@PONDband this is my friend and she’s cool and it’d be cool if you played the song

[alyssa faszl @amfasz]

@PONDband if you could play Fire in the Water in Denver tonight it would make me very happy 🙃

I object to the bar exam's existence, but I am still celebrating passing today!

[Deborah Rookey @RookRookey]

Now that I have a law degree, I am proud to announce that I still don't know if that would be a crime

[Deborah Rookey @RookRookey]

Once I was picking friends up from a museum and a gaggle of teens climbed into my car. Turns out there's an Uber in Chicago with my exact license plate number different state. I almost drove the teens home they were so nice and confused but then I thought that might be a crime.

Just curious if anyone checked the date to make sure they sent out the 2022 test not 1922.

BREAKING: Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge has just certified that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe. Abortion is now immediately illegal in Arkansas.

Abortion is now illegal in six states -- Arkansas, South Dakota, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri and Oklahoma.

How do I focus on bar prep when the institution I'm I guess trying to join is actively attacking me?

[Deborah Rookey @RookRookey]

Thrilled to announce that, in August, I'll be joining the team at the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center, representing unaccompanied children. I just spent 3 years learning how broken our legal systems are. It's finally time to do something about it.

My initials are now D.J.R.J.D

This might seem like a complaint, and it is. But, as someone who has spent years struggling to get people to take my disability seriously, I'm celebrating this partial-victory.
And in BOLE's defense, the 1 section is the one I anticipate having the least physical issues with.

[Deborah Rookey @RookRookey]

Turned in my last essay of law school last night, so naturally I went to bed in debilitating pain, only to wake up to a notice from the New York Bar granting accommodations for 2 out of 3 sections.

[Deborah Rookey @RookRookey]

It only took about 50 pages of medical docs, a dr visit to get a letter written, and over a month of waiting for an answer, during which I had to go ahead and register for the bar because there was a deadline and just hope they'd grant me the tools I need to physically take it.

I'm currently #2 in the @fivefourpod March Madness Bracket challenge. For context, I have never watched an episode of college basketball in my life.

Today, the Arkansas Senate passed HB1570, which prohibits necessary healthcare for transgender teenagers. This bill flat breaks my heart. 1/

My remarks to the Canvassing Board last night:

[Joe F Spaulding 🦉 @beyond_process]

.@RookRookey correctly calls the Boards' actions unconscionable.

She observed election workers performing well under extreme duress, most of which attributable to the actions of right wing agitators and election disruptors inside and outside the TCF Center in Detroit on E-Day.

[Kayla Ruble @RubleKB]

In a late night twist, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers unanimously agrees to certify the results, on the condition Secretary of State’s office conduct a comprehensive audit of the unexplained, out of balance precincts across the county

[Deborah Rookey @RookRookey]

@beyond_process The board's actions today are a subversion of Democracy. This is unprecedented, racist, and immoral.

I will add that I am NOT speaking on behalf of any organization other than myself and will only speak to my personal observations. It's a big hall. If I was on the other side of the room when something happened, I will not comment on it.

[Deborah Rookey @RookRookey]

Hi! I never tweet, but there's misinformation going around about the Detroit TCF Center votes. I spent 31 hours inside that room in the last 3 days. Please ask me any questions about it. I'll say up front that I saw NO conduct that makes me question the legitimacy of the tally.

[Deborah Rookey @RookRookey]

@nipnik23 I mean, I have my own political opinions. But I was not there on behalf of a partisan organization.
