Idk who needs to hear this but being a Public Defender isn’t a stepping stone to being an attorney. It’s not like residency for doctors. Public Defenders are attorneys.

As much as the criminal legal system likes to posture that judges are nonpartisan, they are not. Look at the Supreme Court right now. It is terrifying and telling to see judges/people running to be a judge alongside a candidate that aligns himself with Trump.

One thing about food deserts is that they are by design and not by accident. Once you start there and you realize there are no healthy food choices, the shut down of grocery stores in the area, and lack of fresh food choices it’s a good start for assessing the challenges.

Today, on the precedent of the 60th anniversary of Gideon, we are at the Capitol, fighting to keep $50 million from being cut from the Public Defender Pilot Program grant. We need to meet the promise of Gideon and #FundPublicDefense

Wrote this op-ed to alert people to the massive imbalance of funding between public defenders & prosecutors. It’s meant to be a roadmap & a battle cry. Serious about ending systemic racism in the legal system & mass incarceration then #FundPublicDefense #Gideonat60 #SpreadTheWord

"At least one migrant in the cell allegedly started the fire in protest at not being given food and water by the guards for 10 hours. Survivors say those who died did so for one reason: they could not or did not pay a $200 bribe to security guards to be released."
