1/2 👏👏👏With the passage of HB 7041, Connecticut is now leading the nation for judicial transparency, a win for state courts and for working people.

Connecticut sets the standard on judicial nominations data collection. Passage of HB 7041 extends the state's leadership in nominations transparency by becoming the first to require reporting on the professional backgrounds of judicial applicants and approved candidates www.law.com/ctlawtribune...

Wait there are going to be parachute jumps? I thought my unit's proficiency jumps in Iraq were embarrassing, but this is a whole different level

Elon has the pee tapes

We are thrilled to announce that @aywarhiannon.bsky.social @notalawyer.bsky.social & @fleerultra.bsky.social will be joining this year's Convening for a student organizing panel & live presentation of @fivefourpod.bsky.social #PPP25 Register today! peoplesparity.org/event/people...

Just putting this out there @kylietcheung.bsky.social, but an actual journalist doing a piece on the discrepancy between Posobiec's rhetoric and his actual military career (and maybe how things could play out now that Trump and Musk are on the outs) would be amazing bsky.app/profile/sken...

Former government-approved dick watcher weighs in on a pissing contest. This could be the first time that Posobiec has actual expertise in what he's talking about

This is fucking wild

Again, congrats to the students in the Supreme Court clinic at UVA Law for bravely taking on this Straight Rights Matter case, so that Stephen Miller and America First Legal could litigate something else instead ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Something that I can't understand about the public perceptions of people like Trump and Musk: do you really think that if you had been given all of the same advantages that these dipshits had that you couldn't have done at least as well?

Between Lamont maintaining SEEC independence and Rob Sampson opposing the state destruction of property used in street takeovers bill, I am very disoriented by my new (infrequent, sometimes) allies

The whole "silent majority" campaign leading to a Nixon win has broken the brains of so many people who are now convinced that, actually, everyone agrees with me, but I'm the only one brave enough to admit it

I wrote about the Constitution for Teen Vogue. Tl;dr: what we think the Constitution means matters a hell of a lot more than what Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas think it means.

BREAKING: State courts win! 🎉 Connecticut unanimously passed the judicial nominations transparency bill! The Pro-People Judiciary Coalition, led by PPP UConn, championed the bill which makes CT's judicial nominations process the most transparent in the nation. #StateCourts #CTPol

Forgot how good it is to see a win up on the board! Connecticut will now lead the nation in judicial selection commission reporting, including compiling data on professional background so we can make sure that the people's lawyers have a fair shot at judgeships after passing HB 7041

Through multiple administrations, the VA had been underfunded but still met all of my needs. Between appointment and prescription delivery delays, I've had to move onto private insurance to deal with my service related injuries. The VA under Trump 2.0 is a fucking travesty

⏳ Time is running out in the #CTleg session. Bring H.B. 7041, the judicial nominations transparency bill to a vote. @bobduffct.bsky.social @iamgarywinfield.bsky.social

Really upset to realize that I've lost access to the pictures that would go with this, but I've been thinking a lot about Walter Mulligan, Anthony Mongillo, and Issac Sims this Memorial Day, as I always do. Love you all and hope to be reunited someday

Trump’s racist trolling of South Africa’s president today is perhaps the most racist WH moment since Woodrow Wilson screened Birth of a Nation there in 1915.

So glad to see HB 7041 pass the Connecticut House today! Critical step in breaking the corporate and prosecutorial dominance of the bench by requiring reports on professional backgrounds of all judicial applicants and approved candidates to deter bias against pro-people attorneys reviewed by the JSC

Fun update: apparently VA prescription delivery takes forever now too, so I've been off of the medication that keeps my brain from trying to destroy itself for about a week 🙃

Incredibly excited to share that @ositanwanevu.com, contributing editor at the New Republic and author of "The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding," will be a #PPP25 keynote speaker! Register for this year’s convening here: peoplesparity.org/event/people...

If Trump successfully installs his heinously corrupt henchman on the 3rd Circuit, it will be because SENATE DEMOCRATS refused to confirm Biden's nominee to this very seat—based on their own Islamophobia and credulous embrace of bigoted GOP smears. Just a total nightmare top to bottom.

He has a taste for blood now

On the day that the Supreme Court is hearing arguments in Trump’s effort to overturn the Constitution by Executive Order, I cannot tell you how good it feels to be spending my time in planning meetings for the @peoplesparity.bsky.social convening. If you haven’t registered to join us yet:
