I didn’t lie under oath I simply forgot under oath your honor.
She was saying she’s a professor bc it was a trespassing arrest and she was stating it’s her place of work. This is an incredibly uncharitable view to the point it reads like an anti solidarity psyop

If the Criminal Legal System is EVER going to change. It is going to need to do so with a Trauma-Informed Lens. What a person experiences before they commit an offense is important so we know how to help them!!! Incarceration is NOT always the answer.
The freaks attacking that woman for being body slammed from a place of White Privilege are of course right that there’s nothing you can say to stop a cop from attacking you: “I’m a professor,” “I’m 12,” “I'm your wife,” “this is my house an you broke in,” “woof woof woof,” etc.
Do you know what you need to have said to get this group of people to be basically on the same side

I hope one of the lessons everyone’s taking away from watching how these police officers handle student protests is that police brutality isn’t just the murders you see, but the routine daily violence police use on civilians to do something as simple as conduct arrests.
Something I’m not hearing a ton about is that Gallaudet Students, from the historic college for the deaf, are also participating in solidarity encampments in the DMV area.
She was saying she was a prof because of the trespassing issue. Besides, she and many of the students are privileged and aren’t perfect, but the point is that they’re using their privilege to try to help and protect others…like we constantly tell people with privilege to do.

Periodically the public defender community needs to be reminded that we are absolutely complicit in the carceral machine’s violence
Oh man that white lady professor yelled the wrong very factual thing when that cop was brutalizing her for no reason except concern over injustice i don't think we should let her get away with it
These numbers would be a huge red flag for me if I were a client. You’re getting billed for something someone else is also getting billed for or getting work that is necessarily sub-par because this is too many actual hours to do well. Plus, I like my lawyers not mistreated.

If you want to be mad about the Weinstein conviction, be mad at the prosecutors who introduced inappropriate evidence and the judge who allowed it!

this is the strangest part about your life being forever changed by something, you wake up the next morning and everyone is just behaving as though life is normal and yours will never be normal again! you find yourself wanting to yell at the cheery cashier, "HAVE SOME RESPECT!"

“Only a few bad apples!” argument shot dead out of the water when every single apple at the same time, in the same week, on college campuses in 15+ cities around the country, has giddily put on riot gear to turn college students sitting on a lawn into a violent cluster fuck☺️
Had a less than awesome day and then was distracted and tired on the way home and managed to let myself run out of gas. Can we just like purge this week from the history books?
A reminder to prosecutors that if a judge is giving you everything you ask for, it's your job to exercise restraint and think about your record on appeal.

The outright police brutalization and assault on Emory students exercising their constitutional right to free speech is a disgusting display of fascism. These young leaders, many who are LGBTQ+, deserve the right to assemble and protest in peace without fear of state violence.

@Jasonskelly6 Yes, I'm on Xarelto now and have seen the hematologist (and have follow up scheduled) and see pulmonologist #3 this Thursday 😁. He's supposed to be wonderful.
Good thing I worried, huh? Turns out humans can grieve and have pulm vascular disease at the same time. 🤯
Can now say that I've had every single test that pulm #1 and #2 wanted (PFT, Xray, blood), and all of those confirm their diagnoses of asthma+sad and/or crazy. The ONLY reason we know I have pulm*nary emb*lism is bc I was "insistent on getting CT of chest." 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
I can handle my shit
If I could argue about the law all day I would be a pig in mud. I always raise my hand to do the grunt work required to support that aim. It’s the manufactured [non-]emergencies & disproportionate expectation (compared to my male colleagues) to take on admin work that kill me.
Partner just called to talk strategy for a brief. I am SO invested in this issue (which I have ownership over), we have an imminent deadline I knew about in advance, & I feel supported/respected by this partner, so I’m happy to work on a Saturday. 1/
it should be illegal to message me on a weekend to ask about the status of a very non urgent contract.
Resisting Arrest and Assault on a Police Officer is code for I'm ruining your life because you offended me
No sir. These are de minimis touchings, 70% of which don’t even hurt the officer’s feelings. Police often charge A&B LEO as leverage to coerce a guilty plea, or to cover up their own misconduct… …and that’s injustice and that’s beneficial to your garden virginiamercury.com/2020/07/20/som…
it’s a dog eat dog world and Kristi Noem wants to kill both dogs
i can't actually think too much about how sick it is that kristi noem killed that puppy so i am instead thinking about how absolutely wild it is that she published that story herself on purpose????
She was saying she’s a professor bc it was a trespassing arrest and she was stating it’s her place of work. This is an incredibly uncharitable view to the point it reads like an anti solidarity psyop
I love how white people scream "I'm a professor," like that's supposed to make them immune to police brutality
You get to pick one thing to be good at every week - working out, cooking, no screens, kicking ass at work, clean house. If you try to pick two things, you get sent to the back of the line and get no things.
Don’t worry guys, I think I’m going to start screen time now! Y’all think breaking bad is too old for him?
If the Criminal Legal System is EVER going to change. It is going to need to do so with a Trauma-Informed Lens. What a person experiences before they commit an offense is important so we know how to help them!!! Incarceration is NOT always the answer.
