At long last, Coercive Ideology is officially published in @MdLRev!
This article is the product of ~7 years of wrestling with the Equal Protection Clause and the problem of racist government expression.

What an incredible day at @GeorgetownLaw celebrating the incomparable Robin West! I wouldn’t be the person or professor I am today without her or the other folks attending West Fest. Leaving DC inspired and full of gratitude (and ideas!).
This is the real value of protest. For me, this moment was the student who interrupted the dinner at Chemerinsky’s house.
I’m not sure exactly what she said (I think she was just praying), and I’m not re-litigating the ethics of that situation. But it got me to pay attention.
Wow, it turns out I played a role in pushing Ta-Nehisi Coates to look more deeply into Palestine.
I was the woman who yelled on the mic about Palestine and got shouted down at his event with Jeffrey Goldberg, it was at the Sixth & I synagogue in DC I think in 2014.
That was really hard to do, I remember being very nervous about saying what I said. I’m so proud I did it.
If anyone reading this knows Ta-Nehisi, please tell him thank you for listening and for his willingness to learn and speak out.
Your mid-semester reminder to let yourself be a beginner. Everyone starts somewhere. Even the current maestros.
I sincerely wish it were one tiny fraction as easy to get gender-affirming surgeries as Republicans seem to think it is.

So glad we have this great photo to remember the St. John's University Faculty Recognition Ceremony last week. Excited to be part of the new SJ Law crew with @TyRoseClemons, Benjamin Sundholm. @evelynliamalave, @LJimLaw

Chutkan confirms with Lauro that what they want is to first brief whether the VP Pence stuff is covered by immunity, and then get to everything else. Lauro says yes, that's what SCOTUS called for in writing and I'm an originalist. Chutkan raises her eyebrows as he says that. She says, you may be an originalist but I'm a trial judge

Very happy to share that my article, Family Regulation's Consent Problem, will run in @ColumLRev! I argue that fam reg "consent" searches regularly violate the Constituion. . . & that the Constitution is a woefully incomplete solution to surveillance of marginalized communities.
Our lives end the day we become silent about the things that matter.

As a junior academic, I was advised to avoid writing about racism until after tenure. Some senior colleagues feared that discussing structural discrimination or critical race theory might limit opportunities.
Here’s why I chose to ignore that advice. 🧵(1/)
One day I will sit and have a long think about why this book fell off so hard from the first two.
But today is not that day.

From the translation: “Now it is clear: Dora survived the Nazi era and died as an old woman.”
