My law practice at a glance!!! My hope is that this gives you an idea of my work and what you get when you hire ME for your legal needs 😄✨

How can I keep up? I’m concerned.

Can we organize to refer them to Black attorneys and accounts and Black business oriented nonprofits that can help fundraise their defense?

Savor the beauty of the moment.

A second plane has gone down in 3 days. Seems like things were safer when DEI was still in place.

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

The owner of the other app doing N*zi salutes. Chile… let me spend some time over here

Signed, love

He literally said he would do that

Facebook is really, really bad with this. It’s why AI slop is taking over that platform

This country was founded on “minority rule” first colonial governors, then landowners, then white men. The wealthy white male supremacists will always back those who obfuscate their struggle to control our economy

The main problem is that national news outlets are too close with national politicians to be truly critical or investigative. They crave access so much that they gaslight the public in what we all see in front of our own eyes.

Drake has initiated legal action against Universal Music Group and Spotify over allegations that the two companies conspired to artificially inflate the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” In a filing Monday (Nov. 25) in Manhattan court, Drake’s Frozen Moments LLC accused UMG of launching an illegal “scheme” involving bots, payola and other methods to pump up Lamar’s song — a track that savagely attacked Drake amid an ongoing feud between the two stars.

Drake’s attorneys accuse UMG of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the federal “RICO” statute often used in criminal cases against organized crime. They also allege deceptive business practices and false advertising under New York state law. The court filings are a remarkable twist in the high-profile beef between the two stars, which saw Drake and Kendrick exchange stinging diss tracks over a period of months earlier this year. That such a dispute would spill into business litigation seemed almost unthinkable in the world of hip-hop.

So…this is like Twitter without the Nazis? Gotcha

The thing that keeps getting me about all the pieces fretting about Bluesky being too insular is that the argument seems to be that those of us who are most likely to be abused by the right (BIPOC people, trans people, queer people, etc) must put up with being abused for the sake of public discourse

The other exploding area of dark money in politics is the crypto lobby.

They have dumped insane sums in elections in both parties (Dem primaries + GOP general elections).

It’s pretty bad

Should I tell Twitter I’m here? I don’t want to inadvertently cause an influx of all the worst accounts on the internet.

In comparison, a similar bill was brought up before the House earlier this year. There was much less organizing against it and it got further then.

Today’s vote was a very different story. The attention + organizing played a role.

If you can thank your rep for voting NO, please do so. It matters.

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations).

Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members.

I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.
