneJD]

@alixabeth Yes! They are so sweet. 🫶🏽

Syllabus writing is such a disciplining process; I'm grateful for the interest. But I can't seem to find an easy way to share--please email, if you'd like a copy. It is a 13 week upper-level constitutional law class; 90 min. per class. A few caveats & thanks: 1/

Today my baby talked about our Cheyenne culture to 3 kindergarten classes in a mix of Spanish/English. He told them that Natives are still here & no mama isn’t Pocahontas, she’s a professor 😂 & then we all round danced. F* I’m so proud. How did I get so lucky? #wearestillhere

@MelaninMvskoke Umm yes you!!!

[melanin mvskoke @MelaninMvskoke]

See, this is why congress having plenary power over Native nation/Natives is problematic. Native nations don’t need a settler nation to be our custodian. To tell us how to protect our children. We have and continue to be capable of self-governance and self-determination!
