Gender, immigrant, and worker justice. #Chronicpain but still out here. All animals are my favorite. Berkeley Law '20. She/her.

I think we all want off the ride that is 2020. In a year filled with them, another huge loss.

The nation has lost a great hero in the fight for equal justice & a legal legend for the ages—on & off the Court. Tonight, we send thoughts & prayers to her family. Rest in Power, Justice Ginsburg

And if said lawyer just “made up a rule and applied it to get some partial credit” as we are told to do on the bar exam, that would be unethical and potentially malpractice. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bar examiners and senior lawyers seem stuck on the idea that "this summer is just a little more stressful for everyone--so no big deal to take a bar exam. Toughen up!" The CDC, not known for exaggeration, says otherwise: https://t.co/4vLapnInnr 1/2

California Gov. @GavinNewsom said there are 367 known fires in California, 23 of which are considered major fires.

"The prospect of that number going up is very real," he said.

@senatemajldr Domestic workers, like Leticia, do the essential work of caring for our families & can't wait for relief. Please #DoYourJob & pass relief that keeps families #SafeAtHome!

A fellow #ILbarexam taker is going to be taking the exam 38 weeks pregnant. She asked for an accommodation of additional bathroom breaks. She was denied and told her options were to take the exam IN PERSON or wait until February. #DiplomaPrivilegeNow

CA Feb 2020 Bar Takers who scored 1390+ must take the exam again despite the CA Supreme Court permanently lowering the cut score to 1390. Lawyers, law students, bar takers, and public officials please consider/sign this petition: https://t.co/Q0ed6htc7O #barexam2020

"If the bar exam protected the public ... we should expect to see a substantially higher rate of misconduct in states that do not require the exam or whose bar exam is substantially easier. Given that this is not what we see, the bar ... fails at its essential, stated purpose ...

I am somehow just seeing this article now, but woah!

Data Point: The Bar Exam Does Not Protect the Public https://t.co/FILXlt1iTw

"... it’s patently obvious that the bar exam is not protecting the public from a flood of incompetence." #DiplomaPrivilegeNow

@XicanaRebelde @XicanaRebelde thank you for your incredibly clear questions to the CalBar on the current call. You poise and advocacy in these wild times are phenomenal!

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

Yaqui sent us this vid of the strawberry harvest in CA. Workers like Yaqui pick & sort according to size & color, leaving the less ripe berries to pick when they return in 2-3 days. Workers are paid by piece rate so you will often see them running in between tasks. #WeFeedYou

What I've seen from helping folks apply for asylum is how tough the process already is--it does not need to be made tougher. I especially question raising the standard of proof in credible fear proceedings. Please learn more and comment! #immigrants #asylum

Trump’s new asylum rule could mean a death sentence for thousands of refugees. Today 7/15 is the LAST DAY to make your voice heard! Please submit a public comment today: https://t.co/REYQHKtTK2 #SaveAsylum

All because they don't want to give up $$$, not because of consumer protection.

What consumers? Only the ones that can afford expensive legal advice. Most, average consumers just have to muddle through life without legal advice. How consumer friendly is that?

[SP @sarahapike]

Ppl need these additional funds right now, especially when they're often waiting weeks for UI payments due to backlogs. I have been on the phone with many stressed workers these past weeks who don't know how they'll pay their bills #unemployment

[Jeff Stein @jstein_sun]

GOP is signaling they'll accept some extension of unemployment benefits - just not the $600/week

That leads to a huge q for Dems: What do they accept?

An extra $400? $300? $200?

Remember: If no deal gets done, the additional benefit goes away July 25
