A few weeks ago, I was officially sworn in to the Illinois bar.

I was fortunate enough to be sworn in by United States District Judge Robert Jonker, who was my dad’s sponsor at his swearing in ceremony 28 years ago….the same ceremony at which this picture of me in (1/3)

Louder than the boos for the Spurs, louder than any boos I've heard in this building in a while.

[Josh Hart @joshhart]

What a dumbass.

@ChrisNicholsNFI I lived there up until June of last year, so my time there is recent, just to be clear.

Spencer Pratt making the LA mayor runoff was a fun headline, but why is everyone acting shocked he ultimately won’t win?

When it’s time to vote for who runs a $12B city budget, manages infrastructure, and keeps services running, people choose competence over clout.

Local races

@ChrisNicholsNFI This guy even says in the title of the video he spent all of his time in skid row.

Skid row is, indeed, out of control.

That is very very from from “virtually all areas” of a city as vast as Los Angeles being “in deep decline.”

Most of LA is wonderful.

[Jackson Dean Pacific @PacificJD]

@ChrisNicholsNFI Yes! Lived out there for a little over a year. Loved it. Moved for work but I’m always daydreaming about going back!

LA city government, but offers nothing real.

People see that.

Perhaps if he were to instead spend some time on the city council and learn more first, he could step into this role. He’s doesn’t seem like a bad dude.

He’s just not there yet. And ppl see that.

[Jackson Dean Pacific @PacificJD]

are much more sober than national ones.

Much less a popularity contest than a job interview.

People are shrewd enough to see that he has no real understanding of how city government works.

He parrots people’s (legitimate) frustrations with

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

@porterstansb Totally get it. But I feel less gloom since it was just a primary. I use the word “just,” lightly.

At the end of the day, this is the way the Republicans are moving.

Americans can still reject that. (I, too, am skeptical they will….but we have to hold out hope and push for it)

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

So there you have it. If you lead a campaign against powerful pedophiles, you get drummed out of the Republican Party.

@zackbshapiro (And I’m very much pro AI for lawyers. Claude is a huge part of my daily workflow).

[Jackson Dean Pacific @PacificJD]

@zackbshapiro I tried a few of the tools like “contract review” for fun.

It was ok at best.

Suitable (perhaps) to rely on if you have a small vendor agreement with total consideration of $1k

Less need to pay $400 an hour for a review in that case.

Lots of holes and incomplete explanations.

@GsuGrinding @mickey_d682 I feel bad for his kid in that you can’t choose your parents. An innocent kid doesn’t deserve a dad like this.

But that kid is better off / safer is this guy is locked up.

His kid will spend the rest of his life trying to distance himself from him.

@MagneticNorse “Shoulda shot him.” Yea…totally sane response to retail theft 🥴

@FreightAlley I think that we are going to be the ones that FAFO, unfortunately.

Medium and long term, we’re going to feel the sting of this deeply incapable administration.

[Jackson Dean Pacific @PacificJD]

@Jamie_Weinstein Doesn’t their plan include things like closure of Gulf bases, restitution, formal recognition of its right to enrich uranium, and lifting of all US sanctions?

Agree on the “we’ll see” part. But I don’t to see how this has the shape of a US victory.

What am I missing?

[Jackson Dean Pacific @PacificJD]

@9mmsmg almost always make the wrong call in a critical moment.

On that, we can rely.

[Jackson Dean Pacific @PacificJD]

@9mmsmg I’ve been told since 2016 that “oh you’re just being dramatic, Trump wont actually do X horrible thing”….

Only for Trump to do X horrible thing, and then also do Y even more horrible thing that I didn’t even conceive of when worrying about X.

Trump is consistent: he will …
