One question I get asked a lot is why I still focus so much on pro bono and sliding scale eviction defense - it's always half my practice - when there's so much else going on.

Here's the answer.

Donald Trump, before he was anything else, was a slumlord.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

From the Epstein files: were Paul Volker and Tom Brokaw really members of a secret society with a "no minorities or women allowed" rule? Brokaw is still around -- worth asking him!

“Independent” is doing too much work in this first wave. They are arresting journalists and just like everything else they’ve done, they’re testing the limits of our resistance by starting wt vulnerable margins.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.

TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.

Meanwhile, @brianstelter.bsky.social reports on media mogul Barry Diller's interest in maybe buying CNN.

Unlikely, Brian says. For one thing, he's too liberal. Meaning: Trump won't have it.

Alex Pretti’s parents have retained Steve Schleicher, a former federal prosecutor who helped Minnesota convict Derek Chauvin in the George Floyd murder. Schleicher is taking the case pro bono. Renee Good’s family retained Romanucci & Blandin, the firm that represented Floyd’s family.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Experts we spoke to who reviewed Ciji Graham’s case agreed that even if the standard treatment for her heart condition posed a small risk to her pregnancy, the risk of not treating Graham was far greater:

“No mother, no baby,” one doctor said.
A Pregnant Woman at Risk of Heart Failure Couldn’t Get Urgent Treatment. She Died Waiting for an Abortion.
In a state that had legislated its commitment to life, Graham spent her final days struggling to find anyone to save hers.
