There is definitely "no place like Nebraska": U. of Nebraska-Lincoln (@unlincoln.bsky.social) is recommending the elimination of my Dept. of Statistics along with 5 other departments and other cuts. These recommendations include laying off 50+ tenured faculty--no other university does this. 1/

Conspiracy Abolition Virginia Law Review, 2026 69 Pages Posted: 7 Aug 2024 Last revised: 26 Feb 2025 Evan D. Bernick Northern Illinois University - College of Law Date Written: July 24, 2024 Abstract Criminal conspiracy seems as American as apple pie. Every state criminalizes conspiracy, and there are dozens of federal conspiracy statutes. The crime of conspiracy is the darling of prosecutors across the political spectrum. It has been wielded against poor Black teens and White TV moguls; anti-carceral and anti-abortion activists; rap stars and a President. Conspiracy's hold on U.S. criminal systems is firm. This Article seeks to break that hold. The crime of conspiracy promotes surveillance of and violence against poor people of color. It is a menace to freedom of expression, the right of a criminal defendant to confront an adverse witness, and the rule of law. Its purported social benefits remain unsubstantiated; its social costs have been understated when they have not been outright ignored. And it can't be reformed. It should be abolished.

Chk out my new piece on the first time that CBS sacrificed satire and caved to pressure. It is a good reminder that they may be cancelling Colbert, but satire will adapt and thrive.

Stephen Colbert wasn’t CBS’s first satirical sacrifice
Caving to pressure from two presidents, the network fired the Smothers Brothers in 1969

Any judicial politics/courts scholar who does not operate from the assumption that SC justices are partisan actors is not fit to pump gas, much less write about the judiciary.

The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/
