Criminal defense attorney, not religious but welcoming to all kind, gentle, tolerant people. Lefty, anti-fascist. I don't tolerate intolerance. Eat the rich.

In '18 or '19 I had a case in which I had to very briefly view CP in a secure room in a police department. As a 58 year old experienced defense lawyer, I wept in front of an another man & it changed me forever. It is why I am here standing for victims. That Bondi saw what no doubt (cont'd)

Yeah. Can't stand his politics but baby-raping & eating appears to be a bridge too far for him. I have a begrudging respect for how in their face he is.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Being throttled on Threads so here I come, Bluesky. I'm a criminal defense attorney who has represented executives charged with sex crimes. I know what they're capable of. I'm here to stand for VICTIMS and to fight the fascists. Looking forward to getting to know all of you.

Meta has the $ to make Threads easier to generate engagement and there are aspects of threads Bluesky could use. But a former Trump advisor is now the Prez of Meta, so it is an extension of Truth Social now. Time to migrate.

I read emails of this nature written by people with names you might recognize. Deeply embarrassing, human stuff. And I would would NEVER betray my duty to not disclose it. Not just because I would lose my license to practice and rightly so, but because I wouldn't want my deepest secrets (cont'd)

So my advice is, if you work for any one else or any business & have a work email, assume everything you put in any work email will be read by lawyers & aloud in court. For God's sake your every thought doesn't need to be preserved forever in an email. DO NOT USE YOUR WORK EMAIL (cont'd)

Good piece. As for AI, the bubble will burst. It won't even take that many jobs. AI is not true artificial intelligence. It is a word placement & frequency algorithm. Think of it as fancy predictive text.

Given the relentless sh*t I took for my first name growing up in a rural community in the 60s & 70s, what other people must have been through for names they did not choose always occurs to me. There was some youthful torture over "Robinette". It leaves a mark.

This reminds me of how lawyers look in the series Suits; it's 10 pm, no 5 o'clock shadow, the suits & hair are perfect & the women are wearing cocktail dresses. If you've worked late at a law firm, you know the reality is a more greasy, unkempt, slovenly mess.
