Of the 94 federal district courts, 25 have never had a non-White judge. Nowhere is the disparity more jarring than in Georgia’s Southern District https://t.co/jdlvk7OSI0
Judge Pauline Newman, 96, says in an interview with @KelceeGriffis that allegations she is mentally and physically impaired are “most extraordinary fabrications and exaggerations.”

We all know about Britney Spears’ conservatorship nightmare. But she’s not the only one. ~1.5M people are living under guardianship right now, and @BLaw uncovered story after story of abuse, exploitation, greed.
Britney has the whole #FreeBritney movement behind her, but these are the stories of vulnerable people, especially people who are elderly and disabled, who don’t have a big platform to fight their court-ordered guardianships.
Britney Spears’ conservatorship dispute brought the US guardianship industry to the public eye, but more frequently it entraps thousands without a platform to fight back https://t.co/TTKBKqcf7O
