We now know why the Bristol County Jail is such a filthy disgrace: Sheriff #ThomasHodgson has spent more time cleaning #StephenMiller's balls than his own facilities

#mapoli
This is only a sample of the "hundreds" of fawning emails #StephenMiller received from #ThomasHodgson. What a complete embarrassment of a human and a public servant

bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/12/…
DISCLAIMER: I don't know who needs to hear this from me, but there's nothing at all wrong with cleaning another man's balls. Just don't do it on my dime, Tommy
BONUS: nearly missed the part where he openly bragged to Trump's senior immigration policy advisor that he was working on a strategy to "avoid" an order from the state's highest court
Best headline on this to date--your move @DigBoston

And if you have not previously had the displeasure of knowing about the worst sheriff in the Commonwealth, be sure to check out the full @SpencerBuell piece for context

TIL that I am not allowed to send a book to my client in custody.

A book.

(This book, specifically.)

m.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-huddled-…
I have sent books to clients in criminal custody, but apparently ICE detainees just can't be trusted with any more knowledge than absolutely necessary
I called the Bristol County jail's mailroom about this and was told that detainees can only be given books "which come straight from the bookstore." I don't think this is the policy anywhere else, but if it were going to be anywhere it would be on Sheriff Hodgson's watch

I just met a client in ICE custody whose story will be with me for the rest of my life.

She's the strongest person I've ever met in detention, a victim of injustice at the hands of state & federal authorities clearly proven from the record.

She's been in 9 months w/o a lawyer.
All she wanted was for someone to listen & understand the truth of her situation. Cops, ICE, the immigration judge--they all got it wrong. No one would listen to a homeless woman without a lawyer, & she has no right to one in deportation proceedings.

She fought like hell anyway
I look at these people in these cold visiting rooms sometimes, and I have ask myself:

Could I do this? Could I survive in here, with so much against me? So little hope? Such horrifically dehumanizing conditions, designed to destroy your will? Would I keep fighting?

Could you?

There is something you can do, right now. You'll be glad you did.
I've been stuck in court this morning catching up on impeachment news & feeling like there's nothing I can do to stop the rise of fascism and the end of objective truth.

But then I remembered: I'll have stopped a deportation by the time I leave today. That's the thing I can do
Pick an issue, a cause, a place where you can do something.

Connect with people already doing it. Give them money.

If you don't have money, you have time. If you don't have time, you have an email address and social media accounts.

Cynicism & despair?

Spent more time on #China accounts. So, by the account creation dates, most of the accounts (418) were created in 2017 - one dated back to 2007. However, that doesn't mean that they were tweeting about Chinese politics, or even controlled by China, back then. That's important.
Filtering the tweet text for variants on HK, Hong Kong, etc (in English! someone else should do this in Chinese...beyond my skills), there is a batch of tweets (~400) related to HK from 2017. BUT! Those are about sports and tourism. Bots tweeting ab HK Disney etc.
Then there is another batch related to Hong Kong in 2019. Those are about politics and related to the protests.

There are signs of coordinated amplification there: ie, two accounts, @ctcc507 and @feituji1994, were amplified by others in the data set. Some replied, others RT'd.

House is now taking up the important amendment #1057 related to drug prices #MAPoli
Rep. Mariano speaking about the amendment, how it is related to an idea that Gov Baker put in his version of the budget but the original house version did not contain #MAPoli
Rep. Mariano talking about how we need to ensure a cooperative relationship between the state & pharmaceutical manufacturers on drug prices, and that the Baker proposal verged on rate setting #MAPoli

This fire in TX has been burning since 11am Sunday (near Houston). /no detectable amounts of the chemicals have been found outside the ITC fence line," stated ITC Monday morning/
🙄Is there an invisible wall keeping that smoke in the fenceline?
facebook.com/ilike9news/vid…
When you see how hard it is to stop the fire and toxic smoke in TX, remember the chemical storage tanks at Twin River that would be affected by a source of ignition. And any fire at Twin Rivers would be much more dangerous with an unburned methane emitter across the way #mapoli

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley have convincingly made the argument that in the Trump era, blue states need to go bigger and bolder when it comes to progressive policy-making—which makes it really weird that Charlie Baker is still so popular in Massachusetts. #mapoli
I would love to know what kind of logic allows someone in Massachusetts to simultaneously vote for Ayanna Pressley and Charlie Baker—for a woman whose campaign slogan is #changecantwait and a guy who chains progressive policy-making to the Trump/GOP agenda. I don't get it #mapoli
It's not like there's a shortage of qualified challengers to Charlie Baker. We've got Jay Gonzalez (@jay4ma) running on a progressive and ambitious platform that includes many of the same policies that Pressley and her colleagues have rightly championed. We have a choice. #mapoli

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
