There used to be a judge in the Daley Center who did this. One of the best judges I was ever in front of. Until someone complained and made them get rid of the candy.

Happy New Year. We’re going to win.

Since we're in the RFK Jr. era of doing your own health research, I think Trump should take as much aspirin as he wants, double what he's taking now. Make that blood as thin as he wants! Hell, he should swallow a bottle of aspirin with each meal if he wants. I support him doing this wholeheartedly.

We got some food during Christmas, but We received some food during Christmas, but we still need warm clothes to protect us from the cold. Please donate and help us stay warm. Verified by @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1604...

I've talked a bit about my upcoming surgery. I've gone back and forth about how much to disclose, but I've decided to talk more about it in hopes that it can help someone. This is going to be a lengthy thread. As you probably know, I have Crohn's Disease. It's unfortunately not a mild case.

Oh my G-d we've unironically gone from "everyone is Hamas" to "Jews who intermarry are worse than Hamas." I'm going to scream. MY MARRIAGE IS NOT A THREAT TO JUDAISM. My wife respects our faith and culture more than this author does. chabadinfo.com/opinions/int...

Asking me if I'm the secretary and telling me they need to speak with my boss, the lawyer, isn't quite the gender affirmation I'm looking for but okay

There exists in the law a concept called "disparate impact." It's one of the most important aspects of the kind of law I practice, and it's been under attack by the right for decades. This is a gross oversimplification, but disparate impact is something like this:

When opposing counsel cites exactly one (1) case in their 15 page brief and you read it and it says exactly the opposite of what they said

The Jewish sages teach that the commandment to eradicate the memory of Amalek from the face of the earth is an obligation to fight the evil inclination and prejudices we hold WITHIN OURSELVES.

Maha desperately needs a new tent and food. They have had very little donations over the last two weeks. Verified by @mommunism.bsky.social A small gift is a HUGE mercy chuffed.org/project/help...

My dear friend and chosen sister @thunderchunky07 and I are starting a YouTube channel! As you know, I spend much of my time On Here demystifying the legal system. Unfortunately, there's a lot I can't do with a character limit.

Just wanted to sincerely thank everyone for an amazing year. This has been a rough year for me personally, for a lot of reasons. But I have been so blessed to have an awesome community on here, and now almost 60,000 of you (!!!) want to read my silly words. I truly am unbelievably honored.

Another entry in @prisonculture.bsky.social's always-correct observation that most people in this country have no idea how anything works: Recently a person told me they might not need a lawyer because they called the White House to ask President Biden to order their landlord not to evict them.

Israel profiting from the people they're terrorizing and exterminating. There's so many different facets of this evil that feels like it should shock the world into action, but leaders don't move. The organ harvesting, the attacking journalists, Hind Rajb, a million examples- and Israel's untouched

Abolish Israel.

Anyone saying/thinking that Israel isn’t still actively pursuing the complete eradication of the Palestinian/Gazan culture hasn’t been paying attention, are ignorant or they are actually agreeing & supporting the ongoing abuse and genocidal acts against the Palestinian people by Israel.

NPR reported today that the overwhelming majority of the aid Israel is allowing into Gaza is *commercial.* In other words, Israel is banning free food and shelter aid and only allowing in goods that Palestinians have to buy. With money they don't have.

You got a problem with Médecins Sans Frontières, you got a problem with me. And I suggest you let that one marinate.

There are going to be people who unironically praise this and say banning Doctors Without Borders and OxFam is necessary because they're Hamas. And worse, folks will nod and agree as though that's a legitimate position and not absolutely batshit. www.npr.org/2025/12/30/g...

In the words of Will Riker, some days you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you.

If Benjamin Netanyahu offered me the Israel Prize I'd probably crawl into a hole out of sheer shame and never come out

I'm just saying that RFK should definitely take Trump and Netanyahu swimming in his favorite sewage spot whilst he has the opportunity.

I don't know how anyone can say we're the greatest country in the world after watching this. What we actually are is a deeply unfair, inequitable, and downright cruel society. youtu.be/7MkAs99O1LQ...

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

I'm concerned about how materialistic we're becoming. Social media influencers are saying Coach and Michael Kors aren't luxurious enough. I just saw an article in a law periodical saying judges should require all attorneys to wear new designer clothing in their standing orders.

It's honestly remarkable how often the "Netanyahu has to go, but I support Israel" crowd ends up supporting Netanyahu. He's a racist right wing fascist demagogue who wants to be a dictator. Saying you support his "war" is like saying Bush and Cheney have to go but you support the invasion of Iraq.

In which the love of my life @mistymotors.net flies an aerobatic plane because she really is just, you know, the coolest

In colorado you had to pay a filing fee in order to request a public defender. Guess which segment of the populace will never have the money to pay for that.

I never thought of this. It tickled around the edge of my brain. I knew that people get into situations where a corporation can just say, "Well, we'll bankrupt you before you can prove that we're in the wrong." A right to an attorney is irrelevant if you can't pay them.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people who (correctly) ardently support universal healthcare then turn around and oppose universal right to free counsel. IT'S LITERALLY THE SAME PRINCIPLE.

Birdies say Happy New Year and Free Palestine.
