Montana became the first state to pass the Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act, which requires the government to get a warrant before buying our data from data brokers. This is a huge win for our right to privacy and we're urging Congress to follow Montana's lead.

Time for another musical digital security PSA. This one is for the 90s kids who need to make their passwords stronger

[email protected] Pres. Chris Wellborn in NYT: "American democracy 'rests upon the independence of the judiciary.' 'Retaliatory action from the executive branch that appears to undermine this foundation demands our unwavering scrutiny and a resounding response,' he added." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

I was both trained through these programs and had the privilege to train others through these programs. This is such a huge loss for states like Idaho that don't have the resources to provide the broad training necessary. Our criminal justice system is weaker for this loss.

Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest.

1/4 Check out the amici brief filed by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (@NACDLorg) and the New York Council of Defense Lawyers in Perkins Coie v. DOJ. It's a powerful statement in support of Perkins Coie's motion for summary judgment. www.nacdl.org/brief/Perkin...

🧵 The New York City Bar Association (@NYCBarAssociation.bsky.social), along with several other bar associations, including the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (@NACDL.org), have issued a joint statement defending the rule of law and the independence of the legal profession. (1/5)

Trans and nonbinary people are essential to the movement for sexual and reproductive health and rights. They should be free to live authentically — with dignity and respect. Trans and nonbinary communities deserve that and more. 💞🏳️‍⚧️ #TransDayofVisibility #TDOV #ImForPP 🎨: @liberaljane.bsky.social

Incarceration has a wide-reaching and long-lasting effect on families. People with incarcerated immediate family members are less likely to report good physical and mental health and less likely to rate as “thriving” in terms of overall well-being. buff.ly/7T8ZguW

Thank you McColl Center for hosting @nacdl.org and 2025 Midwinter Seminar attendees. It was a wonderful talk from Balam Bartolomé.

Monday's ceremony in Poland is regarded as the likely last major observance of Auschwitz's liberation that any notable number of survivors will be able to attend, due to their advanced ages.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is important to remember the past, even the worst parts....especially the worst parts. www.ushmm.org/remember/int...

President Trump has signed 9* separate executive orders that herald sweeping changes to the immigration system and to communities inside the US. We broke down: - What they do - What's happened already - What's to come - What this all means. Follow with me for a thread on what you need to know 🧵

“[E]qual justice for all demands more than simply the absence of overt bias. DEI in the criminal defense bar isn’t just about compliance; it’s about cultivating a culture where every voice, regardless of background, is heard, valued, and empowered.” -Kobie Flowers apnews.com/live/trump-p...

🧵 Welcome racial justice news and kudos to President Biden for setting a record on most pardons & commutations in presidential history! The Nation’s Criminal Defense Bar Applauds President Biden’s Commutations for Individuals Serving Harsh Sentences for Drug Crimes www.nacdl.org/newsrelease/...

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

I wouldn’t exactly call it “joyful,” but this @lilianasegura.bsky.social piece on the death row reaction to Biden’s commutations is about as close to Christmas cheer as death penalty reporting gets. theintercept.com/2024/12/24/b...

"By commuting the sentences of individuals on death row to life without parole, President Biden has provided a measure of justice in our inhumane system.” @justicedragon.bsky.social So proud of the advocacy of @nacdl.org and so many others on this issue. www.nacdl.org/newsrelease/...

"I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level." Amazing. What a day. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

BREAKING President Biden is considering commuting sentences of most, if not all, of the 40 men on federal death row. If he does commute, they would serve life without parole. A broad coalition of religious and civil-rights groups has been pressing him to take the step. https://bit.ly/4iLlKfG

Another example of data backing up what we already know. People of color are most impacted by the criminal legal system.

Have you received an email from an alleged hacker with an attached PDF that includes your name, a picture of your house, and a threat to leak embarrassing info or photos to your friends and family? Don’t panic. 🧵 (1/7)

No only is what happened to this women and families unconscionable, it will make doctors and women more fearful of using necessary treatments.

This is your regular reminder that data brokers, especially Fog Data Sciences, which sells location data from cell phones to cops, must be destroyed: www.404media.co/location-dat...

Dangerous tools like Locate X can track abortion-seekers across state lines. It’s time for lawmakers to take action.

Clemency for people not turkeys!

Today, 54 people who received clemency from President Biden and the previous four administration sent a letter to President Biden urging him to lead with justice and mercy and grant clemency now! Clemency is his last opportunity to build a strong legacy on reform! Read the full letter here!

There is time to commute all federal death sentences.
