Folks, I get to be a public defender in a city I love!!!
I’m heading to Minneapolis after the bar to join the Hennepin County Public Defender’s Office as an Assistant Public Defender. I am beyond excited and more than ready to get to work.
within minutes of hanging up the phone after talking to my close friend about how grotesque and irredeemable the carceral system is i did immediately see the eric adams headline and i did immediately say out loud "let's fuckin GO" and that's on the joy of life's complexity baby
I just listened to Jeremy Swayman (who typically covers the Bruin’s crease) cover the Goo Goo Dolls on the Boston harbor with Dalton and the Sheriffs. Obviously I’m having a deeply ~Boston~ evening.
Yes we care about Palestinians but we won’t stop supplying the bombs. Yes we care about police killings but we wont stop throwing money at cops. Yes we care about educational debt but we wont forgive it. Yes we care about immigrants but won’t stop whipping people at the border.
The sheriff featured by Democrats last night is same sheriff we recently sued over taking cash from private equity-owned telecom companies to eliminate the ability of children to visit their parents in jail, on the theory that families would spend more money on monopoly calls.
