the fake German heiress from the Netflix show also tried to seek #asylum in the US from an EU member state based on the inconvenience that might result from ppl knowing she was a fake German heiress, which feels like it should have been more of a story all around
Inventing Anna('s Particular Social Group)

(just a little asylum humor there, don't mind me)
Anyway if you agree with Jeff Sessions that my clients fleeing torture and death at the hands of Central American gangs are abusing the system when they apply for asylum, pls accept this as a helpful example of what abusing the system looks like
Everyone has a right to apply for asylum, and I guess there are conceivably situations in which EU nations might generate bona fide claims but mostly

how were we ever supposed to know that the woman who spent months siding with an abusive mother in lying about her child's suicide while publicly fundraising off of accusing another child of her murder was a shameless grifter?

Sorry for the hyperlocal subtweet, but IYKYK. I didn't have much of an opinion about her before that, but just beyond all accepted norms of decency, humanity, and what I understand to be activism--and if we were still doing journalism around here you'd already know that
When all you've got is "only a right-wing "citizen journalist" troll was covering this!" all I'm hearing is an indictment of our Boston media class. Not the troll.

This is what happens when we put people over causes, and personalities over principle.

RT if you're old enough to remember when a morally compromised superpower could illegally invade a struggling sovereign nation over made-up nonsense on orders of a ruthless petro oligarch *without* the considerable inconvenience of our victims livestreaming our crimes in realtime
twenty years later it's astonishing to me now that the world's largest military openly bragged about slaughtering an almost entirely-defenseless army via "shock and awe," like as an actual strategy
Putin & Bush are both war criminals, full stop. But I've been wondering all day if the largest mass anti-war protest movement in history might actually gotten somewhere if the world had seen in realtime the stories & images from Iraq in its newsfeed the way now can from #Ukraine

LEFT: what you think an immigration lawyer does

RIGHT: what an immigration lawyer does
(sincere thanks as always to the actual wizards at @NIPNLG & @immcounsel for getting this advisory out on the latest effort from the Board of Immigration Appeals to ignore the Supreme Court's affirmation of Congress's extremely basic notice requirements)
"immigration law? isn't that mostly just filling out forms?"

I sincerely love 99% of my clients, but at least once a week the other 1% are starting to make me want to give up my law license and everything I've worked to build and make a new life for myself at sea. I can't today. I hope you can.
pre-pandemic my judge of client character was whether they could respect the week I take in July during which I am unavailable for anything other than a genuine emergency. This month it is whether they understand what it means to operate severely understaffed due to COVID
as it has everywhere else, the virus finally made it to our office in waves after all our precautions. it feels like managing a busy diner on a Friday night with one person in the kitchen and one waiter. For three weeks. I am so tired. I can't sleep.

I don't ever enjoy watching anyone encounter our criminal punishment system for the first time, is a thing I would have said a couple of minutes ago
Enjoying the occasional super entitled white person encounter a system they fairly assumed isn't supposed to be for them seems like a fair exception maybe, especially when they aren't actually locked up and asking for something this ridiculous in a case of so much public interest
Thinking of the client who was denied release from ICE custody and condemned to die in Honduras by an immigration judge for breaking into an empty dive bar at 3 AM in the coldest part of a brutal Boston winter
