@ok_bishh Absolutely. Exceptional.

Our ⁦@UofOklahomaLaw⁩ Oxford program had a great first week with an opening gala dinner at ⁦@TrinityOxford⁩ and a tour of legal London. So thrilled to be here with this amazing group of students and faculty!

@AmyEchos @sarvhgray It’s a great program! Dm if you have any questions!

@sarvhgray I hear good things about the ou mls program is good and we all know we need more Natives in law.

I am 🤏 this close to going to law school. Much like my comms and PR work, I anticipate most of my labor would be pro bono & have a media component. If you thought I’m a menace now, wait until all my friends in the fight can hit ya with the “you’ll be hearing from my lawyer.”

@tannerallread @UCLA_Law @NNLPC_UCLALaw Congratulations!!!! Amazing news for everyone involved!

Since it's website official now, I'm excited to announce that I'm a new @UCLA_Law Richard M. Milanovich Fellow in Law! For the next 2 years, I will be working with @NNLPC_UCLALaw while continuing to write Native law and legal history scholarship. law.ucla.edu/faculty/facult…

@liese_sarah Thank you for doing a story in this.

Before the Trail of Tears, Chickasaw people lived in what is now Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama and Tennessee. 200 years after their forced removal, the Chickasaw Nation is receiving vital pieces of their past: important artifacts and the remains of their loved ones.

@katie_hallum Congratulations!

Officially proud to say I get to work alongside the absolute best in Oklahoma news, and in a newsroom dedicated to changing the narrative around Native reporting. 💪

I’m so excited for Professor Carpenter to join us! Onward and upward!

@meganabakes Love this. Here for it all.

@lee_kovarsky Justice Gorsuch similarly emphasizes Indigenous history in his Federal Indian Law opinions as well.

@ProfRRothschild Looking forward to reading this!

Look at this! I’m so happy my colleague, roommate, and partner in crime, @ProfTracyPearl, is recognized for her amazing work!

@TaxLawProf As a woodworker and a law professor I’m TWICE offended.

Any law profs looking for a final exam hypo? I got you.

@evanbernick I think you've summarized much of Johnson v. McIntosh in two tweets. The narrative is deeply rooted indeed!

@evanbernick Should’ve listened. Stopped at the second sentence.

@ChrisOdinet @bethanyrberger @IowaLawSchool What a phenomenal hire for Iowa! @bethanyrberger is an amazing person and equally amazing scholar and teacher. Congratulations to all!

We are absolutely thrilled that @BethanyRBerger--a nationally-renowned expert in #propertylaw, American #IndianLaw, #legalhistory, & conflicts of law--will be joining us @IowaLawSchool: leiterlawschool.typepad.com

@AnthonyMKreis He’s so good. What a day for Indian Country. 7-2 is a strong statement.

Justice Gorsuch has a concurring opinion joined by Sotomayor or Jackson in the Indian Child Welfare Case, which at first blush, appears to be a remarkable treatise on the history of Tribal Sovereignty and the abusive treatment of native children in the United States.

@shershovitz But what about the best Indian Tacos? These are fighting words (but so is this whole thread and I love it) but Oklahoma wins easy. For those that aren’t familiar, consider this an open invite to all to come here and try them while also visiting the First Americans Museum.

Here's what you need to know about these rankings: The best pizza is near Yale. The best tacos are near UCLA. The best cheesesteaks are near Penn. And the best people are at Michigan. That's it, folks. That's how you choose.

@meeradeo @jdmortenson I felt this same way! After the first episode I wasn’t going to watch anymore. BUT. I was told to push through to episode 3 at least and it’ll be worth it. And it was. It was beautiful.

@jdmortenson I THOUGHT IT WAS ANOTHER FEEL GOOD SHOW THAT EVERYBODY LOVED. NOBODY TOLD ME 😭

Ok I watched the first episode of The Last of Us on the plane and my heart is still pounding. I have no idea how y’all could keep going with that after 3 yrs of a global pandemic! 😱 🦠 💀

Check out this article by @JimmyHooverDC about the incredibly troubling case of Richard Glossip who is scheduled to be executed by the State of Oklahoma on 5/18. As I note in the article, I've never seen anything like this. bit.ly/3HK3GBM

@meeradeo @ShawnProf Exactly.

@ShawnProf We don't. Most are *very* selective, picking 1-2 every year that work for 1) a partner/parents to watch the littles, or 2) their budget for a babysitter.
