This is WILD: After a YEAR of whining about it, LA is finally admitting that NONE of the officers whose photos were released *by them* thru a *public records request* are actually undercovers anyway, so the whole claim it would endanger undercovers was … not true. www.latimes.com/california/s...

just saw a cease and desist from a landlord claiming it is defamatory to call him "greedy." lord, give me strength.

Reposting from @strugar.bsky.social's "X" account: At the Eighth Circuit court of appeals with @profalankchen, @DavidMuraskin, & @CristinaKladis trying to protect our win against Iowa’s 2nd and 3rd ag gag laws! Alan & Dave argued and were both incredible.

hurricane wasn’t shit

defamation q: A tells B something about Z. B then publishes it widely. Z knows of both A & B but sues only A for defamation per quod for harms from the public knowing it. But A didn’t tell the public. Has Z pleaded damages for the defamation claim?

here’s a nice article about our efforts to fight sex offender registration for historical (pre-lawrence) sodomy convictions in mississippi https://mississippitoday.org/2023/07/28/mississippi-to-pay-over-400k-in-attorneys-fees-over-unconstitutional-sodomy-law/

I’m announcing my new social media app BLOCKED where you can talk about everything blocking: everyone you’ve blocked, why you blocked them, who should be blocked, who got blocked elsewhere by some other person or app.

just spoke with the mods... they said theyre adding DMs on this web site as soon as they get one user who people actually want to talk to

just heard from a formerly incarcerated client calling to say hi and he's like "life is great, man! i live in a huge RV; I'm somewhere different every day. And I got this security gig with 12 hour shifts where i don't do shit but sit there and watch karate movies!" :')

i would try to not lose fee shifting cases if these were my firm's rates that i swore under oath reasonably reflected the market

Excited to share this win I got today in some cases I haven't tweeted about at all yet. It involves a problem that seems to be getting worse: rich business owners trying to shut up their critics not through regular civil lawsuits, but civil anti-harassment statutes.

happy summer solstice (best day of the year) everyone

dale ho becomes the second aclu attorney ever confirmed the federal bench (bader ginsburg, d.c. cir. 1980)

Haven’t been so excited about seeing a social platform since chatroulette debuted but there are fewer people jerking off here. that’s fine, I guess!

such a euphoric feeling to watch the other side die inside during a virtual hearing that goes all bad for them. especially when the case is deeply ideological for both sides/attorneys.

welcome @mbolotnikova.bsky.social to blue sky, y’all! Marina is an editor at Von and does incredible reporting on the criminalization of dissent and government overreach in the animal rights movement. give her a follow.

Yes! This. It’s increasing, too, but nothing new. I’ve been anti-SLAPPing civil harassment petitions since 2012 and have filed on more than a dozen. (Even took one to the California Supreme Court twice and won.) It’s the cheapest, easiest SLAPP for censorious plaintiffs.

LA Times coverage of our win today. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-05-24/judge-denies-city-request-to-claw-back-police-officer-photos

this morning the court rejected LAPD’s request to censor Stop LAPD Spying Coalition’s Watch the Watchers website. The court found the city didn’t even show a possessory right, not even reaching the First Amendment problems. Congrats to @shakeer.bsky.social on the great argument for our team.
