Lawyer. Recovering CISO. Still optimistic but it’s not getting any easier. Views my own, g-d knows nobody else wants to claim them. Skeets definitely not legal advice. Currently clean on OPSEC.

I’m writing this as a sort of time capsule because tomorrow, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States. The things I am writing here are true today, and I hope will remain true for the next four years. 1/x

BOVINO: We don't need a suspect's help in a law enforcement scene

So much for the “most transparent administration ever” era.
In Sep EOIR suddenly changed policy on virtual access to hearings, restricting non-party observation to in-person-only, at the same time wardens of (often remote) detention centers are inventing new pre-clearance reqs and "security concerns" to refuse physical access to the public courts inside.

I'll think I'm used to seeing men wield sexual violence as a tool to reinforce their power, but it still manages to take my breath away. That's how I felt reading Epstein's letter to Larry Nassar about Trump. It's so transparent. So sick and twisted. And it's tolerated by far too many.

Finally, the lawyers were like “oh my god, I don’t know how this could possibly happen, we never make mistakes like this.”
But after they got busted in THIS case, they then went and filed corrections in one of their OTHER cases after they realized that fuckery was happening.

this is definitely the optimal use case for Bernie Sanders
Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

This is a great thread. The only way out is through, and no matter how you slice that, it’s going to be incredibly painful for a lot of people who deserve better.
I think what the "we must make sure nothing upsets or discomfits the smol bean middle American" side of this debate misses is that there are huge quantities of human misery and death down both of these paths and all we are doing now is deciding upon whom that misery settles, and when.
