Arlington, VA is a thriving, diverse community. But not when it comes to criminal justice. As a defense lawyer who's tried cases there and throughout NoVA, I know its reputation of overzealous prosecution, with disparate impact on minorities and the mentally ill, is sadly true.
You know it's bad when a harsh sentence is referred to as "Arlington style."

So I was duty bound to sign on a letter with 108 other attorneys, noting a high (98%) rate of felony convictions by plea, unfair discovery practices, and hugely disparate stats on black defendants.
Black folks are only 9% of the population, but 60+% of marijuana, larceny, and trespass arrests.

Something noxious is in the water when all roads lead to the Arlington Detention Center.

Folks, I want to introduce you to an amazing client of mine, Kellie Green. She's one of the most genuine and unapologetic people I've ever met.

We met when I agreed to sign on as local counsel for a sexual harassment lawsuit she had filed with her lawyer, J. Christopher Belcher.
She used to be a police officer in the Pentagon Police. I'll spare the details, but she was victimized by her superiors in a manner that can only be described as horrific. She was a stellar officer, earning an Employee of the Month award.
But the harassment continued, she asserted her rights and filed a formal complaint with the EEOC.

And they fired her.

She never gave up. She punched forward. And last November, a scant few weeks before trial, we settled the case.

Did I miss the part where #JaredKushner has any qualifications for building an immigration policy?

Silly me. Forgot that "qualifications" don't matter.

Let's see: border security and legal immigration, defined as merit based ("skilled") and less family based/asylum.

And this is "neutral?"
This is a "compromise?"

Dems, don't fall for this nonsense. It's the RAISE Act all over again.
Just broken down and rebuilt, with the same right wing building blocks.

Tying immigration reform to "border security" is the hallmark of the anti-immigrant movement. That alone is enough to dismiss this proposal.

"Border security" means border militarization, nothing less.

Republican or Democrat, this is worth retweeting because we are all #Americans
Unfortunately, this brilliant cross examination by the Congresswoman from NYC is presented completely out of context here. What is this committee? Who arranged this?
What are they looking into? You may LOVE the Congresswoman and be a huge fan. In the era of pseudo-events however, it’s a good idea to provide more context.

Adm McRaven calls out Trump: "Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency."

Adm. McRaven: "A good leader tries to embody the best qualities of his or her organization. A good leader sets the example for others to follow. A good leader always puts the welfare of others before himself or herself."

I would appreciate amplification of this thread. Not for more followers. IDGAF.

What I *do* want is for #Americans to wake up and truly see a bigger picture.

Ready? Okay.
1)We are rapidly facing a major Y in the decision tree. Even if we make the right political decision, our current situation may not end well.

If we do nothing or make the wrong decision, well...no one lives forever.

#GenXFatalism
2)While a potential #BlueWave2018 is great, please do not think it will solve the systemic problems in this country. Look at it as amputating a gangrenous limb from a Type II diabetic, who won’t lose weight/eat right/take insulin.

It's May, meaning a lot of my artist friends are graduating! Some of my UK friends are considering freelancing, while searching for jobs or even jumping into it full time and getting themselves out there! Some advice. Do not undersell yourself. You have #rights! (thread!)
As of August 2017, the Artist's Union England determines the following hourly rates for an artist to be fair; £21.04 p/hr for a new graduate artist. That's about $28 dollars for my US friends. This goes up to £27.27 p/hr for 3 yrs+ exp, and £31.47 per hour for 5 years or more. /2
If you are doing sessional/daily rates such as presentations, consultations and installations. You should be looking at £166.24 p/day (£ 83.12 p/ 1⁄2 day) for a new grad artist, £218.19 p/day (£109.10 p/ 1⁄2 day) 3 yrs+ exp, £270.14 p/day (£135.07 p/ 1⁄2 day) 5 yrs+ exp. /3
