If you’re looking for a holiday weekend listen, start here. In Episode 2 of "Lawyering Without Law," @lessig.bsky.social asks whether AI could radically improve law by lowering its cost and reshaping how legal services are delivered. Listen to the full episode: www.buzzsprout.com/2609059/epis...

⬇️ TRAILER: We're excited to launch a brand new weekly podcast next Friday 5/16 – “The Bully’s Pulpit: Trump v. The First Amendment.” This series will follow the Trump administration’s assault on freedoms of speech and the press and feature the people, communities, and institutions fighting back.

Government pressure on broadcasters raises serious First Amendment concerns. @jameeljaffer.bsky.social joined @karaswisher.bsky.social on @onwithkaraswisher.bsky.social to discuss FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s recent threats against broadcasters and how regulatory threats can chill speech.

So what happened to DOJ lawyers? @debpearlstein.bsky.social argues that they were long perceived as being at the top of the profession. But when partisanship started paying off, it created an incentive loop that helps explain where we are now.

Independent researchers help the public understand how social media platforms, AI, and other technologies shape everyday life. Following yesterday’s hearing in CITR v. Rubio, @thecoalition.bsky.social's @geurkink.bsky.social spoke about what’s at stake when that work gets silenced.

“We’re very far into autocratic capture of our legal system.” That’s how @kimlanelaw.bsky.social describes the current moment—and what she breaks down in the first episode of Lawyering Without Law. Hosted by @katygb.bsky.social and Madhav Khosla. Listen: buzzsprout.com/2609059/episodes/19105365

🚨TOMORROW: We’re launching our new podcast series, “The Bully’s Pulpit: Trump v. The First Amendment.” Learn more in this preview from our host @cristianfarias.com and subscribe wherever you get podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

New from the Knight First Amendment Institute: “Lawyering Without Law,” a podcast launching May 1. Hosted by @katygb.bsky.social and Madhav Khosla, it examines the role lawyers play in defending democracy or facilitating its decline. More: knightcolumbia.org/content/lawy...

We tend to think of corruption as bribery. @lessig.bsky.social says that’s “actually the least significant kind.” Episode 2 of "Lawyering Without Law" drops on Friday. Lessig joins us to discuss institutional corruption and how economic influence pulls Congress away from its representative purpose.

🗯️ Can #middleware save social media? Join @noupside.bsky.social, @nadinefj.bsky.social, @lehogg.bsky.social, @daphnek.bsky.social, @ryanheadedsouth.bsky.social, @rreisman.bsky.social, @oliviersylvain.bsky.social, @ethanz.bsky.social, @ramyakrishnan.bsky.social to discuss. RSVP: bit.ly/3P3Uf6M

Trump/DOJ secret "release of claims:" Waives all claims against Trump by the US. Trump, family & businesses cannot be investigated, audited or sued by US government including all US agencies FOREVER, even after he leaves office. It forfeits our rights, money & democracy.

As MAGA, I can honestly say I LOVE Dems. I hate their current policies and what they desire for America, but I don't hate them or wish ill on them. I miss the Dems as they used to be. I didn't leave them, they left me. It's why I support Trump. He wants what Dems USED to want when I was young.
