@PalmerCatSF You have had a very photogenic year, Palmer - watching the inauguration, attempts to keep humans from moving, editing legal brief, languorous stretch poses, and all the ones on the roof (the solstice was good) - but really hard to go wrong for the calendar next year.
@PalmerCatSF Happy Birthday, Palmer. Hope your 11th year will be great, and that you will continue to speak boldly for liberty and fair treatment of all beings.
Free Palmer indeed. Can't an intelligent and witty cat have a voice in the midst of the virus and January 6th deniers? And to think of this coming on the eve of his birthday...
So sad to hear of Henri's passing and the end of his films. Paw de Deux (https://t.co/8Zqj9OcAzS) such brilliant existential expression. More can be found through his Wikipedia entry: https://t.co/5bkKE4KABz
Oh no! Henri was the original tuxedo cat of the internet & one of my inspirations. Thanks to him & the thieving filmmaker for their many funny nihilistic cat videos.
Closing DJJ is necessary @CAgovernor@GavinNewsom, but MUST include strong oversight, accountability, and protections against transfers to adult prison. We must build community-based support for youth! #CloseDJJtheRightWay
In signing AB 1423 into law, Governor Gavin Newsom has stemmed the unfairness that happens when a young person is sent to adult court on charges that later turn out to be overblown or untrue. https://t.co/exZGZPdjNF ; https://t.co/HXhWmo3ceq
FINALLY. Every prison should do this. Cats make EVERYTHING better. Prison In Indiana Accepts Shelter Cats And They Transform Prisoners Lives https://t.co/AwmnpVnk3n via @https://twitter.com/tweet4eic
Love being a part of this amazing community - cannot imagine a better life's work than this one -- fighting for young people to experience fair treatment, compassion and a path to healthy adulthood.
So unfortunate that California D.A.s still equate prison time with public safety. Now they want us to go back to putting middle school children - 14 & 15 year-olds - in the adult system. Great piece by Erwin Chemerinsky on constitutionality of SB 1391: https://t.co/jo23CoUbDr
Celebrating our work at the Pacific Juvenile Defender Center with a new website. Lots of info about who we are, the work we have done, and what we hope to do going forward. Resources for families, defenders and the public. Check it out: https://t.co/5Drdufph8J
With nowhere to go, kids on probation stay locked in Ventura County juvenile hall: THE WAIT TAKES A TOLL ON KIDS — ONE EVERYONE INVOLVED WOULD LIKE TO END. AND IT'S A PROBLEM THAT COULD GET WORSE.

@SueLBurrell of PJDC:
“There are so many things that ... we’ve just come to accept in our justice system.
One of them is that delay is just built in or it’s inevitable. It really isn’t. If you want to fix it, you can, and I think there are good reasons to fix this.”
Retired Superior Court judge and former senior deputy district attorney both urge @JerryBrownGov to sign Senate Bill 1391, which would prevent 14- and 15-year-olds from going to adult criminal court, read here: https://t.co/JKfyVgdTYW
