9/11 ANOTHER WORLD WAS POSSIBLE We could have responded by putting the terrorists on trial—as the overwhelming majority of our NATO allies’ population (and the rest of the world) wanted. Instead, we responded with war—just what the terrorists wanted. It made them warriors, not criminals.

Another friend and colleague recently succumbed to 9/11 related illness. My latest on the 25th anniversary of September 11: open.substack.com/pub/lincolns...

25 Years After 9/11, the Sacrifice Isn’t Over

More people have now died of 9/11-related illnesses than were lost on the day of the attacks. Protecting first responders remains a test of our national character.

I'm grateful our campus library digitized the student paper - so I don't have to misremember or sensationalize any 9/11 memories. I can see right here what students were thinking.. & know that I said we shouldn't demonize Muslims! (my 💾s show I also said bombing Afgh'stn would unleash bad news)

Everyone post your most insane 9/11 local freak out! Some people were thinking we might be a target because some highschool kids were interviewed about Bush choking on a pretzel so that made us a target

I woke up to September 11 in Los Angeles. The day itself, and the unfolding era, was terrifying and confusing. What did it mean, e.g., when everyone said it "changed everything"? So grateful to the luminaries who came together to ponder this question with me. www.dukeupress.edu/september-11...

OMG the CNN 9/11 documentary. On now. Not everyone will want to watch it. Not graphic but it's up close w firefighters. Visceral.

Take a break from doomscrolling and read this great article. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/s...

My brilliant @emorylaw.bsky.social colleague @andrewkjennings.com has created a portal for law profs to share their areas of expertise for CLEs and to help those seeking speakers to learn about you. Such a great idea. practicalscholarship.com

Can't get numb to this: it's frightening how Trump et al have normalized lawless behavior by govt officials. US govt cruelty to immigrants is not remotely new, but people like Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, moved the Overton window on accepting scandalous outrages. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/30/w...

Deportees Sent to Liberia Recount Harrowing Details of U.S. Expulsion and Treatment by ICE

Ten deportees said they experienced or witnessed what they called abusive or violent treatment by ICE. They spent months in detention, they said, before being sent to nations where they had no ties.

A federal judge in California ruled that the Trump administration violated the constitutional rights of international students when it sought to deport them for criticizing Israel’s war in Gaza.

Judge Rules Trump Unlawfully Targeted Stanford Students Who Criticized Israel

The ruling was a win for Stanford’s student newspaper, The Stanford Daily, and it followed another court victory for students targeted by the Trump administration last year.

This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.
