This makes me so very happy. Both the vehicle and its maker are real POS’s. Good riddance to both.

Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · last mo.New from 404 Media: Madison Square Garden made a dossier on activists who have opposed the venue's facial recognition program. MSG scans faces of people so some can be arbitrarily denied entry. Dossier includes specific activists, their contact info, tweets, etc www.404media.co/madison-squa...
MSG is right to fear the organizing power of the great @evangreer.bsky.social, but at some point Knicks and Rangers fans are really going to have to come to terms with the fact that their teams' home is run by an absolute creep obsessed with surveillance.

Thanks to @jeannefromer.bsky.social and @marklemley.bsky.social for working with my awesome @juelsgaardclinic.bsky.social students and me to try to solve the recent law school recruiting "race to the bottom" that harms law students, law firms, and law schools alike. It's time for reform.
State Supreme Courts Can Resolve Early Legal Recruiting Mess
Opinion: Imposing a uniform "hold open" date for job offers to law students would likely put much-needed brakes on accelerated recruiting.

Jeanne Fromer@jeannefromer.bsky.social · last mo.Thanks to @prmalone.bsky.social and his excellent clinic and students for their magnificent work on this issue with us!
Great collaboration with @marklemley.bsky.social and one of my terrific @juelsgaardclinic.bsky.social clinic students to protect innovation and startups.
Mark Lemley@marklemley.bsky.social · 2mo agoWith the help of Phil Malone and the students at JIPIC, I filed a brief in the Supreme Court today on behalf of 35 law professors urging them to take up the question of PTO Director Squires' efforts to effectively abolish IPRs www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...
A big win in the 10th Circuit for documentary filmmakers and fair use. And our amicus brief, led by @prmalone.bsky.social played a major role in persuading the court to reverse a bad decision two years ago. Also great to see citations to the new Restatement www.ca10.uscourts.gov/sites/ca10/f...

Great outcome in a case where our clinic submitted two amicus briefs on behalf of IP professors. Huge thanks to @marklemley.bsky.social, @markpmckenna.bsky.social, @rtushnet.bsky.social, and Stacey Dogan for the collaboration in making it happen.

Full-time law professor friends, please consider signing on to our latest amicus brief, this one in the DC Circuit, opposing the abusive Trump Executive Orders targeting law firms. Email or DM me if you want to see the draft brief.
Mark Lemley@marklemley.bsky.social · 4mo ago@prmalone.bsky.social and I (plus others at Stanford) have prepared a law professors amicus brief supporting law firms challenging Trump's Executive Orders targeting them. If you are a full-time law professor and would like to see the brief, please email me or DM me and I will send a copy.
Slightly inconvenient truth. One critical fact about which Trump & Rubio & Hegseth don’t have a clue is that conflicts don’t happen in a moment or a snapshot. They usually have long complex histories & repercussions that also last for decades. This instant gratification crowd doesn’t have a clue. 😡
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 5mo agoI wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.
There you have it. JD Vance’s 2023 blind fantasy in the WSJ about Trump and peace, just below today’s WSJ’s “Breaking News” alert about Trump’s newest war of choice. You can’t make this stuff up.
For the ten-thousandth time, every accusation is a confession.

southpaw@nycsouthpaw.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe last time Gabbard mentioned the nation of Venezuela was in early 2019. It’s a big mystery why she’s apparently out of the loop.
Ahahahaha. What ridiculous and utterly ineffectual fools Schumer and Jeffries are. "This is unacceptable. We demand a briefing." Well, that will show them. Disgusting. #SchumerMustGO
Max Berger@maxberger.bsky.social · 7mo agoChuck Schumer: The Trump administration lied to me in three separate briefings about their plans for Venezuela. The Democrats: WE DEMAND A FOURTH BRIEFING IMMEDIATELY.
What a complete, worthless POS. So much NOT a leader.
Miranda Yaver@mirandayaver.bsky.social · 7mo agoI don’t know what moment Chuck Schumer is made for, but it sure as shit isn’t this one.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?
Aaaaaand . . . for anyone who had any doubt about whether Bezos’s destruction of the integrity and credibility of the WaPo . . You happy now? Unbelievable. 😡
