This is purely to hold myself accountable when I'm tempted to return, not because I think anyone cares, but goodbye Twitter / X. I know CEOs don't generally become successful by being empaths, but I guess I'd say there are gradations?

So grateful to the @LSCatHarvardLaw for the opportunity to work with Massachusetts Veterans and represent them at the Massachusetts State House earlier this week.

[Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School @LSCatHarvardLaw]

Kudos to 3Ls Nathan Lowry & David Paul for their compelling testimony on 11/13 before the Mass. Joint Cmte on Veterans & Fed. Affairs re the urgent need to modernize the Ch. 115 safety net program. Drawing on their rep. of Vet Clinic clients, they made a powerful case for reform.

[David Paul @DPDirects]

@LSCatHarvardLaw It was an honor to represent LSC and our clients!

Am i wrong to think this legislation could, like, change everything?

A win for justice in Boston yesterday. So glad I got to watch excellent DOJ attorneys in action this week as they secured a bribery conviction in a case I've been tracking since my internship with @TheJusticeDept last year. https://t.co/WwKtvQCiNR

@CohenProf @PostLive @Philips @SecBecerra @CTurlington @Kathie_JosephMD @HowardU @washingtonpost Such important insights! Bravo, @CohenProf !

[David Paul @DPDirects]

@CultureHouse Haha pre-eminence? What a world you must live in.

[David Paul @DPDirects]

Without question the most fulfilling moment in my time at @Harvard_Law thus far, getting to advocate in court for a Massachusetts veteran who was being deprived of what they rightfully earned. @HLS_OCP @LSCatHarvardLaw

We can’t wait to welcome our new fall semester clinical students—and to welcome back our Advanced clinical students. Let’s go fight for justice together! https://t.co/vkjAc5sPqS

@LSCatHarvardLaw Best clinic!

@VoiceTeacherNYC @sarahnparkin @AGMusicalArtist I agree on the AGMA piece. But given how many non-union houses there are in the U.S., I also believe that opera companies must do their part.

[David Paul @DPDirects]

@SarcasticCupcak Totally correct. Don’t recall saying that.

David Daniels is now a convicted felon who admitted sexually assaulting an aspiring opera singer.  This horrible case raises so many important problems with how we train young classical performers in this country.  A quick, non-comprehensive🧵…

[David Paul @DPDirects]

@VoiceTeacherNYC @sarahnparkin @AGMusicalArtist Without diminishing your point about @AGMusicalArtist and it’s fecklessness, it’s the opera companies that matter on accountability. And they’re terrible at it. I give them another year before they start reengaging Grigolo…

[David Paul @DPDirects]

@VoiceTeacherNYC That’s an easy one.

@kathoderaytube @nytimes What was unexpected? The plea?

(With credit to @classicalbeat for flagging these issues for years while far too many people ignored her).

…to RUN TRAINING PROGRAMS well after acquiring reputations that should have given any CEO pause.  And nobody had a problem with that… until things grew too hot.  There’s a lot of responsibility to go around here, and, sadly, a lot of reasons to assume things haven’t changed.
