I think a lot of ppl still want to be law professors. But not a lot of ppl want to (or are able to) give up high-paying law jobs to spend 2-8 years chasing additional grad degrees and fellowships, moving across the country repeatedly, just to get the job. abovethelaw.com/2022/08/no-o…

#BREAKING: A Florida judge ruled against a bill banning abortions after 15 weeks in the state, calling it unconstitutional.

Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.

@genremixtress: When we present western rhetoric as the only option, it becomes the center. But if you present other methods of rhetoric, then it becomes one of many and helps to de-centralize the white view of the world.

@ljewel: IRAC is white supremacist, patriarchal, classist. It ignores what is actually going on and preserves the status quo. But it is a choice to use this form of reasoning, and there are other choices we can make.

For more than nine years, DREAMers have watched courts and politicians debate whether they’ll be allowed to stay in the only country many of them have ever known. It’s long past time for Congress to act and give them the protection and certainty they deserve.

Florida banned public schools teaching critical race theory, which examines the long-term impacts of white supremacy and slavery, including institutional racism today.
The governor claims without evidence that it teaches children "to hate our country and to hate each other."
