  A great neighbor family just left the US and returned to Europe, explicitly because of what our country has become. Educated, successful, community-oriented people. I understand their decision. I'm sad and angry.

  Not that anyone asked me, but I am solidly supporting Tram Nguyen in the race to replace Seth Moulton for US Congress (MA 6th District). She is smart, reliably progressive, and has a track record you can check for yourself. She was a law school classmate of my law partner and went on to be a civil legal aid attorney for crime victims. Then she flipped her state rep district from a MAGA lunatic (and chair of the MA Republican party). LFG. #MApoli #Massachusetts https://www.tramforcongres...

  RE: https://mastodon.me.uk/@ChrisMayLA6/116998821865772601 I can't express how angry this makes me. Both because it happened and because I can absolutely see this happening in one of my cases (police report, scientific document, police regulations, etc.).

  It’s #STFUfriday! When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU: - I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going. - Am I free to leave? - I am not answering any questions. - If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search." - I want to talk to a lawyer. You have a great explanation. You're obviously innocent. Just a big misunderstanding. If you're being questioned and you're not free to leave, something bad is already happening....

  This is a massive shout out to employers who are willing to hire formerly incarcerated people. You change lives and make our communities safer and more stable. I see it every day.

  Not as bad. But as described, I don’t see how it would work without running into the same data harvesting/breach/privacy problems as other bills.

  This morning, I heard a northern rough winged swallow, American goldfinch, a rose breasted grosbeak, a downy woodpecker, a marsh wren, and a northern house wren. And I got to see this sight. Urban parks rule.

  @TheBreadmonkey The most significant downside of the mastodon and so-called fediverse is that it has no users. It's just me from millions of accounts, and to prove that i'll now post this from all of them

  I'll be speaking at this briefing on behalf of one of my clients. Joint venture is wrong for so many reasons. We should punish people for what they do and what they intend. Not what other people do and intend. Using joint venture to convict people is the opposite of personal responsibility. It's always about the racism. Predictably, juries are more likely to judge white defendants individually and more willing to find shared intent when the defendants are BIPOC. /2 https://digitalco...

  States/municipalities should start passing laws that anyone who works for ICE after X date is ineligible for state employment in the future. With maybe a whistleblower exemption. Lots of these people are wannabe cops.
