your exes want you back, my clients who retained private counsel want me back. we are not the same.


it’s time to de-center prosecutors again. in a second trump term, i know public defenders will be on the frontlines doing everything they can to keep people safe while prosecutors will keep saying their hands are tied because their supervisors said no.


48 hour ban on toxic positivity, especially from white people, please lord

I forgot who, but saw someone tweet "congrats to the US Attorney for the SDNY" the exact moment the Eric Adams primary was called and man have I thought about it a lot since then


europeans come to nyc and worry about whether it’s safe to ride the subway but if they just look around they’d see we don’t have to wear our phones on those goofy straps


we didn’t know how good we had when it was briefly cool to be a public defender, the left has swung back full carceral and full how can you represent “those people”. while not surprising, it’s still disheartening.


on trial… in august…during the olympics…when simone and jordan are going to be on the floor…ok


my boo said the opening ceremony is giving him paris syndrome lmao

disappointed alum of @CUNYLaw hearing they’re threatening to cancel an already underway graduation bc graduates are finding ways to voice support of palestine despite the administration’s extreme steps to silence them. law in the service of human needs, unless it’s palestinians.

my virtual court setup:

my litigator imposter syndrome is so bad that i’m at a foundational trial skills training program and after discussing our trial experience, someone quite literally asked me why i’m here if i’ve done so many trials 😭


and our city will gladly pay out the inevitable settlements for this type of depravity while protecting their fascist cops that literally train with the iof in israel

NYPD forcibly removed hijabs from multiple muslim columbia students in jail, we kept chanting “let her wear her hijab” over and over from inside our cells. one of them was told to shut up by an officer when she demanded to get back her hijab. columbia unleashed these pigs on us.

ccny campus magazine livestream is genuinely incredible, they’re reading out police badge numbers + names and getting people in the chat to search complaints filed against them, then reading the complaints back out loud to the cops 😭
