@JewishWonk The people who have noted that it starts with bullying transgender people and then moves on have a point.

Given the terrible atrocities of last weekend, the message of this new documentary about our Charlottesville case is even more urgent. Extremism that is tolerated leads in only one direction -- loss of human life, breakdown of civilization & degradation of our common humanity.

Tonight, HBO premieres "No Accident," a documentary chronicling Robbie Kaplan and Karen Dunn's legal efforts against the neo-Nazis that marched on Charlottesville, Va. in the infamous "Unite the Right" rally in 2017:

I can't stop thinking that these stunning and tragic stanzas from Anna Akhmatova's most famous poem "Requiem" must be going through Iulia Navalnaya's mind ever since she learned that her husband Alexei Navalny had died. True bravery.

Threatening independent watchdogs that inform the public about wrongdoing is the kind of thing tyrants do. It's time for a legal guarantee of transparency, accountability, and responsibility for social media companies.

We @KaplanHecker are so proud of our report re gender equity in NCAA women’s basketball. But all we did was diagnose the problems and make some predictions, it took coaches like @dawnstaley , @LisaBluder , @CoachCoriClose & players like @GamecockWBB and @IowaWBB to make it happen.

For years, women have been unfairly blamed for women’s college basketball not becoming a bigger fixture in sports. Now that the game has delivered a generational star, blockbuster ratings and a dynasty in one tournament, will the gatekeepers finally stop standing in their way? My…

I first met @maura_healey when we worked together on challenging the constitutionality of the the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. She is the real deal and will be a great governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

It’s official: @Maura_Healey will be our next governor! We’ve elected a woman who fights to protect working families—a warrior who’s gone toe to toe with for-profit colleges and Big Oil—and it’s a great victory for the people of Massachusetts. Woo-hoo!

@TVietor08 This is spot on and consistent with widely-held views among psychologists today about how experiencing trauma impacts the brain, as we showed at the first Carroll v. Trump trial.

The NCAA announced the creation of the Women’s Basketball Invitational Tournament . . . a direct fulfillment of one of the recommendations highlighted in the Kaplan report, equalizing the number of postseason opportunities for men and women to 100 apiece.

@SarahKSilverman Their entire world view is premised on "replacement theory" -- the idea that Jews are the masterminds of/responsible for everything they believe is bad in today's world (such as civil rights).

@JuliaRothwax Read Nadezhda Mandelstam's Hope Against Hope. The reference to "stones" was a reference to her husband, Osip Mandelstam. He and Akhmatova were very close.
