When Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.

Title: Deceptive design. A graphic meant to look like a color-blindness test obscures the number of”550” Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons on their apps. As a result, delivery workers saw reduced income of almost $550 million The tipping point. A graphic meant to look like a color-blindness test highlights the number of”104” In January, we required billion dollar tech companies to make the tip feature visible. Since then, $104 million dollars have gone back into the pockets of workers who keep this city fed.

This paper shows that immigration enforcement can _increase_ crime. Undocumented immigrants already have the lowest crime rate, but tough-on-immigration policy makes immigrants less likely to report crime. So immigration enforcement worsens the problem it was ostensibly meant to solve

Community Engagement and Public Safety: Evidence from Crime Enforcement Targeting Immigrantst By FELIPE GONÇALVES, ELISA JÁCOME, AND EMILY WEISBURST* We study the role of victim reporting in the production of public safety. We examine the Secure Communities program, a crime-reduction policy that involved police in detecting unauthorized immigrants and increased deportation fears in immigrant communities. We find that the policy reduced the likelihood that Hispanic victims report crimes to police and increased offending against Hispanics. The number of reported crimes is unchanged, masking these opposing effects. We show that reduced reporting drives the offending increase and provide the first elasticity of offending to victim reporting in the liter-ature, calculating that a 10 percent decline in reporting increases offending by 7.9 percent.

Prisciliano Trejo Ricano came to the U.S. at 3yrs old. ICE took him this June. He was 29. He told his family he didn't feel right but ICE wouldn't give him medical attention. After a month, ICE finally moved him to a hospital Prisciliano died five days later enlacelatinonc.org/en/Young-Mex...

CBS News ran a claim that "thousands of 9/11 victims' families" want Mamdani banned. The petition organizer told a journalist she has no actual list and the 300 figure was just an estimate. CBS News has since corrected its coverage

In my latest, I talk with @silkys13.bsky.social about the struggle against ICE. How are the government’s tactics shifting, and how must we respond? We also discuss the tremendous victory of fighting off the warehouse model for the regime’s concentration camps, and where the fight goes from here.

While I wait for @ssrn.bsky.social to put this back up happy to send you a draft of Debating Accommodations, which addresses extra time, malingering, the (bad) ADHD studies, and most importantly, the applicable law. Which as law profs we need to be talking about every time we have this convo.

I often joke that elitism is the one hierarchy LPE is not interested in challenging. It's a real problem. That said, I think there is an ironic unfairness to this critique: LPE is much bigger than the elite schools, & we should not let the elites represent the movement as a whole

LPE Blog@lpeblog.bsky.social · last wk.

Today, @nhold.bsky.social explains why calls for mandatory retirement are mistaken, and what this mistake indicates about the character of elite academic circles, including the law and political economy movement.
