Fam, I’m so proud of this one: the first comprehensive empirical study of disability in law school. Did you know 20% of law students have disabilities? And while they outperform their peers on engagement, they need more institutional support. Learn about their backgrounds, behaviors & experiences👇

If this doesn't make you smile and laugh (and maybe even tear up a bit), well, not sure why we're connected online at all.

“Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a savior. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection. Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead.”
“History shows us that the right to literacy came at a heavy cost…those oppressed recognized that literacy is liberation. To my students & to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write & think when others once risked their lives & died for the freedom to do so”

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.
The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.
Hope that clears things up.

Charlotte-Mecklebburg Schools, according to reports, saw 15% of its students absent today amid Border Patrol operations in Charlotte. If that percentage of 15% happens Tuesday in Wake County due to the Border Patrol coming to Raleigh, 24.000 students could be absent from school. #nced #ncpol #wcpss

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

Extremely messed up, racist, and will destroy science as we know it. This would literally destroy the careers of most US-born researchers I know, in addition to all the foreign-born scientists. Every paper Ive been on has had coauthors from prohibited countries and I have learned so much from them.
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

The Law School Survey of Student Engagement released its 2025 report, Disability in Law School. Among many helpful findings: 1/5 students report having a disability. This serves as an important counter to what NALP has found (1-2% in offices/firms). Well done, @meeradeo.bsky.social!
