We’re under two weeks out from our first Morning Memo Live event featuring a really smart panel of people deeply knowledgeable on the story I care about most: the politicization and weaponization of the DOJ. Come on out and help us make it a great evening: talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/morni...

Now reading Jennifer Gorton's /Citizen Reporters: SS McClure, Ida Tarbell, and the Magazine that Rewrote America/ and came across a reference to Miss Tarbell's 1887 article on women inventors. @design-law.bsky.social and others may enjoy! (pp 355-357) www.google.com/books/editio...

I've started explicitly addressing some of what's described in this article as I go on my merry way, institution to institution insisting that we can and must continue to teach writing. There's two main risks. Both are real. 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/t...

Read and follow @cbhessick.bsky.social to learn how proliferating plea bargains damaged our criminal justice system and why they should not be used to prohibit any exoneration claims. And read and follow @robertmannbooks.com, too.

"Because of your book program sending me Michie’s West Virginia Code Annotated, I was able to litigate an amended sentence order from life without parole to eligibility for parole after serving 15 years. In other words, you helped save my life. Thank you."

So many bad things happening at once, but we should not ignore the resurgence of the death penalty and the consequences of allegedly pro-life politicians using it as a bullet point on their thug agendas. Thank you @bolts.bsky.social for the work.

My first post here is a dip into nostalgia for Willie (and Waylon and the boys) with this lovely reminder about longevity and preaching love from @bittersouth.bsky.social.
