Our @normabuster (extraordinary Client Relations Manager & former client & inspiration), is showcased in @UNFPA's "The Virtual is Real" series. Read this @ELLEmagazine article and watch the UN's vid. Norma empowers our clients everyday. We r so lucky!!

THE VIDEO:
"Within the first hour of finding my [underage] pictures on Pornhub, I was victimblamed" -- by the town judge she was asking for a protective order who told her if you send a picture, you should be comfortable with it being on a billboard.
"At the end of the day, I'm not going to tell people not to send naked pictures. What I will say is you should know your rights if your consent is violated."
". . .to let go of the shame externally placed on victims of sex crimes, to realize it's not my shame to carry forward." omg yeeeeeeesssss, Norma!!!!!
This video captures the essence of @normabuster . Wise, insightful, singular, incredibly intelligent, fly as hell, brave.

I'm really so grateful that she's in my life, the team's life, and our clients'. There's nobody like her. And this is just the beginning.

This gets it wrong. There was no promise. There was no immunity. Nobody in their right mind would consider a press release saying we aren't prosecuting at this time as a promise of immunity -- 1/ nytimes.com/2021/07/01/opi…
-- especially when there's a PA statute saying immunity must be court ordered.
And as you can read in the 79 page decision, Cosby did not rely on the promise because he did NOT cooperate at first with the civil depositions. The civil court intervened. There's a
general requirement that people getting deposed answer honestly. Which he did. That's not detrimental reliance. I also find it intellectually dishonest for this author to reference Santobello v NY as standing for the notion that

Just so everybody knows, it's a big pack of lies that in 2005 DA Castor did anything to help Andrea Constand's civil case. Granting Cosby a non-prosecutorial agreement made did not help her civil case. Her civil case would have been served even better by him pleading the 5th
and having the jury draw negative inferences. This was an unnecessary buddy-buddy deal given to America's favorite dad. It was mischaracterized to Andrea. And it's mischaracterized by the Supreme Court of PA.
Prosecutors play NO role in civil claims. Castor is not a party to the civil case. He can't enter an agreement with Cosby in exchange for testimony in unrelated civil court is f*cking CRAZY.

I have so many thoughts about this. When I ran the legal department at @verainstitute Guardianship Project, we had two major situations involving the reproductive rights of people who the court had deemed incapacitated. #FreeBritney 🧵 nytimes.com/2021/06/24/hea…
The first involved a young woman who experienced a TBI as a pedestrian hit by a car. She was hospitalized. And they discovered she was three months pregnant and tested positive for methampetamines. This was news to her too.
Hospital petitioned for a guardian to make medical decisions about the birth. We were appointed. It was month 6 or 7 by then. My first concern was why the hell the mom had been a captive in this hospital x 4 months. Did not leave once. The hospital had barely been doing any

Something extraordinary happened to me. I went to The Met on Fri b/c my favorite painting, Alice Neel's The Fuller Brush Man was on exhibit. Last time the private owners showed it was the year 2000.

This is a story about two Alices.
Back in 2000 I was a case manager for Nazi Victims and Holocaust Survivors in Northern Manhattan and the Bronx. I'd do things like recertify their reparations, set up homecare, take them to doctors visits, etc.
Later on I got really good at getting them new restitution money. And after 9/11 I started weekly groups for current events and memoir writing. But back then, I was fresh out of college and mainly was just a buddy to them. They'd confide in me about the traumas they didn't

One thing i get asked a lot is if reforming Section 230 will result in a spate of new lawsuits.

The question assumes 1) lawsuits are a bad thing and 2) a bunch of new lawsuits = frivolous new lawsuits.
Reforming Section 230 hopefully WILL result in new lawsuits. That's a good thing. Because there are a ton of people who've suffered serious harms -- CSAM, sextortion, wrongful death of loved ones -- as a result of some specific tech platforms.
Imagine if there was a law that you couldn't sue car companies and that law was finally lifted. You can imagine that people who were in accidents because of faulty breaks, exploding airbags, and no seatbelts, would want their day in court.

This is the most clear-headed, fresh and readable piece on #Section230 I've ever read. About the past, present, and possible future. Best is his discussion of the alternate history if 230 never passed Expert work, @GiladEdelman @WIRED

wired.com/story/gadget-l…
Though this was not the focus of the piece it was truly refreshing for somebody to finally acknowledge the tactic used by many of the 230 defenders -- to belittle anybody who dares question or litigate against 230.
The defenders say we don't understand or we're too stupid to get it or say something flippant and untrue like "the only reason you can post your criticism of section 230 is because of section 230." You can't feel too sorry for the defenders. They're on the side of the powerful.
