Hey folks who follow me!

Similar caveat my list is not complete. Shameless plug, lots of #lawfedi folks to be found listed here: https://www.lawstodon.org
1/ "Welcome to #Mastodon" Thread from a #LawProf:
A warm welcome to legal academics & other folks interested in the law who may be (1) brand new to Mastodon, or (2) reengaging here after a hiatus.
I recently went through the #law related accounts I follow to identify those that are currently active (that is, they've posted in July).
Here's the resulting list of 75 accounts, in case it's helpful as you look to make connections here:

I'm seeing some folks dismissing this as a "hit piece" that misrepresents how #Mastodon federation affects the spread of #CSAM. But I don't agree: I think this is a serious problem for the #Fediverse, and that the author proposes outlines of some solutions that are worth considering.
When I was a 17yo kid on the prairie in school in a town w/o stoplights, I wrote a paper on war & was given the chance to go to D.C. Iβd never been on an airplane before.
We stood in the spot where Dr. King gave his Dream speech and took turns reading it out.
There is a direct & energized line between that day, the words of a great man, that glimpse of my own efficacy and the unjustness of oppression, and my path first gen through law school and into public service.
Itβs not just a day.
