Mohsen Mahdawi was just released on bail by a federal judge in Vermont.

I break down Monday's EO that signals the Trump admin's plans to deploy federal and Nat'l Guard troops to quell public protests - violating the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, and what we might do to head this off. youtu.be/x7jInSCJrwM

The federal judge released Mohsen Mahdawi today. I explain the ruling, what it means, how it relates to the immigration case, and the other students' cases. The 29 page decision is available here: drive.proton.me/urls/S14H3MQ8D… youtu.be/57YHLBZH7fE

At Columbia University the call has been coming from inside the house & the callers are working closely w/ the Trump Admin: they're the authors of a "report" released today, and their WhatsApp texts show their disdain for Columbia's Senate, faculty, and students. youtu.be/xzZzkaVdM4g

Best wishes for you Chris in your new (old) home at NYU. The NYU students are so lucky to have you and your clinic at NYU Law.

Today's installment of: "Can he do that?" Can Trump pull Harvard's non-profit status? Spoiler alert: no. I explain. youtu.be/KVWf7fdOJd4

What if the Columbia University students' occupation of Butler Library yesterday was leaked to the Columbia administration? We need to be thinking 2, 3, 4 steps ahead with our organizing in these times. youtu.be/Yk5U-PCKAlg

Why is Mahmoud Khalil still in ICE detention when other students have been released by federal court judges? I offer some thoughts. youtu.be/gO6Gz8ivU30

Another student released from ICE detention by a federal judge: Badar Khan Suri!! With this winning streak in gaining freedom for detained students, why isn't Mahmoud Khalil being released? youtu.be/IQVUfdpV804

Students are devoting graduation speeches to the genocide in Palestine. Logan Rozos the graduation speaker at NYU bravely did so yesterday. We need to stand behind these students who're bearing witness to the defining human rights atrocity of a generation. youtu.be/p3zHes8IeS8

Really great gaydar episode ft Zohran Kwame Mamdani just dropped

Student speakers at graduations across the country are compelled to bear witness to the genocide in Gaza. I join them in naming it as a genocide, and situate the annihilation of Palestinian life in Gaza in an historical context. youtu.be/UM7zLCf5GVw

Law School is in session: Can Trump suspend the writ of habeas corpus and eliminate the legal tool that has been successfully used to release students from ICE detention? I explain. youtu.be/5flVKgk_J-0

As I was saying … he can’t do that.

Reposting yesterday's 'splainer on what "the writ of habeas corpus" is, for the benefit of Sec. Kristi Noem, who testified in the Senate today that it was "a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country" youtu.be/5flVKgk_J-0

The "One Big Beautiful Bill" - the Repub Budget Bill - has a provision tucked into it on p. 562 that renders current fed'l court orders against the Trump Admin unenforceable. This renders the administration immune from legal accountability. I explain. youtu.be/aFntw5ZuLhQ

New SCOTUS decision allowing a school to ban a student from wearing a trans-phobic t-shirt. Alito and Thomas dissented, arguing that banning this t-shirt violated the student’s free speech rights. I explain, and connect the case to Brown v. Board of Ed. youtu.be/3CwaHjc7yiw

Cuomo is running for Mayor while aggressively using the law to retaliate against women who accused him of sexual harassment. Columbia University has done the same - uses the law to retaliate against whistleblowers. They're using the same lawyer, Theresa Trzaskoma. youtu.be/nnI506Fv58I
