As we continue to condemn Hamas' horrific attack on Israel, @RepSchakowsky, @RepMarkPocan, @RepMcGovern & I led 55 members urging the US to ensure adherence to int'l humanitarian law, protection of innocent civilians in Gaza, & full humanitarian assistance. Read the letter below.
Save the date (2/23) for this important panel organized by @kswinth, "Reinserting Social Reproduction into the History of Capitalism." Featuring @NFolbre, @eileen_boris @pilargonalons, @ProfNaomi. Timely topic given current crises in public health, care work, and gender equity
I am interested to hear reactions and thoughts to my blog post on the potential and limits of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's advocacy strategy as Director of the ACLU Women's Rights Project.
Today Deborah Dinner situates RBG's version of feminism within the political economy of the family and the class- and race-stratified feminist movements of the 1970s

"For me, as much as any of her legal opinions, Ginsburg’s close friendship with the late Justice Antonin Scalia is core to her legacy," writes @rudoren forward.com/opinion/454790/e…
My brother has a new fantastic new blog, in the spirit of coming together to lend a hand. Posts range from Black wealth to art. Check out: markdinner.com/
Excellent interview with Deborah Berkowitz about OSHA's failure to enforce the law. Agency received 18,000 Covid complaints, and turned its back on 12,000. Many Say OSHA Not Protecting Workers During COVID-19 Pandemic npr.org/2020/07/04/887239204…
We do need to create systems that allow working mothers both to care for their children and to keep their jobs. Reopening schools & daycare centers does not seem a straightforward solution, though. We also need to safeguard the health of teachers and childcare workers. Models?
This piece by @ejdickson is beautiful and @StephanieCoontz's reference to a "crack in time" from the Benet poem took my breath away. Let's hope that this crack in time allows us to build a better system for working families.

This article shows one way the pandemic may prompt the reshaping of employment policies to better support families. I am not equally optimistic that trends for highly-paid workers will be universalized, though we should aim for that. nytimes.com/2020/06/21/opini…
This is interesting and significant work on the role of workers in corporate governance. @GeorgievLaw @EmoryLaw
Enjoyed presenting my work on the the Human Capital Management (#HCM) Movement in US Corporate Law at this year's (virtual) National Business Law Scholars Conference. Thx to the organizers, co-panelists & participants. Looking forward to a live conference next year!
In case you missed this earlier, as I did, read @ProfCatherine on the intersection of the "Color of Covid" and the "Gender of Covid." Black and Latina women disproportionately represented among both unemployed and"essential" workers in increasingly stratified workforce.
Thanks for posting this. It is very important for white professors to read.
I hope other students follow her lead. huffpost.com/entry/black-med…
Congratulations to my brilliant friend, Jana Lipman, on the publication of In Camps..."the first major work on Vietnamese refugee policy to pay close attention to host territories and to explore Vietnamese activism in the camps." ucpress.edu/book/97805203436…
Thanks @katie_eyer for the insightful analysis of Bostock and its implications for antidiscrimination efforts beyond employment. A couple further questions about #Bostock:
You are correct that the opinion shows that but-for causation is not insurmountable. Yet it still requires that the illegitimate criterion "made a difference" as you suggest. Do you think courts might require plaintiffs to quantify that difference to show but-for-causation?
Thank you to @lsepper and several other friends who clearly manage to multi-task much better than I do for letting me know, today. I just reported it. I think the handle might be down for now, but this is a reminder to be extra-careful about online security. teapawt.org/lsepper/status/1271151…
