Prepping for a hearing tomorrow. But taking a needed break to get an early view of Just Mercy. To watch & witness the story of Bryan Stevenson, my professor and mentor (and professor and mentor to so many). The reason I became a public defender. Ready to be inspired as always.
Just finished. So inspired. Now hearing from Norris Henderson. An innocent man who served 27 years in Angola. #JustMercy brought me to tears. I can’t wait for the country to see this. Asked this crowd who thinks this film will bring new folks into fold. Everyone raised hands.
Norris Henderson is the Founder & Director of the Voice of the Experienced. Please learn more here: vote-nola.org/norris-henders…
Ok back home and back to prepping for hearing tomorrow. I'm fired up by the depiction of Bryan Stevenson's fight in #JustMercy. Not arguing to overturn the wrongful conviction of a man condemned to die, but a person's life is on the line. A true privilege.

“One day, from his sniper nest, Gallagher shot a girl in a flower-print hijab who was walking w/ other girls on the riverbank. She dropped, clutching her stomach, & the other girls dragged her away.” This is who he pardoned & honored.

🚨ICE’S MOTION TO DISMISS COURTHOUSE ARREST SUIT REJECTED:

“Courts can’t function properly if 3rd parties disrupt proceedings & intimidate parties & witnesses by staging arrests in the courthouse, on court property, or while witnesses or parties are in transit to or from court.”
This decision came down on Thursday. In November 2019, @BklynDefender signed on to an amicus brief drafted by partners @ImmDefense. Here’s a copy of the brief: immigrantdefenseproject.org/wp-content/upl…

Full suit and tie & heading out to court tonight till 1am. On way out of building, a number questioning where I was headed. “On a Saturday night?” Court is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, 8am-1am. Overpoliced communities don’t get a reprieve.
“A gravity knife arrest” became synonymous w/ arresting mostly Black or Latino men for carrying work knives used in service level jobs. Fortunately, decriminalized this past year. But stop & frisk still continues no matter the holiday.
No. The point is there are far too many people, in predominately Black & Latino neighborhoods, over policed which leads to so many arrests that the courts have to be open all the time. The solution: shrink the system. Less things criminalized. Less police.

#WATCH: Mueller warns...Russia continues to attack our elections "AS WE SIT HERE."

Q: "Did you think that this was a single attempt...or did you find evidence to suggest [Russia will] try to do this again?"

MUELLER: "It wasn't a single attempt. They're doing it as we sit here."
#FLAG: Mueller fears that accepting #ElectionInterference is the "new normal."

Q: "Have we established...[that any candidate] aware of a hostile foreign power trying to influence an election has no duty to report?"

MUELLER: "I hope this is not the new normal, but I fear it is."
#REDFLAG: The NRCC, the committee to elect Republicans in the House, REFUSED to pledge not to accept/use hacked materials in 2020.

It wasn't a part of ANY coverage today, despite Mueller's warnings about #ElectionInterference and fear of the "new normal."

#OnceUponATime,Six Blind fellows came in front of an elephant.
The first guy, Abraham by name, felt up the trunk and declared elephant is long & flexible.
When the elephant started probing with its trunk, seeking food, Abraham pushed his son to front.
1/7
Elephant a herbivore, returned the child to Abraham.

Next guy Moses, when he approached, elephant lifted up its head & trunk.
Moses reached its leg, declared it is solid, straight like pillar & not flexible. He issued commandments, rigid, inflexible & hard as elephant hide.
2/7
Next guy, Siddhartha was tall, he could reach upto the ears, declared elephant is flat, thin and broad and provides comforting wind when you move it.
3/7

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

#Story ...
1.’Dada ‘ was actually the name of the Dutch company that imported Fake Ghee Called ‘vanaspati ghee ‘ into India in the 1930s as a cheap substitute for Pure ‘desi ghee ‘ Which was prepared from cow or Buffalo milk in India 🤔
2. Desi Ghee was locally made product sustaining Indian Economy-on other hand-So Called ‘Vanaspati ghee’was a type of vegetable shortening made up of hydrogenated or highly saturated vegetable oil and made to just’mimic desi Ghee’🤔!

It was a Fake Product to fool the Indians 😎
3. Proper ‘Desi Ghee ‘ was expensive & Lever Brothers, now Unilever (Hindustan Unilever in India), knew there was a market for a substitute for desi ghee, since many Indians could barely afford Ghee in those days 😨
