    A thread with gratitude to @mashagessen @nytimes for covering the corporate complicity verdict against LaFarge this week & for the chance to discuss how corporate enabling (incl., now, by BigTech) is key to preventing mass atrocities. Gift link: nytimes.com/2026/04/17/opi…

    It is important to be very clear. The people you see in this photo have not had any due process whatsoever between being uprooted from their lives & families in the U.S. and finding themselves now in CECOT prison in El Salvador: apnews.com/article/trump-…

    As of today, I’m a tenured Professor of Law (same day as @leahlitman!). I can readily imagine myself in a different life – the one that I was on track for with a 10th grade education, unsafe living conditions, insecure minimum wage work. So, a few reflections.

    My dean @DeanFairfaxEsq just called to congratulate me on tenure. The weight of privilege is overwhelming. I left school at 15; today was unimaginable! Thanks to generous colleagues, inspiring students, transnational community of friends/whānau esp. @BatrosBen #firstgen @AUWCL

    "We risk congratulating ourselves for a slew of high-profile dismissals that address particular harms suffered by a privileged subset of victims, without ever grappling with the harms occurring across the board." #metoo

    Bezos: "What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias." Me: You know what creates an even bigger perception of bias? Pulling the endorsement your editorial team has already drafted, just 11 days out from an election.

    It is unfathomable that Trump can remain President for a single day longer

    Can we at least all agree that PBS and Politico should host all remaining debates?

    Our neighbor took this of our two eldest kids, peeking through the mail slot in her door to see if her son wanted to go for a bike ride. It captures a period of their childhood that I could not have imagined a year ago. #COVID

    Sudanese Send Clear `No’ to Military Coup. What Will Security Forces Do Next?
    After mass nonviolent protests, look out for arrests of opponents, prison releases of Islamists, and actions by a key paramilitary unit.
