The govt jst invested $1b 2 replace aging Indian Health Services facilities tht have been on a list since 1993. It marks the single largest investment by any admin in updating IHS facilities, but also calls attn. To just how underfunded IHS has been.

A.C. Locklear, CEO of the nonprofit National Indian Health Board, said the $1 billion is the single largest financial investment by any administration in addressing the aging facilities

I had a wonderful time discussing my work-in-progress (The Indian Child: Somebody's Property, A Nation's Citizen) at the AIL Workshop at Michigan Law today. Engaging this topic with emerging Indian law attorneys and scholars gave me a great deal to think about!

Something about high impact litigation: never trust ANYONE’S take on an opinion within minutes of a federal court dropping it. Those opinions can be hundreds of pages long & the case experts have yet to dissect it. People are rushing to deliver a scoop without barely having the facts.

People really need to check the opinion for statements like "we are not saying anything about other statutory tariff authorities" before writing that the Court delivered a blow to the administration; if you don't, you are just doing PR for the Court.

Thankful that I was able to connect with @jillwieberlens.bsky.social during her visit to Seton Hall Law! Very engaging presentation (and book) on stillbirth and the law.

It was an honor to have @jillwieberlens.bsky.social present her book Stillbirth & the Law (@ucpress.bsky.social) at the Seton Hall Law faculty colloquium today! Great discussion on reproductive justice and the criminalization of pregnancy and stillbirth. Book here: www.ucpress.edu/books/stillb...

The table of content for the book Regulating the Body Autonomy, Control, and the Broken Promise of Equality in American Law Edited by Austin Sarat and Susanna Lee .Abstract: Wearing face masks has been an important strategy to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Yet this practice has also been highly politicized since the beginning of the pandemic. In this chapter, I explore how shaming tactics—the stigmatization and public disgrace of the norm violator—have been used to regulate masking. This strategy highlights how mask policies in the U.S. have depended on private enforcement throughout all stages of the pandemic; that is, enforcement by laypeople rather than public entities. I trace this phenomenon through early, top-down mask mandates, to the present moment, after universal mask mandates have been lifted, and masking has shifted to become an individualized disability accommodation. While paying close attention to how norms about mask wearing intersect with gender and race, I highlight dichotomous approaches to private, ideologically-driven, enforcement of public health policy: as the Right has doubled down on shaming people for wearing masks, people in the disability community have reacted by enforcing mask wearing in public spaces and holding people who they see as members of the in-group (activists and allies) accountable. This chapter thus contributes to the legal debate on shaming as a law enforcement tactic, as well as to the understanding of how disability law plays out in everyday life.
