Today, I am proud to announce that my firm Farrar & Ball has filed suit against the City of St. Paul for the death of Yia Xiong, an elderly Hmong war refugee who was killed by St. Paul Police officers.

Yia Xiong’s death highlights how law enforcement has ignored modern reforms in favor of hyper-aggressive and overly militaristic styles of policing, placing us all in danger.

Today, my co-counsel Greg Adler and I filed suit against Fox, Newsmax, Univision, Timcast, Steven Crowder, Owen Shroyer, Simon Ateba, and Hollywood Unlocked for falsely portraying our innocent client as a neo-Nazi mass shooter. On May 6, 2023, an individual began shooting visitors to the Allen Premium Outlets, a large outdoor mall in Allen, Texas. In a matter of minutes, five adults and three children were killed, and seven other victims were wounded.

I’m starting a thread of ads I’m now getting on here, and let’s begin with this horrifying helmet thing that constantly appears on my timeline. I cannot escape this thing.

A quick open letter to NY Jets quarterback and massive weirdo Aaron Rodgers, from me, an attorney who for many years represented several Sandy Hook parents... 🧵

Hey Aaron, not sure if you’ll see this, but I figure the best chance is to put it here on Twitter, where it will hopefully be sandwiched between a tweet claiming the measles vaccine makes children gay and an ad for a cryptocurrency scam.

Just finished watching the SXSW screening of this film, which is soon to appear on HBO. For six years I have had a very cautious relationship with the media because almost nobody gets this story right. But @danreed1000 delivered a masterpiece. Let me tell you about it... 🧵

The court footage is stunning. I've never seen a courtroom filmed with such intimacy. But it was the parents who made this film what it is. Dan let them tell their story in their own way. It's deeply personal in a way that most Sandy Hook coverage has never been.

To answer some FAQs I've gotten:

1. Yes, I am aware of Musk's tweet.

2. Yes, it is a remarkably similar situation to my client Ben Brody, who sued Musk a few months ago after being falsely accused of a crime in one of Musk's tweets.

3. Yes, I'm interested in talking to him. And now a quick FAQ for some misinformed people arriving in replies:

1. “But didn’t he attack cops?” No, that’s the whole point, he wasn’t involved. He wasn't even there.

2. “Well, he’s still here illegally.” No, he’s an asylum-seeker, and he’s using the legal process.

In 2018, I filed the first defamation lawsuits against Alex Jones, ultimately discrediting him in court. Today, I am proud to announce I have filed suit against yet another notorious disseminator of false information: The owner of this platform, Elon Musk.

This new lawsuit was filed on behalf of Ben Brody, a 22-year-old recent college graduate who has been forced to take action due to Musk’s astonishingly reckless conduct here on Twitter.

Want to know where this shit started? It started with Sandy Hook parents. My clients have dealt with this nonsense every single day for over 10 years. 🧵 My client Neil Heslin was labeled a "crisis actor" within hours of being featured on InfoWars. Here's a meme claiming he was a fireman killed on 9/11. There were similar claims for virtually all the parents, or at the least the ones who have publicly available photographs.
