As a history major, I wrote a paper on Sanger that bordered on hero worship. Like my source material, I downplayed the problematic “product of her time” narrative. I was wrong. This piece is outstanding & shows it’s possible to recognize her progress & still call out her racism
@oonahathaway As an @BCLawReview editor, we greatly appreciate hearing feedback from authors and are always eager to improve the process. A huge challenge for student editors is that as soon as we get the hang of our role, it's time to transition the board. That makes change difficult.
@oonahathaway@BCLawReview Just to be clear, we transition our board in April/May. I can't imagine doing so before the February wave! But that doesn't eliminate the learning curve issue re: improving the process. Reform is going to need to come from law profs and schools, not students serving 1 year terms.
@oonahathaway@BCLawReview And this year was just wild. For context, in 2020, our peak # of submissions was 73 in a day. In 2021, it was 137! And that trend holds for all of February. Our number of reviewers didn't change, and I don't think we realistically could have anticipated the need.

Bluebook nerds: which is worse?
Tchr. or Cnty.
Come on! This is an obvious choice. Just try pronouncing them 👀 🤭
Two hours left to vote to advance Team Cnty.!!! #T6AbbrMadness
This was the looming danger behind the “Texas miracle” economy. We’ve invested the bare min. in education, foster care (kids dying/disappearing), affordable housing & #public health (healthcare in general: asshole Gov and #txlege refuse to expand Medicaid so hospitals closing)10/
Unbelievable. Local officials are begging ppl to stay off the roads, but the #Houston area @Walmart where my father-in-law had a vaccine appt today decided to open anyway. They didn’t offer the ability to reschedule. What a terrible situation to put people in (incl. employees!)
I’ve been thinking all day about the message their inaction sent to their own staff — especially the young women. “Don’t bother coming to us if something like this happens to you because we won’t take it seriously.” And the fact that it’s a women-led team? Just gross.
Now that Ducklo has resigned, I’d like to see some accountability for the senior comms staff who completely mishandled this. Their response was woefully inadequate and promoted a toxic culture that is all too present in politics.
White House: Deputy press secretary T.J. Ducklo has resigned, a day after getting suspended for making sexist, threatening comments to a journalist seeking to cover his relationship with another reporter. https://t.co/xEs3wal9KK
New Haven style is the best pizza for dinner. New York is the best on the go. Chicago is the best while in Chicago. Can we change the subject to tacos now?
The purpose of the law school cold call is to prepare you for such great humiliation that when you suddenly become a #ZoomCat, you can confidently say, “I’m prepared to go forward with it” and be totally serious. https://t.co/7ghSRi4R2Z

Hot off the (virtual) press! Check out this timely essay from @JACoganJr on the severability question at issue in the pending ACA case, how Congress extensively relied on the ACA in its early response to the pandemic, and congressional overrides. https://t.co/HiN4TIcqBb
In his new essay, Prof. @JACoganJr argues that Congress has already ruled, via a congressional override, on the severability question at issue in California v. Texas.

It’s sad colleges apparently needed this encouragement after many students felt coerced into coming back for in-person classes this fall. I hope it’s not too late and that this helps my law school friends who were left out of our school’s Thanksgiving testing plan...
It’s an unseasonably warm November day in Boston. I’m wearing a mask while waiting in line to go inside a grocery store. The stakes of this election could not have been higher — I’m celebrating that we are bringing science back to the White House. (And *Madame* VP of course!!)
