    Read this. Then remember that Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch once ruled in favor of a company that fired one of its truck drivers for walking away from his cab, when staying would have meant freezing to death. And then you'll understand the appeal of Warren, Sanders, et. al.

    Pre-2010, 50g of crack-cocaine got you a mandatory minimum 10 years in prison. Post-2010, that threshold was raised to 280g, which resulted in this .... uhhh suspicious drug seizure graph. h/t

    pre 2010, pretty reasonable power law graph
    post 2010, pretty reasonable power law graph, except for a huge spike right at the 280g threshold

    I've debated whether to share what happened the night I went back to Dulles Airport to help two travelers arriving from Iran who were detained for nearly 7 hours. Retaliation is certainly something I've considered as an immigration lawyer, but these days it just seems so real.

    After listening to the President’s lawyers opening arguments, I have three observations: They don’t contest the facts of Trump’s scheme. They’re trying to deflect, distract from, and distort the truth. And they are continuing to cover it up by blocking documents and witnesses.

    Let’s imagine it wasn’t Joe Biden. Let’s imagine it was any one of us. Let’s imagine the most powerful man in the world was asking a foreign nation to conduct a sham investigation of us. What would we think about it then? Because next time, it might be.

    "Contrary to Kanye West’s bizarre notion that slavery was ‘a choice,’ blacks frequently fought their enslavement with whatever means were available to them, and theorized openly about the salutary nature of political violence."

    SO sick of saying that e-learning is required to make kids employable. I teach courses that require students to use online learning platforms/computer programs EVERY day as PART of the course. Here’s the truth. E-learning is CHEAPER for gov’t. It’s NOT better education.

    Consider just one piece of data: CEO pay. Do we really thing CEOs have gotten hugely better since the 1960s, while workers haven't? 2/

    Listening to NPR this morning, where they described it as a “wide-ranging” speech and mentioned specific topics like Iran and impeachment but carefully omit the insane stuff. This is one way the media strives to present Trump as a normal President.

    This tweet threatens to break several laws. First, the President cannot notify Congress under the War Powers Resolution by tweet. 1/

    In December 1983, The Times asked Samuel Beckett for his New Year's resolutions and hopes. Beckett responded with a brief telegram: ”RESOLUTIONS COLON ZERO STOP PERIOD HOPES COLON ZERO STOP BECKETT”.

    The most depressing part of LITTLE WOMEN (1869) is not when Beth dies but when Jo's short story wins a prize of $100, reminding any fellow writers reading the book that freelance rates have remained roughly stable SINCE THE RECONSTRUCTION ERA

    The moral of a Christmas Carol is that it takes extreme supernatural intervention to get the rich to be generous so it’d probably just be easier to tax them
