Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 4hShe's such an idiot. Formula is one of the most regulated products and is designed to be equivalent to human breast milk. Couldn't pronounce the word in the ingredient list so she goes looking for something from a completely different animal? Honestly, not surprised she's a doula, either 120
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Brand new sentence, but this actually looks like a really fun, seasonal CLE session 👻 121
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A peak into how elderly middle of the road voters in swing states like Pennsylvania are feeling these days. I present my mom, who has always been clear no advanced life support: 160
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 19/09/2026This truck didn't quite make the turn. Not clear how this truck was driving through Trinidad. Not the best traffic direction for the festival 420
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 19/09/2026By any chance, is this your car parked for the H Street festival? 630
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Graphic Design is NOT my passion. But I'm running an ad in Prison Legal News about this problem. PLN isn't flashy, but if you want to get information out to the US prison population, it's about the best. LMK what you all think? 2104
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Yes, DocketBird, this is a great way to sell me on the use of your AI summaries 010

Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 17/08/2026E.g. just snapped this picture of the National Guard staging in the parking lot of my neighborhood elementary school, right as the kids are going back to school. 46023
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I'm not the biggest fan of spiders, but still this story kind of made me tear up prisonjournalismproject.org/2026/08/11/a... 031

Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Ok on top of being creepy AF this is stupid. A trans girl on blockers has her T blocked. That's the whole fucking point. 021
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 28/06/2026It not my imagination. The dumbest people alive are coming to visit. 6298

Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 18/06/2026If I build clients, I would definitely fire them for this. 031
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 17/06/2026"For informational purposes only" is how they responded to one of my clients telling them she was raped by a guard. I guess no corrective action was necessary. 351
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 17/06/2026The grievance system is *supposed to* provide an organized way for prison officials to solve problems before they get worse. Not how it works. 183

Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 21/05/2026A Jew's name being Israel has nothing to do with ties to the modern state of Israel. C'mon New York Mag. 170
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Useful perspective and background. With this key point 2394
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 08/04/2026It's going to be disappointing, even with basement expectations, right? 670
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026But here's the extra kicker, the judge terminated Ms. Holland's sentence the day after her appointment. Why would he do that? Because the BOP has to pay for it while she's in custody. 2514
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026I don't exactly know what it means when a judge says that you, the lawyer, will carry the scars of misfeasance. But I do know that I never want to find out. 2502
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Again, I know this may not seem like a big deal to people whose brains aren't pickled by the law, but whew! 1625
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026But here's the part that would have me crawling into the sea if I were involved on the BOP side. The judge basically call the US prison system Soviet Russia. 1528
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Judge is not mincing words here in his analysis. 1396
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Here's what the US Attorney's Office said after the last massive screw up that killed someone. Does it seem at this point that there was consultation, and supervisory review, coordination to get the relevant records? 1275
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026But, understanding that there are gonna be some questions, the AUSA files an explanation. The AUSA says it's the BOP's internal lawyer's fault: he interpreted the court order to mean exactly what it did not say, and what didn't make any sense given the circumstances. 1303
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026What does the BOP do? As my father-in-law would say, sit around with its thumb up its ass. (He has a way with words). At this point, the AUSA has to acknowledge that the BOP has completely screwed the pooch, and that Ms. Holland should be released. 2393
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026The judge gave the BOP 30 days to get her to a breast surgeon. Now, this is the Middle District of Florida. There are lots of doctors, but they, like all doctors, are busy. 2324
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026This is not something that you want to see a judge write about what you submitted. Yes, the BOP apparently told the AUSA that the file was complete, but she didn't double check. And for that, she gets called out by the judge. 16812
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Again, Judge Dalton, not stupid. Orders the AUSA to get the medical file, and CERTIFY that it's the entire file. This is not a routine thing. This is the judge telling her to double check and put her own butt on the line. She certifies to the court that it is the whole file. 2405
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Ms. Holland files 2 more supplements. And it's not good. Not only has the BOP waited over a month, they tried to send her to a general surgeon, not a breast surgeon. You might not know, but breast surgeons aren't just "good at cutting on boobies" they have special training in diagnostics. 1366
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Judge Dalton is not stupid. Federal judges don't write "fuck off with this nonsense." When a judge says that your response is "suspect," that's what they mean. 1436
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026A little bit of background. This isn't the first time the BOP has done this, in front of this same judge! In 2022, the judge made a referral to the DOJ Office of the Inspector General about it. Read it here: oig.justice.gov/reports/inve... 2326
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026So, what does the Assistant US Attorney do? Tries to say that there's nothing to see here. Cancer schmancer, that's not an emergency, judge. 1324
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 01/04/2026As a breast cancer survivor, this catches my attention. When the docs suspected cancer, even in the middle of pandemic lock down, they MOVED. But not here. The BOP is slow walking her referrals. 1323
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 30/03/2026And here, in this case, it's the BOP's own fault this guy was not prosecuted 100
Deb Golden @debgoldendc.bsky.social · 30/03/2026But, the court notes all is not lost. There's still a ground called "undue delay" 110
