It wasn’t hard to see this coming. Here’s my post from September 3, 2016.

Would you mind citing to some of your writings on this? I’d love to read more about it. Kavanaugh stops… it’s a name that’s going to stick.

CAUTION!!
ALL PEOPLE
OF AMERICA, ONE & ALL,
You are hereby respectfully CAUTIONED and advised, to avoid conversing with the Federal Agents and Police of America,
For since the recent ORDER OF JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, they are empowered to act as
KIDNAPPERS AND Slave Catchers
And they have already been actually employed in
KIDNAPPING, CATCHING, AND KEEPING
SLAVES. Therefore, if you value your LIBERTY, and the Welfare of the Fugitives among you, Shun them in every possible manner, as so many HOUNDS on the track of the most unfortunate of your race.
Keep a Sharp Look Out for
KIDNAPPERS, and have
TOP EYE open.
OCTOBE 3, 2025.

Here's a slowed down video of the murder an ICE agent committed today in broad daylight. He had no reasonable fear for his safety; the car was clearly turning and MAYBE he had to take one step aside. And he fired at least twice from the SIDE of the car. Don't let them gaslight you. #ICE #MURDER

The UCI Law Clinics hosted a wonderful screening of @ninetyminuteslater.bsky.social, Cyndy Fujikawaʻs heartbreaking profile of Vanessa Marquezʻs life and tragic death. With @susanseager.bsky.social. We wrote about it here: ipat.law.uci.edu/uci-law-clin...

From 1851 to 2025. This image shows where we are right now as a country—and it’s not pretty. I can’t believe we’re here. But we will hold onto hope, and keep on struggling, organizing, speaking out, and acting with love and nonviolent resistance. And we will win.

I just canceled my Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle. You should too. They removed Jimmy Kimmel because the FCC threatened to retaliate—a blatant 1st Amendment violation. Among many actions we can take, join the growing boycott! If it's hard to cancel online, just call 1-888-905-7888. #BoycottDisneyABC

Every law student in the country, every lawyer, every judge has a pocket copy of the Constitution. And it’s right there in black and white. Article I, Sec. 8: “The Congress shall have Power To…Declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land And Water.”

Cover of a pocket copy of THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES with the quote: “...its only keepers, the people.” - George Washington

Drake's lawsuit against his label treats rap diss track lyrics like literal statements of fact akin to a news report. Charis Kubrin, Adam Dunbar, Kyle Winnen and I thought that's a very dangerous assumption, so we filed an amicus brief providing history and context. More at tinyurl.com/drakeamicus

Still from Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" video showing Lamar hitting an owl-shaped piñata with the caption, DISCLAIMER: NO OVHOES WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO. Drake made an issue of this image in his legal complaint.

I’ve seen nine presidents. Biden has *by far* been the best, with the slimmest majorities and in the most trying of times. So sad to see him go, but excited as hell for Harris and a new generation to step up.

“With our democracy on the ballot, there is no one more qualified than Vice President Harris to prosecute the case against Donald Trump." Well done, ASDC.

In thinking about tonight’s #CA47 primary, I’m taken back to June 5, 2018. Look at those numbers! (Katie Porter would go on to win in the general, of course.) My how times have changed.

LA City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto has a lot of nerve to attend a journalism event and tweet about it, while suing reporter Ben Camacho, who simply received and published photos Soto's own office gave him. Now Soto is lobbying for public employee identities to be secret. #pressfreedom #journalism

That's pretty early! One of the things we discuss in the Second Edition is the FOUR DECADES of negative media treatment of rap and how that affects bias and prejudice.

I wrote for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on the YSL trial and the choice prosecutors made to make Young Thug’s rap lyrics the central focus of a massive RICO trial. This brings racial bias into the courtroom and has dangerous free speech implications for all.

My heart breaks for Mauʻi. The island has been over-touristed and overdeveloped for decades and that has a direct relationship to this fire. If you have ever visited #maui PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO THE RELIEF EFFORTS and support a sustainable rebuild. mauicommunityrecoveryfund.org #hawaii
