To my past, current, and future law students: please know that your accommodations are not a "large advantage." They're a need. Legal education is broken in so many stupid ways. But what we are not going to do is normalize this kind of thinking. Let's go over why. 🧵
Orin KerrHere's Professor Sag's discussion about accommodations that precedes the earlier screenshot. Of course, if students believe that Professor Sag is wrong about that, that's super useful, too, I'd be very interested to hear about that.
Wow. Info hadn’t seen elsewhere about this Flint Hills data center (ugh the flint hills are too lovely for this!): an op-ed supporting it was written by well known business guy who is going bankrupt and who said he didn’t write it; it is his daughter’s project, maybe?; and now no web site.

Why does no one care that we're about to put a global private-prison and deportation executive in charge of TSA? It's not mentioned in reporting, not raised by senators, not even in opposition to Cummins

Every person this administration wrongly deported should be granted asylum and a path to citizenship. Won’t even begin to right wrongs like this. But it’s a place to start.
Gillian BrockellPeople who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years. God have mercy on their three little girls.

Here is what I can’t get past: if the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission stops collecting employer reports, no future administration can fill in the missing years. They’re just gone. That’s how civil-rights enforcement gets weaker without the law changing. My latest for @us.theguardian.com.
