"Court-packing would create a slippery slope to the destruction of judicial review...To the extent Callais is a problem, it can be better addressed by steps such as banning gerrymandering. There are also better remedies for various other shortcomings of the Court," writes @ilyasomin.bsky.social.
Why Callais Doesn’t Justify Court-Packing
To the extent Callais is a problem, it can be better addressed by steps such as banning gerrymandering.

in their forthcoming book, @nikobowie.bsky.social and Daphna Renan make a very persuasive case that Lost Cause-ism was a powerful influence on Taft’s views of judicial and executive power. It was important, IOW, to push back on the radical Reconstruction congresses.
OMFG. I cannot begin to describe my gasp at how Roberts & co decided to go all in on LOST CAUSE theory & insist that the Reconstruction Congress did Confederate sympathizer President Andrew Johnson wrong by attempting to keep him from destroying Reconstruction

Daphna wouldn’t be in the US if not for NIH and I wouldn’t be at NIH if not for Daphna ❤️ grateful to read her words during this difficult time.
Gut wrenching essay about trainees by Daphna Shohamy (Director of Columbia's Zuckerman Neuroscience Institute).

Undermining the future of American science is not a path to accountability — it’s a path to decline.

By gutting the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court is killing the Second Reconstruction. The first Reconstruction shows how Congress should respond.

Wow are they fortunate to have Daphna Shohamy at the helm - selecting her was a wise move (and I do hope they appreciate her for it).

Mevrouw Daphna Kuhr, geadoreerd door Wierd Duk, verspreidt flagrante leugens over honger in Gaza.
Volgens officiële bronnen leden 640.000 mensen waaronder veel kinderen tegen eind september 2025 in Gaza honger . Dat is grofweg ¼–⅓ van de bevolking.

After years of research, Daphna Renan & I are thrilled to announce preorders of SUPREMACY. Why is US democracy so broken? One reason is we've wrongly accepted that 9 justices have the final say over the Constitution. This book traces how that happened—& how we can reclaim power to govern ourselves.

If you read 1 thing today, let it be Niko Bowie & Daphna Renan's op-ed on the people & their representatives asserting control over the Constitution, rather than ceding it to SCOTUS.

Excited to have Taylor's work with me and Daphna Shohamy out in Open Mind now: even at the end of an event, it's not too late to prioritize it for long-term memory!
Sometimes we know an experience is important in the moment. Other times, its importance only becomes clear after the fact. Do these two cases have different consequences for memory? In our new paper we found that both kinds of prioritization impact memory in different ways! doi.org/10.1162/OPMI...
Prioritizing Detailed Item Memories Through Post-Encoding Motivation Requires Consolidation
Abstract. Prioritizing memories that are motivationally salient is adaptive for goal-directed behavior, ensuring that information being retained is the most relevant to future goals. Past research dem...

It is officially TWO WHOLE YEARS since Sex Self-ID became available in Aotearoa New Zealand!
And not a single person has been harmed, bothered, or inconvenienced by it.
TERFs are all big fat losers and liars.

Sooner or later, European sanctions will be imposed. The only question is how many more would be killed and injured.
