Yesterday, @USDA opened the application period for financial assistance to farmers and ranchers who experienced discrimination in USDA farm lending (before 2021). Check out https://t.co/8JTSZ01ICX; https://t.co/0DMkBEwcKk

Proud of @MatthewAkiyama & Tessa Bialek for this JAMA article, Carceral-Community Cascade and HCV Elimination, https://t.co/hg0brEK3G2. We published a version at https://t.co/ONnDxuiEW1, as part of a whitepaper series on criminal justice reform and civil rights litigation.

[Secretary Tom Vilsack @SecVilsack]

On the best day, I want to extend warm wishes to @taylorswift13, who happens to share a birthday with me. I also want to acknowledge her philanthropic efforts during her Eras tour, where she graciously donated to local food banks supporting food insecure families nationwide.

@madebygoogle Thanks. All set!

[Margo Schlanger @mjschlanger]

@MadeByGoogle, how do I get to chat with support people? I'm in an endless loop of webpages.

Proud that my law review article was useful to John Oliver and @LastWeekTonight in a blistering (but fair) critique yesterday of the horrors of solitary confinement. Also, wait, people read law review articles?

Important new piece from @mjschlanger, Elizabeth Jordan, and @RoxMoussavian in @hlpronline, arguing that the ADA and Rehab Act require alternatives to pretrial incarceration when confinement impairs the ability of disabled people to participate in court. https://t.co/nxhzncUW1V

@StefenRShort @HaubLawatPace Message me and I'll add you to a listserve for folks teaching about prisons at law schools. And see https://t.co/bIHdo0oW8A for tons of material, sample syllabi etc.

[Margo Schlanger @mjschlanger]

@kmtani I love how you (& CIL/DREDF) concretized what it means to push out a rights frame in a consumer-empowering program. My favorite line: "if you're going to teach me about my civil rights as a disabled person, you sure as hell better know what a leg bag is." Thx for posting!

[Margo Schlanger @mjschlanger]

@KSVesq Me too! I love buying tchotchkes, but it gets too much to have them everywhere. If I had a tree I could put them on for a while, I'd be really excessive.

@ekownyankah @Nonfinality I always just make up hazards -- a puddle from tracked in ice, in Hutchins, or a projection machine falling from the ceiling in the middle of class, say. If I used real risks, I think I'd walk around nervous for months after grading the exams.

@melanienewport @PennPress Congrats on publication of this terrific book!
