Welp. I’m not going anywhere now. 🗽🌈♥️✊🏾☮️ 🌱 Favorite case study at the moment: Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971)

@WPSDLocal6 If I see one more news report calling this a “comprehensive risk assessment” versus what it **actually** is which is an INCOMPLETE draft and one that is “subject to change” as per Gov @GavinNewsom’s office as of last night, I swear I am going to lose it!!

[Vanessa Velasquez @VanessaVelas]

I cannot conceive of any ethical, legal or logical reason WHY this *incomplete* report would be permissible under any circumstances. Sending all the strength to @markgeragos and his team, the brothers’ family and loved ones. It’s about to get even more real. 🙏🏽

[Vanessa Velasquez @VanessaVelas]

Let’s be VERY clear here. The “risk assessment report” which @LADAOffice & @NathanHochmanDA in an act of desperation sought to introduce in the #MenendezBrothers resentencing hearing today is INCOMPLETE, a draft which is “subject to change” per @CAgovernor, and furthermore…

[Vanessa Velasquez @VanessaVelas]

@WPSDLocal6 @GavinNewsom @NathanHochmanDA @markgeragos Furthermore, I *cannot* believe the @CAgovernor’s office & the Board would allow this INCOMPLETE report to land in the DA’s office for ANY reason whatsoever. It should not in any way be permissible in today’s resentencing hearing and I hope @GavinNewsom makes the right call here

[Vanessa Velasquez @VanessaVelas]

@WPSDLocal6 @GavinNewsom It is appalling that @NathanHochmanDA & his office would try to leverage information from said report, and not have the same **draft incomplete** report available to @markgeragos, his team and the judge. Ridiculous. Unethical. And totally unacceptable. Hochman should be recused!!

[Vanessa Velasquez @VanessaVelas]

@DeadlineDominic WENT TO THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL!! How can he *not* be biased?? This whole thing is a sham! He should be removed from the case and his entire office should be investigated.

@ForestHillsStdm @thekillers What about Sunday???

[Vanessa Velasquez @VanessaVelas]

You’re never too important to be nice to people.

How about we all jump into indies now? Content creators create a film & TV-making system alongside the studio & streaming networks? So there is actual competition. 🧵

That being said—that was one brilliant effin film. Hats off.

If anyone is feeling left out of their office cliqué or friend group this summer, just know no one feels more hurt or dismayed than any A or B list, white, male actor in Hollywood who was not invited to join the boys club that is the #Oppenheimer cast. We see you 😘

@CappadoniaE @NYMag @MollyJongFast @MsPackyetti …and did you exchange a walk -on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? 🎸

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

A train full of people who would rather look away, in a city whose leaders already did, saw Neely’s plea for help as an attack — and Daniel Penny’s deadly chokehold as necessary to preserve the comfort they see as their birthright. @MsPackyetti writes https://t.co/aJoFYKWDnO

[Vanessa Velasquez @VanessaVelas]

I had high hopes for our first female governor of New York. But as @GovKathyHochul herself said, “there are consequences for behavior.” Misusing those “billion” dollars for mental health services? Criminalizing people who were recycled through the system? Consequences for that?

Here is Gov. Hochul's full remarks Wednesday on the death of Jordan Neely

@GenericUser2019 @osrs_dds @atticusflynch @TurquoiseOceanB No, Carlson’s position as a white man with a platform and ability to get away with spewing actual garbage from his mouth and still get paid, is what makes him extremely privileged.

[Vanessa Velasquez @VanessaVelas]

@ABC his name is Jordan. Not John. Please correct this. So ridiculous.
