After a necessary hiatus from here, I am back with some news: I'm honored to be the Harold Heimbaugh Professor of Law at USC Gould Law School & I just posted my latest article, A Tale of Two Me Toos a critical postmortem of the #MeToo movement (thread).

Well, it's a trolls and tech bro world, and we gotta live in it. I'm glad some see a left silver-lining of somehow sending a message on Gaza. But let's face it - that didn't make the difference.

I pray strategists know what they're doing b/c her love affair with neocons is maddening. Still, she MUST win. I get the left instinct to burn it down, but want my kid to live in a democracy. As Harris Courts Republicans, the Left Grows Wary and Alienated

The vice president’s tack to the right, support for Israel in the Gaza war and incremental policy proposals have alienated progressives and raised worries about waning liberal energy.

Soooo . It's not genocide when a state engages in a campaign to kill, starve, and displace and ethnic population, and it's not terrorism when a state indiscriminately kills civilians for political gain. Because the state is a US ally. Got it.

Many of these programs have the full support of police, who are relieved to not have to act as social workers or counselors, which they aren’t trained to be.

And a friendly reminder that white supremacists have been declaring who counts as Black (one drop) since the dawn of white supremacy.

Bi-racial people are VERY familiar with the practice of white people--even some well meaning liberals-- declaring which race you are to fit their agenda. #WeirdAF.

A suggestion to make all of our lives less stressful: We don't have to hand-wring about whom we should vote for when we already know whom we must vote against. This is an ouster election. Vote to oust Trump from national politics. It's that simple.

Here's the thing about court pleadings -- you can put the most outrageous, ridiculous, malicious, and vile claims in them, and no one can sue you for defamation.
