Judge Blocks State from Enforcing Abortion Ban Against Religious Objectors A judge has handed down a ruling that prevents Indiana from enforcing its near-total abortion ban against women who say the procedure is a requirement of their religious faith.

A narrow but important win in Indiana. Cracks in abortion bans start small, then they grow.

I’m frankly a bit surprised Trump fired Noem. It shows weakness and reminds people that accountability is possible.

THIS!

The perks of this job ain't that great OTHER than the ability to do this -- read, think, write, think some more, write some more. All on topics of your own choosing.

Otherwise, there are lots of other jobs out there that don't come with academic committee work.

I am far from junior and have had no bites on a coauthored piece with another not junior prof. We submitted mid-February, which might be part of the issue with the shift to mass February 1 submissions. But still - it's one of my favorite pieces I've done!

If you feel the need to write articles using AI, please find another job. Your students and colleagues deserve a lot better.

Gov. Shapiro continues to perform well with Pa. voters ahead of reelection bid: F&M poll Pennsylvanians are worried about the direction the state is headed, but that’s not dragging down Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro’s approval ratings as he campaigns for reelection, according to the result...

Shapiro is going to win PA this November by 15% or more, maybe even 20%. And that -- along with his three other statewide wins in PA -- is going to be his main campaign argument in 2028.

And, to be frank, it's a quite convincing argument.

I mean, I think they do. But who the hell am I? Just some rando lawyer teacher type. Not a US Senator or Secretary of Defense or President.

Five Republicans just voted with Democrats to subpoena AG Bondi over Epstein files.

She will now need to sit for a deposition under oath.

Trump is losing his grip on his party, over both Epstein and his deepening unpopularity.

Keep speaking up. It's working.

The β€œshield” is intolerable here as well.

β€œParents tried to shield their children from water. Instead they died of dehydration.”

That’s what the @nytimes.com headline here says. Both β€œshield” and β€œinstead” appallingly reinforce anti-vax attitudes and frames.

I want an app that blocks from my screen anything written by AI.

If we can create this almost-all-powerful copyright-infringing hallucinating human-thinking machine, we can create this too, right?!?!

When I started law school, I thought there was a predefined list of motions you could file. But then realized that you could write literally anything after "Motion to" and call it your motion.

And if you didn't believe me before, now you do.
