Fast walker; slow boil. Public defense attorney.

No, autocorrect, if I meant “defiantly” I would type that, I’m not an idiot. What I meant was definitititely.

Executing Marcellus Williams is not a flaw of the system, it is the function of the system. Abolition now.

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

This is a lie. If he cared about these issues, we’d have court reform and a legislative stopgap by now. Instead we have the white supremacist court that has always acutely served the discreet interests of white supremacist men like him, and no one else.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

We’re going to stand up for the women of America.

We’re going to protect contraception and IVF.

And we are going to restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land.

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

@WaqarVick Agreed, but am very curious about this judge’s record. How often has she made such swift and finite pro-defense decisions when the defendant was anyone other than the richest and most famous person to ever enter her jurisdiction?

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

The Ivy League isn’t bad for being built by slave labor & actively upholding white supremacy for centuries. It’s bad cause it doesn’t punish people for protesting against the last surviving Anglo-American theocratic colony which systemically & deliberately oppresses brown people

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

@mynameisjro These delusional tirades are casting a really dangerous die. By catastrophizing a wholly imagined threat, they’re making room for deniers down the line to say “see there they to again, hysterical as usual” when actual dire threats do arise.

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

Is the “deafening silence” in the room with us now?

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

I don’t know why a book would ever require a forward. Just write the actual f’in book, we’ll catch on!

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

Not me perpetually triple-clicking to get incompetent persons in line for pizza to giddy up from a slow walk to a cantor …

I’ve seen way too many adults sucking lollipops out on the street lately. Did y’all just leave the bank?

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

I need to expand my following horizons. All I see these days are bleak ass 15-tweet threads on how irreversibly busted the US legal system is & sassy takes about the shenanigans of purportedly famous people who sound made up.

@dieworkwear Big “it’s actually ableist to not support child slave labor” energy.

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

@OrangePaulp They’ll be sending those out with the student loan cancellation notices.

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

@YuckyTom Ableist as usual 🙄

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

@J_Michael_Mull [purringly swats a full glass of water off the counter for no reason] Catboy? Ha! What a ridiculous thought.

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

@J_Michael_Mull It’s a vague distance memory. I think it’s when I tossed that godforsaken tacky ass blue diamond into the sea?

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

@judith_ism Stephania is the closest thing to universal healthcare we will ever have.

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

The “allergies or Covid?” to “acne or monkeypox?” pipeline …

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

@jacksonbarnett That might as well have been a dentistry exam for all the law I spotted on it

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

Jury selection Obama: uhhh let me voir dire

[Matt Scott Jacobs @mattsjacobs]

Did the judge from My Cousin Vinny write this policy?

[Brianne @seizethecarpe]

Totally excited to spend time tonight trying to guess what qualifies for this completely clear + sufficiently definite rule.
Because guys, it’s cool: they *declare* it is clear. 🧵
