Really honored that my oped on mask bans made it to @TeenVogue’s best opinion pieces of 2024 teenvogue.com/story/best-opi…
Many of us don’t realize how closely our prescriptions are monitored by healthcare providers and law enforcement. I wrote about it for the @nytimes: nytimes.com/2024/10/28/opi…
YOUR KNICKS ARE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS BOUND
It was great seeing you!
Thank you @NYLawSchool faculty for engaging w/ my new work in progress, Divided Loyalties: Defense Counsel’s Self-Interests & the Accused, which examines the 6A right to conflict-free counsel 🙏🏾 Such a treat to catch up w/ @labelleverite, Andrea Johnson, & David Simson.

My gawd, my gawd. 😢💔 "The great-grandfather and Mitchell family patriarch was an amputee who used a wheelchair. His son Justin Mitchell had cerebral palsy and needed help to get out of bed. They couldn’t escape on their own" latimes.com/california/sto…
This @MSGNetworks/@optimum feud is ridiculous. I just want to watch my @nyknicks. This isn’t right. And don’t tell me there are other ways to watch them bc none of them are free. We shouldn’t have to pay for yet another subscription when we’re already paying for cable.
Big new article alert: @pennlaw Prof. @Jeharrislaw on "The Political Economy of Conservatorship," in @UCLALawReview: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf….
The number of visible and audible @nyknicks fans at all these road games just shows how everyone is getting/has gotten priced out of NY 🥹😩 #KnicksTape #RealNYersWearOrangeandBlue #TheyGoneNow
One of the articles I'm most proud of is now out in the world as the lead article in the latest volume of @MinnesotaLawRev thanks to its wonderful editors. Co-authoring it w/ Rell Carter fundamentally altered how I think about the production of knowledge. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
I want to send extra love to my HU family today. It feels especially egregious that the Bison babies were shown their country’s face & didn’t get to have their moment. Yet , ironically, there is no place I wish I were more right now than at home—at Howard. We press on.
This is the epitome of the Black Woman’s experience in America.
