The ABA Journal published a wonderful article about my experience as a professor of law in three countries, as a mobility disabled lawyer with unique clients, and as a disabled person from the South Side of Chicago.

So you would prefer Trump running for a third term to Newsome? Or JD Vance? Hegseth? Miller? Vought?

They are all preferable to Gavin Newsome?

People who said that about Kamala Harris got us to a country with a destroyed White House. Soldiers on our streets. Bombing of random foreigners in boats.

The problem is it can never be put back. The East Wing built in 1800 is gone.

It wasn't even done in a historically responsible way. Nothing preserved for reuse or placement in a museum.

Not windows. Not doors. Not sconces. Not marble.

It was purposefully, cruelly, brutally, angrily demolished.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Every corporate sponsor who donated $ to fund the destruction of the White House should be barred from all federal contracts for 50 years.

If they intended their $ as a gift & not a bribe it won't be a problem for them. Right?

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

We’re demanding the Trump-Vance administration release records on its shocking demolition of the White House’s East Wing to build the president a ballroom.

The People's House has now been fundamentally altered. This administration must be held accountable for it.

White House expands East Wing demolition as critics decry Trump overreach

More of the structure was torn down Tuesday to make way for President Donald Trump’s planned ballroom, despite complaints about the project’s lack of transparency,

People are hurting right now with the cost of healthcare, increases in insurance, some fear losing coverage. I want to hear your stories — please share them. We need people to understand the impact of what is happening.

$20 Billion for an Argentina bank bail out to help Trump's rich friends
$173 Million for Kristi Noem's jet
$250 Million for a ballroom only billionaires have access to, not you

Millions are about to see healthcare costs rise & farmers are going bankrupt, and suddenly there's $0 for them

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021.

The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Good. Now disbar his ass.

You can hold whatever views you want and exercise your right to free speech under the First Amendment.

But a license to practice law is not a right. It is a privilege & comes with obligations. With a duty to comply with the Rules of Professional Conduct.

Disbar him. Now.

OK - side note and i don't mean to belittle this moment with a talk of clothing - but this woman is SLAYING IT in her turquoise blazer and beautiful turquoise necklace.

Professional, Southwest-gem-inspired vibe is a nod to those who elected her and POWERFUL! Damn. Love it!

Electric bills have gone up because data servers using AI require tons of electricity. Demand is up w/AI use and supply is down, which means electricity prices are through the roof. Since Trump hates solar energy, they are only approving new traditional energy plants, which take forever to build.

See if your municipality has a utility assistance program. Also see if there is a food bank in your area. That is not a healthy diet and it will wreak havoc on your body long term (I know this personally). There are still plenty of NFPs out there helping with food and utilities.

For those who rent - read your lease & state law re eviction. Depending on your lease & state law, landlord may have to wait 30 days before sending a notice of eviction, or they may only wait 10 days. DO NOT MISS COURT. Ask for time to get an atty (30 days). Use that time to catch up on rent.

Let me give y'all some Free Law Advice if you lost your job, are low on $$:

Pay your car bill first. Repossession starts after 1-2 missed car payments.

But you get a lot of chances to catch up (approx 1 year) after missing a mortgage payment. They send many statutory notices before they foreclose.
