Wow this is a hell of a phrase from a very good paper on the birthright advantage that creates collegiate nepo-babies (so-called legacy preference) and advantages the wealthy. The full paper is here: https://lnkd.in/esCQnJ-X There is a bipartisan bill introduced to ban the practice, called the MERIT Act (sigh.. acronyms) https://lnkd.in/einXZBf4

At 9 a.m. Pacific, I join the historic Consolidated Board of Realtists on Juneteenth with highlights from my trilogy on the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments including We Fought, We Vote: 150th anniversary of the 15th Amendment. The holiday must advance the most successful period of national unity in American history -- three Constitutional amendments in five years--as a result of the political organization and skill of African-Americans.

Philanthropic Services & Operations Manager at RSF Social Finance; Board Member at United Nations Association, San Francisco Chapter; Field Hockey Coach
I appreciate this excerpt: “So all of my knowledge around finance came from the mentality of “it’s all about profit and if you manage to maximize profit, everything else takes care of itself.” In my time working with RSF I got a greater appreciation of a different way of thinking about how profit coexists with the mission.” Proud to work for an organization that is so mission-driven! #socialfinance #impactinvesting #missiondriven

My Family Law Professor is an inspiration.
The Hon. Rosemarie Aquilina, Ingham County Circuit Court Judge, #CooleyLawSchool graduate, and adjunct Cooley professor, is known worldwide for her exceptional work presiding over disgraced former sports doctor Larry Nassar. But closer to home her reputation was already solid. For her, it was simply business as usual. https://hubs.ly/Q029C8mb0

PARCA is introducing a new series on the Alabama Constitution of 2022. In 2022, Alabama adopted a “new” constitution, an improved and reorganized version of the Alabama Constitution of 1901. But is the work finished? Is Alabama free from the shackles of the anti-democratic and pre-modern Constitution of 1901? Or are fundamental flaws still embedded in our Constitutional DNA?

Tonight, on Rappler, at 8 pm Manila time, I sit down with WR Numero president and CEO Cleve Arguelles to talk about his research firm's first Public Opinion Monitor, their innovative approach to polling, and their findings (some of which are, well, bombshells). Two examples: They compare public attitudes about the last seven presidents, and they probe public sentiment about five historical events (see Fig 18). Last December, some 70% of adult Filipinos viewed the dictator Ferdinand Marcos positively; 57% approved of the Martial Law era, 45% of Edsa. This is from the same poll that found that 70% of adult Filipinos support the Marcos Jr administration, 36% would vote for Sara Duterte as president in 2028, 60% would support Erwin Tulfo for the Senate. Is this (yet more) proof that as a nation we are turning away from the Edsa narrative? Tonight, at 8.
