A 2-year old US Citizen was deported Friday to Honduras.
“The judge on Friday scheduled a hearing for May 16, which he said was ‘in the interest of dispelling our strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.’”

God I miss waking up and not needing to check the news for major political updates
ProPublica and @texastribune.org have identified nearly a dozen immigrants who have been flown to Guantanamo Bay. Government officials have refused to release the names of detainees or provide details about the crimes that landed them in detention.

I’m getting married in Edinburgh in less than two months and gosh I’m glad we picked our favorite city for our favorite day 💙
My credit card sent me a year in review and frankly, this should be illegal. I don’t need to know how much I spent on ice cream, thank you very much.
My absolute favorite part of my job as a lawyer is the ability to spoil people I love. College roommate has a baby registry? Time to pull out the credit card!!
If you inherently trusted Justin Baldoni when the ENTIRE CAST unfollowed him and the author of the book wouldn’t mention him, you might wanna do some soul searching 🙃
If the Depp-Heard fiasco didn't, the Blake Lively smear campaign should drive home an important media literacy lesson that I'm afraid many are missing: when it seems like everybody is suddenly talking about something, consider the possibility that the viral moment was engineered.
So one of the things that is repeatedly showing up in response to this post is people saying things like “but don’t you realize history is misogynist” and look, there was a lot of misogyny in history, but there is even more misogyny in viewing history as a simple and easy monolith.
My wedding venue in Scotland just posted that they have adopted two very fluffy cows, who will be available for petting at all future events. I am (rightly) about to be upstaged.
I’m a fourth year associate at a Big Law firm, and just also want to add - If your bosses aren’t taking any holidays (or respecting yours), it’s not going to get better. The difference between me and my friends who have left big law (often) is hugely dependent on our partners.
Optimist: the cup is half full
Pessimist: the cup is half empty
Regency romantic: the cup is half agony, half hope
It’s been almost five years since the pandemic slammed the borders shut between us. It is such a blessing to be here, together, in a home with both our names on the lease.
YESSS going tonight

In addition to the Air/Space Smithsonian, you can have a very nice day with the Library of Congress+Supreme Court+Folger Museum! Every hour or so they let you sit in the court room and hear about how it works too, which I loved as a politics kid.
This post brought you to my feed as recommended content and … yes, the algorithm is correct.
Does this include fiction writers?? That is most my following and it’s a delight.
I’ve been living in London for a little over a year and I have, through osmosis, finally forced my fiancé to have a definitive and unyielding opinion on who should win the Great British Bakeoff. Life is good.
Boss: Wow, you’re so comfortable training our GPT model. How did you learn that?
Me, working at a corporate law firm: Oh I spent a lot of time designing my Tumblr in high school.
…We all have many wolves inside us.
This is helpful, thank you for sharing 💙
I was working at the ECJ when this came out originally and the Italians LOVED it ❤️
All of my extremely picky musical friends have loved it so far! (I say as a medium picky musical friend.)
Excited about this year's #UNForumBHR? Have Qs on mandatory human rights due diligence? Want critical reflections & not just cheerleading?
The IEL Collective has you covered with. Tomorrow we cover the good, bad & ugly of these laws so you're prepped for next week! #BizHumanRights

This is genius.
“If Adam Picked the Apple” by Danielle Coffyn
Love this. Reminds me of “If Men Could Menstruate” by Gloria Steinem
I love this idea and I am adding Women, Money, Power by Josie Cox! This has been an infuriating, helpful read for thinking about the last election. #booksky #weeklyreadingrecs
It’s pretty fun watching you fight with the bear though (and while leaving Wild Robot yesterday, I pointed at the bear and told my fiancé the bear is a fraud because I’ve seen your fights)
