The Washington Post ran a story about this photo without speaking to the woman at the center of it. Without her consent, the piece discusses her mental illness. The Washington Post also laid off

This story by me features Philly DA Larry Krasner with of the better on-the-record quotes I've ever gotten, and it was maybe the most mild thing he said in our interview.

Bernita Bowlding's brother: "They say that 'We love you, we got you,' but the reality is that this woman is homeless." The white supremacy in the frame and the homelessness outside it. A distinctly American story.

I don't cover the federal judiciary, but when I explain how things work on a local level to the average person (no, the cops don't have to protect you; no, the attorney general doesn't have to enforce your rights; no, you can't sue state employees who violate your rights) I sure feel like I do!

In a 4-3 decision today, the Supreme Court of PA has ruled that whenever the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office concedes that a defendant is entitled to post-conviction relief, the state Attorney General has the right to intervene and oppose said concession.

Services to victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and other crimes are in crisis under the 2nd Trump admin. That's because they rely on the fines and penalties paid out after white collar prosecutions & settlements, which the DOJ hasn't been too keen on & Trump keeps forgiving w/ pardons.

You know what’s crazy? I’ve been hearing about cuts due to the “challenges of the industry” for as long as I’ve been in it and yet, all the same people in charge of meeting the “challenges” constantly fail AND get to keep their jobs. So weird!
