I used to be a public interest lobbyist. Now I'm a law professor. But my real expertise is trash reality tv. |

This WV girl is elated to share that this paper is forthcoming in West Virginia Law Review!

I explore how post-9/11 precedent paved the way for the Trump administration's abuse of the law to target cartels in international waters and to effectuate its mass deportation campaign.

It’s cool how the White House staff with knowledge of Trump’s phone calls with Israel only have one reporter’s phone number - and it’s the same phone number that Biden’s staff with knowledge of his phone calls to Israel had. What are the chances!

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Ben, you are restarting an org with one of the key backers and lie-promoters of the genocide, Jake Sullivan. How can you promote an op-ed opposing the "re-enlisting the senior Dem decision makers who whitewashed the truth during the Biden admin" when you, yourself, are doing so?

The war is immensely unpopular so of course prominent Democrats want to outflank Trump by arguing being more hawkish.

[Christopher Mott @ChrisDMott]

Thinking our elite is actually very smart and just lying for the rubes is actually a cope. The truth that must be faced is that our elite are rubes themselves who see the world in a way not unlike that of a Disney Adult.

I enjoyed Nuland saying, "If Iran gets nuclear weapons, who's next? Israel??"

[Andrew Day @AKDay89]

The most irritating moment from this clip isn't the "monster" thing, it's when Mearsheimer observes there's no evidence Iran had foreknowledge of October 7, and Nuland and Pompeo condescendingly scoff and sneer without actually producing the evidence.

[Elizabeth Beavers @_ElizabethRB]

lol these guys are so funny, they finally got their Iran War but they're still big mad

you won! go to the FDD afterparty! high five yourselves!

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution.

This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability the inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel.

Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability.

It is important we get this right.

Look at the date.

the DNC report is obviously a dumpster fire but I still feel a little bad for the author who is experiencing my personal nightmare (the entire Internet roasting something I wrote)

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

One of the sleazier media tropes is when the US menaces a much smaller country that’s done nothing to the US and it’s framed as “heightened tensions” between the two countries. Cuba is being unilaterally starved and threatened by the US. That’s not “tensions,” it’s US aggression.

Half of the participants on CAP's "The Future of American Foreign Policy" panel helped perpetrate the Gaza genocide.

This is how elite impunity works. This is how Trumpism thrives.

[Michael Lange @MichaelLangeNYC]

Objectively really bad. Sham democracy.

has she taken some kind of vow that all her signature issues have to involve fruit conspiracies

[Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @RepMGP]

Given that Red Delicious are the worst apples, have you ever wondered why they’re in every school cafeteria? It’s because there’s a list of "approved" apple varieties allowed in schools, and it hasn’t changed since Kmart sold firearms.

Narrowly failed by just a single vote again! Wow what are the chances of that?

[Maryam Jamshidi (msjamshidi.bsky.social) @MsJamshidi]

Today a federal judge in DC issued a preliminary injunction blocking the U.S. govt from enforcing its sanctions against @FranceskAlbs. This is an extraordinary decision, correct on all fronts, & something anyone whose care about justice should celebrate https://t.co/bva6FN4OEg

Kamala Harris’s husband is the part of the legal defense for AB 715 — a very controversial bill that falsely equates criticism of Israel to anti-semitism in California schools.

The plaintiffs include anti-racism orgs, and 3 Jewish orgs included Jewish Voice for Peace.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

The Intercept was kind enough to publish and visualize key data findings from my new book on media bias and Gaza. Here are some examples

- Emotive words in print/
- cable news
- Antisemitism vs Islamophobia mentions
- Coverage of Claudine Gay “scandal” v the Hind Rajab killing

[ettingermentum @ettingermentum]

Just look at the results!

Five legal precedents borrowed from the so-called “War on Terror” have helped the government ramp up aggressive immigration enforcement efforts. Read the new research by Elizabeth Beavers.
