I hope Professor Barnett's colleagues and students at @georgetownlaw.bsky.social Georgetown Law will give his words the reception they deserve. #lawsky #academicsky @jentaub.bsky.social
Interested in how an influential amicus curiae brief comes together? Joining me in this webinar are Rachel Grossman and John Nakahata from the firm that represented me & Larry Oda, whose personal story of birthright citizenship the brief narrates. apiavote.org/birthright-w... #lawsky #academicsky
Enjoyable to watch? Absolutely! Courageous? For sure! Unprecedented? Hardly! The stuff of "awe?" Depends on your perspective. Awe was what I felt watching this as a kid. What I felt this time was "nostalgia," or maybe "deja vu."
Artemis II was overshadowed by other bad things in the news but what it accomplished was frankly amazing. We are capable of incredible and unprecedented things. I’m in awe at how far we safely sent humans into space.

My university is too scared of its shadow to publicize the impact of my amicus brief in the birthright citizenship case, so I am grateful to my former dean Gene Nichol for this shout-out. #lawsky #academicsky www.newsobserver.com/opinion/arti...
Justice Alito should bring this sensibility to his effective assistance of counsel jurisprudence!
Justices play blame game over racial discrimination on Mississippi jury Alito: "This is the most timid and reticent defense counsel that I have encountered. Any competent defense attorney that I knew would have spoken up." www.courthousenews.com/justices-pla...

I'm stunned. Rachel Maddow spent a full 3 minutes tonight detailing the arguments I make in my amicus curiae brief in the birthright citizenship case. Here's hoping Sam Alito and Neil Gorsuch are regular Maddow Show watchers! 😉 www.youtube.com/live/e5u_Dmb...

In my amicus curiae brief in the birthright citizenship case, I show that the U.S. recognized as citizens children born to (1) Japanese enemy aliens, (2) US citizenship renunciants, and even (3) people dragged to the US from Peru and held for deportation. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

What an odd take. I've been on college campuses since 1994. There have been countless events worthy of big protests over that time -- and almost no sizable protests. The question is the opposite of the one this piece asks: why has there been only one seize-the-campus-style protest in decades?
“The events of the past three months seem almost perfectly engineered to spark campus unrest,” Rose Horowitch argues. “But campuses across the country—places where students colonized the quad to protest Israel’s war against Hamas—are strangely silent.”

This is a peak UNC Chapel Hill story. They've put a popular undergrad tour guide on probation after an undercover UNC employee went on her tour and disapproved of a few things she said. It's astonishing how fragile this university often is. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThTSf6dk/ #academicsky

Two critical reviews have appeared of the @maddow.bsky.social podcast "Burn Order" on Japanese American incarceration -- mine and Scott Kurashige's. densho.org/catalyst/mul... substack.com/home/post/p-... Will @maddowblog.bsky.social be acknowledging and responding to the critiques? #skystorians

I'm thrilled this morning to see my amicus curiae brief about birthright citizenship as one of just 2 (out of 43 filed!) singled out by @stevevladeck.bsky.social in his newsletter "One First." The brief is here: tinyurl.com/3hy76638 Please help spread the word! #lawsky

Yesterday I filed an #AmicusCuriae brief at #SCOTUS in the birthright citizenship case. It presents stories of 3 families of Japanese ancestry--w/o legal allegiance to the USA--to show citizenship derives from birth on US soil, not parental loyalties. #lawsky #skystorians tinyurl.com/3hy76638
