I published this a long time ago and it’s 2026 and now a rapist is President and sexual assaulters are on the Supreme Court and in the Cabinet and the Administration has loosened Title IX protections and it’s fair to ask not if things haven’t changed but whether they’ve gotten worse. #cornell

Louisville’s jail is a death trap. These are people awaiting hearings or trials. Like so much else about our city there is no sense of urgency from the highest political level for the sort of fundamental change that needs to occur. The last person to die . . . died from dehydration.

People: Here’s a < 3 minute time-lapse as I draw today’s political cartoon, which I’ll post separately. Some begin with a kernel of inspiration, or desperation, and others take shape while I draw. This one emerged from my head somewhat fully-formed. This guy’s pants, not so much, as you’ll see.

The pigs that run our nation now understand this: Without Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press none of the other “freedoms” matter because when you’re ruled - not governed - in secret you can’t do anything about it. No one is coming to save you. To save us. It’s YOU. And then, it’s US.

Children should not be killed. 20,000 children should not be killed. None of your justifications or excuses are or will ever be good enough. “The enemy is using them as targets”? They aren’t using 20,000 of them. And if they were you need to find another way. Or you’re fighting for nothing.

Louisville will be the last major city in the U.S. to have never had a woman or a person who isn’t white as mayor. Nearly 200 years after our first mayor we still have a murderous police force, ICE jailing innocent people, crumbling schools, and a city run by private developers.

Armelle Bondonga and Aminata Seck remain jailed for committing no crime. However you define yourself on the political spectrum, this should be monstrous and terrifying to an American. If you “don’t care to think about politics” then you a part of the problem. #FreeArmelle #FreeAminata

Ai is many things and among them is theft. Theft from artists and other creators. Theft of work and livelihoods. Theft from the planet. Theft, as we are learning, from our students’ development. My letter on behalf of the AAEC to The Baltimore Sun.

An innocent young woman, mother, and neighbor of yours was abducted by #iCE weeks ago contrary to the Constitution and everything else this nation should stand for. #ArmelleBondonga is still in jail. Every minute she is behind bars is an insult to right-thinking people.

In a functioning democracy, with a capable opposition party, a United States Senator would not have the privilege or the ability to disappear without a responsible explanation. The worst thing is, nearly everyone thinks it’s ok. “OK” is how we got here, with everything.

The 3 1/2 miles that connect our law school with Louisville’s courthouse keeps shrinking. This Program will bring select students even closer to those courts and trials and litigation all over the country. And - check out these mentors. #AllStars

I’ll stay in the US until I die to fight for it. I’m not afraid of Fascists, or MAGATs, or their private police, or their cowardly politicians and oligarchs. But are we going to have to resist from secure sites in Canada just so we can eat food? #FDA #RFK #recalls

There’s a special place in Hell for GOP legislatures esPECIally in Appalachia who kneecapped everything she wanted to do and all of the people for whom she cared who now performatively “mourn her death and praise her works”. At least there’s a zero chance they’ll run into her in their afterlives.

There’s enough money. There is enough food. There is enough room. But instead the most powerful people in the world choose to slaughter and starve children.

Doughnut hamburgers and livestock shows are great and all but have you ever tried living in a city that is complicit in unlawful abductions of innocent people? THAT’S the American Experience man. #armellebondonga

The City of Louisville is fully on board with #ICE now. It’s a slippery slope with dead bodies, suffering families, and broken promises at the bottom.

“Marc” my legal mentor said on the speakerphone “grab yer Yella Pad and a pen and come on down. We’ve got work to do”. One of our greatest trial lawyers Frank Haddad, Jr. awaited me in his office. It was 1982. 44 years on these Yella Pads await our 1Ls for their first class on Monday morning.

My guy Louie The Cardinal and I were discussing my other Louie - Brandeis- and agreed that the new 1Ls are already looking pretty good. L’s Up people - class begins at 8:30am on Monday. If you’re 5 minutes early you’re late. See you there.

It’s one thing for the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of mankind to not make progress. It’s another thing when it regresses. The once greatest nation on earth that could do anything it chose to do . . . is still doing what it chooses to without regard to its people or the planet.

Class of 2026 if you see this you’re scrolling and I’m glad. You’ve studied enough. You’re ready, enough. Next, put the phone down and take a walk. Take a walk after dinner, too. Think about the big picture. Rest, sleep, get there early. I’ll see you on the other side. Brandeis School of Law

National Democrats hide behind so-called rules that don’t exist. Republicans ignore actual laws and write new ones that subvert the Constitution itself. Democrats have brought Roberts Rules of Order to a gunfight for years and it’s a predictable massacre. My latest for the Courier Journal.

Criminal law professor and career prosecutor and defense attorney here. ICE is committing murder in your name. And, if you support this Administration, the blood is on your hands, too. France should take their statute back.

“Teen takeovers” are a problem in cities around the country. They confound authorities because their causes are complex and solutions layered. Louisville: “Nah. Let’s just close all the bars and restaurants on Bardstown Road”.

It’s inexcusable but utterly in character that National Democratic leadership isn’t requiring an answer to Mitch McConnell’s status on the nation’s behalf. Even in a coma he’s better at this than them. He wins. They lose. We lose. As it’s always been.

Until the world’s most powerful corrupt President called the president of the world’s most corrupt sporting organization for a favor the joy from this World Cup summer had allowed us and the world to forget, for a moment, the awful old men who run the world.
