The idea of “accusing someone w/o evidence” has been coming up a lot, so this legal advice for free: A WOMAN’S SWORN TESTIMONY IS EVIDENCE.

@FluteMagician @Sec_Noem @DHSgov @TheJusticeDept They’ve been firing experienced imm. judges for the *crime* of having practiced imm defense in the past. Which is to say, having immigration law experience. Themis law is dense, niche, not learned overnight. This admin just loves putting hateful morons in grownup jobs.

@BowlandBarrel is the worse, scammiest BS place. I complained about an additional 30 min being added to our tag so the waitress decided the pricing was wrong and charge 5x as much per hour. NEVER AGAIN

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

Worst experience w/ @WellsFargo. I gave a check to my contractor; teller misread # (didn’t read spelled out amt) for $50K MORE than written & withdrew that from our acct. Multiple phone calls/complaints later—8 DAYS—& they won’t commit to fixing it in under 10 business days.

Incredibly powerful & on-the-nose.

What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!

@CSalcedoShow @KenPaxtonTX Once-western? Are they eastern now?

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

@Dandanese81 @frankpascaud @ianbremmer French guy: none of us know where Florida is.
Dan: everyone everywhere knows where FL is.

Guys, STFA from Florida - it will disappoint you both! for different reasons. Or similar, I don’t know, it’s a hellhole

@ethandguertin @JudgeClayJ What’s the cause of action? How does he have legal standing?
And how is that issue relevant to this one?

@DrPaulVasquez1 @jonstewart @FPWellman Mr. Potato Head is my father. Call me PotatoHead Esq. I think I’ve earned it.

As I try unsuccessfully to fall asleep to a song I loved in college, occurred to me that not only have I not been back since I graduated (02), I will NEVER go back. Colleges should be better to rape victims.
Ok, more Sting now.

@jessicashortall This is my empt lawyer brain (pandemic days are LONG, w/ struggling clients & pissed former employees). Often no good deed goes unpunished in terms of precedent set for future application of policies. Doesn’t mean I agree w/ the policies though.

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

@jessicashortall Granting exceptions in empt policies results in inequity & bad precedent. 3 months from now Dem emp’ee quits after leave (wanting to keep leave benefits) & asks “they didn’t have to work 12 weeks after leave, why do I?”

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

@jessicashortall I’m doing Whole30, so also Dry January... good sleep is the only redeeming part of this no-sugar/grain/dairy BS.

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

@jessicashortall Is it not ok to use these words in private conversations to refer to one’s kids... even though one really loves them with all one’s heart, but the kids have REALLY been testing one? I’ll take my answer off air.

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

@tamisawyer I finally know the answer to the question I didn’t know where to ask: what if I want to listen to Black voices, but many of those voices say one voice... Ok, it’s always him... is 👎? Thank you!

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

@jessicashortall She promise to vote? And if so, DID YOU GET A PINKY SWEAR

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

@jessicashortall My friend is head of multi-generational learning at MIA - I’m sure she’d welcome your input b/c she’s been working hard on representation of non-white/European art there. (I’m probably phrasing it incorrectly, but blame me, not her, for that)

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

@jessicashortall Haven’t enjoyed reading comments on a post (tweet, whatever, don’t get Twitter) in forever.

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

@jessicashortall I applied a couple months ago but never heard back. Thinking I might reapply for position as election judge or alternate?

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

@jessicashortall SUPER racist but also doesn’t even make sense logically, which always bothers my lawyer brain.

[LegalLowell @LegalLowell]

I don’t bother looking for this administration’s “good faith basis” for its policies anymore. The face of it, othering/endangering, is always what it is.

BREAKING: Trump is proposing a rule allowing federally funded homeless shelters to turn away trans and gender non-conforming people — in the midst of the highest unemployment rates our country has seen in decades.
