The continued Alito-fication of the Supreme Court. Biden (kind of) cancelling (some) student debt. The first steps toward a green transition. This past year had a little bit of everything. And so it was at the blog. Today, we share a list of everything we published in 2022, ranging from the bleeding edge of antitrust to the creative militancy of the Young Lords. Later in the week, the editorial team will pick out some of our favorites.
