LA’s #publicdefenders came together for a well-deserved night of celebration and connection. We’re grateful for the incredible members of Local 148 and proud to serve this amazing community of 10 million Angelenos!

Where are my #PublicDefenders of the desert?
In the rain? In the snow?
Where are my Public Defenders on the road?
On a subway? On the go?
Where are the defenders of the Rockies?
Of the plains? Of the Great Lakes?
How about "Public Defender in The Making"!
Change the template; Raise the stakes.

My favorite part of the video that SHOULD hit home for most people, even if you are discounting the security concerns #PublicDefenders

A former Coast Guard lieutenant who called for President Trump’s assassination on social media was acquitted by a federal jury after his attorneys argued the posts were protected speech under the First Amendment.

“I would do it. I would take the fall to save America. Too bad I don’t have the operational skills to pull it off,” Stinson wrote in one post.

Solidarity with striking public defenders in NYC! They’re demanding a more manageable case load and pushing back against salary freezes. ✊ #UAW #NYLAG #publicdefenders

Thank you @maradolan.bsky.social for speaking up!
Over 3,000 innocent people do not have a court-appointed attorney. Jennifer O’Brien and I joined @wgbh.org’s Jim Braude and Margery Eagan to talk about the latest on the bar advocate work stoppage, how hard it is, and why we are hopeful. #mapoli #publicdefender

California is failing to provide enough investigators for #publicdefenders. Nearly half of counties have none at all! This puts innocent people at risk and stacks the system against those with fewer resources. Real justice needs real resources.

Today on r/publicdefenders, aka the burnout capital of indigent defense—an ode to the virtues of caging humans if one wishes to later keep humans out of cages for a living.

Aspiring PDs, never take advice from these people.

I’m beginning to think the r/publicdefenders subreddit is actually psy ops for Big Prosecution.

Today marks four years since Local 148 was formed to fight for our members, our clients, and the people of Los Angeles. As we head into MOU negotiations this summer, we remain as fierce and united as ever. #UnionStrong #publicdefenders

The “We❤️PublicDefenders” group never says anything bad about public defenders because the group has no members and makes no postings.

This contrasts sharply with the police’s “We❤️PublicDefenders” group chat.
