Sending gratitude today to

for the race she ran. She was an amazing contracts professor when I was a 1L law student and an amazing mentor as a young faculty member in need of just her trademark brand of "tough love." And an amazing U.S. Senator for MA. Thank you, ew!

"We have a divided nation." Sadly true, but the way forward is to lead w/ empathy, tolerance, love; speak out vs. misogyny, racism, hate.

Very powerful to hear passionate, eloquent voices of high school students today calling for gun control & other steps to reduce school violence. Lawmakers need to listen too and then act to protect kids and adults when they go to school (and all in our country). It is past time.

Can't shake the idea tonight that, for all our talk & work on diversity/equity/inclusion, our "viable" major party candidates for US President in 2020 are straight white men in their 70s. (Yes, with important differences of view.) (Yes, says the straight white man in his 40s.)

PA students: swing by Phelps House afternoon this afternoon, Sunday, from 4 pm to 5 pm for a DEVICE-FREE study break. Toss a football or a frisbee and engage in other wholesome games that do not involve digital technologies! Also, cider & snacks. See you then.
