I’m seeing a lot of posts saying people will die because Roe has been overturned. That is definitely true. But perhaps not for the reasons you think.

Florida Senate elections committee just voted to ban all mail ballot drop boxes, which 1.5 million voters used in 2020. 66 of 67 county election supervisors opposed bill

All across country Republicans weaponizing Trump’s lies to make it harder to vote, even in states they won

Emily in Paris was originally about an Indian girl who moves to Paris but when I pitched it, the network executives spit in my face and called me racial slurs. The following week I repitched the exact same concept with a white girl and now I’m nominated for two Golden Globes

So many issuing swirling around relating to the net and free speech. Parler struggling after Amazon and Apple acted, President Trump off facebook and twitter. Got stuck into all of this with @jeffjarvis. Thought-provoking stuff. @https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55615214

The wife of a Supreme Court Justice is likely being questioned by the FBI about her role in planning the Wednesday "protest" and march on the Capitol.

Think about that for a minute.

@jaketapper Someone needs to explain to Pence that he will get lifetime secret service protection as a former president, but not as a former VP. That seems relevant after this week.

Hey, ummm academic lawtwitter, this is gonna get uncomfortable, but we really, really, really need to address the way that law schools elevate and embolden white supremacist students by treating their overt racism as intellectual discourse.
