Please let us know when we are officially Russia. As a political journalist and advocate for good policy I am scared to use my voice for the first time in my life.

This made me cry. I have so little faith left in most of humanity. Mr. Rogers said look for the helpers. You are clearly one ❤️

do you have a venmo or ko-fi or something that people who'd like to help can send money to for covering operating expenses?

Where you need backup, I'm not an attorney but I'm a Notary Public in Chicago and if people need help with sorting out powers of attorney, etc, if I can get there by cta bus I don't judge and I don't charge.

lobo92345.bsky.social•51 days ago

May I repost this?

wendyzski.bsky.social•51 days ago

Of course. I've been posting it since November! I'm also a legal marriage officiant in Illinois if somebody feels the need to nail their paperwork down.

Through bluesky shares, I ended up doing a Big Gay Furry Wedding at Midwest Furfest in December that will be a joyous memory as long as I live

I'm no longer physically capable of taking to the streets like last time, but I have a notary stamp and a bus pass and this is how I choose to resist this time around.

I am also a notary public and would be happy to help. Also any office or admin assistance you need I’d be happy to help.

mutant187.bsky.social•48 days ago

Would you consider helping a disabled vet, who lives in another state, with a legal (financial) matter?
For whatever he can pay—which is probably nothing, or MAYBE a very small amount on a contingency basis?
And if not, could you recommend other attorneys (including in other states) who do this?

That's awesome. I'm in Kankakee (about 35 min south of Chi). I don't do a lot of physical protesting anymore and lean more toward strategy, GOTV and seeking new leadership. I can write a pretty impactful stump speech when

I'm on board with a candidate or cause and I know what all the don't are and why.
I plan on speaking at our next city hall meeting because we have a major thoroughfare (sp?) on the East side of town that has been "under construction for 8.5 years! But the white people in Kankakee (west siders)

I also (in Illinois!) happily review leases for free and provide free "know your rights" trainings for protests and actions.

If you need these, please email me!

Do you know anyone who could help a Munchausen by Proxy survivor get out of a guardianship forced upon them over a decade ago?

leftistlawyer.com•51 days ago

I would need a lot more information than what can be provided on social media. If they're in Illinois, have them email me.

mithos343.bsky.social•51 days ago

They're not, but thank you.

For people who are curious:

In the United States, law licenses are generally state by state. I am only licensed in Illinois, and getting licensed in another state is a lengthy (think months or more) and expensive (think literally thousands of dollars) process that I can't afford. So Illinois it is.

leftistlawyer.com•51 days ago

I know it's frustrating that I don't take cases outside Illinois. But please understand that this isn't something I can make an exception for. Practicing law without a license in the state where your case is can cost me my law license, and with it hurt all of the people depending on me.

rolandguiscard.bsky.social•51 days ago

Do you guys need paralegals or similar to work remotely? I'm based out of MKE.

I have a law degree and bar pass but just work as a courier.

I'll work cheap, and free when I can, if it helps people.

leftistlawyer.com•51 days ago

I will be honest: it's just me, my wife when she is free from her own job, and our pet birds.

A name your own price lawyer can't afford things like a staff, or a physical office lol. It's just me and my car and my laptop, and I go wherever I'm needed.

leftistlawyer.com•51 days ago

I won't lie, I could use the help, but I won't hire anyone until I can pay a living wage, and I can't even pay myself one right now.

rolandguiscard.bsky.social•50 days ago

Do you have a website or e-mail? I'd like to at least send you my resume and other contact info, in the off chance you find you can use me. Even if just for some pro bono "can you please look this up" or "can you write a letter for me real quick."

You won't be arrested for protesting fictional "genocide" in Israel or Palestine. You will be arrested if you start spitting at random Jewish students and attacking them. Which is what's happening.
In Palestine there's no such thing as trans rights, they tend to get thrown off roofs there.
