In 1999, a Harvard law professor saw that the internet could be built to control us. He said it in three words: "Code is law." @lessig meant that whoever writes the code writes the rules for speech, for privacy, for how we live online. A generation later, it's the operating principle of the entire internet. The brightest minds don't just answer questions. They saw them coming. Now you can ask Lawrence yours. Link below.

Looking forward to a (virtual) conversation with #CreativeCommons co-founders Hal Abelson and Molly Van Houweling, moderated by the great Glenn Brown, June 23, 1pm ET. Join if you can: bit.ly/3QBZiwa

@lessig joined @TheFIREorg last week to talk about why First Amendment originalism is compatible with Maine's 2024 ballot initiative to curb dark money.

Watch @lessig and @TimothyDSnyder talk about how Robert Menendez's 2015 SuperPAC scandal exposed the flaw in SpeechNow v. FEC's logic.

This one hits hard.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

Today, the Stanford @DigEconLab launches the AI Economic Indicators, a new platform for tracking how AI is reshaping work, productivity, adoption, and the economy. 1/6

Trump said something outside a press gaggle that I don’t think enough people caught. A reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses. 1. I have the right to do it. 2. He’s not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump. 3. People don’t care. That’s the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what they’re using to justify everything happening in Washington right now. Please stand up and prove him wrong.

I’m grateful to have the support of @cenkuygur in this fight to get money out of politics and end the corruption in Washington. If you’re with us, go to kaiforaz.com and sign up to volunteer or contribute to my campaign. #endcorruption

Republican-appointed judge: “The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the United States government to comply with court orders.”

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%. Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter. wapo.st/3S2PCeA
