Lawyer. Not your lawyer. Mother. Not your mother.

By day (and frankly nights and weekends), a civil rights lawyer for people who are incarcerated. Other times, just exhausted.

Washington DC based.
Have a great weekend, DMV

I have no idea what you are talking about, but it reminded me of this

You are way above the rest of us

I ate there 2 years ago when I was in Minnesota for work. Cousin who is a food writer said I had to. Couldn't get a lunch res. Managed to eat at the bar. I cannot stop talking about how 🤯 yummy that lunch was.

This Nazi will have a job in this administration in no time

It makes me profoundly sad that so many adults must have failed this young man when he was a child

A lovely gift from my mother in law, which has driven my family crazy for 8 days.

She took Adam Sandler too literally

I have a work trip tomorrow. Double making sure to pack the mini menorah that Thing 2 made last week at religious school.

Joy is a practice. Happy Hannukah.

This always makes me giggle, and I'm embarrassed about that

Another standard about children they want to block, the requirement to consider this when housing kids.

Little skinny gay seeming kid? This administration is fine not caring if they get seriously assaulted
December 5, 2025 at 3:00 AM
This is the standard they want to block, for required staff training for dealing with children. They want to block training for how to effectively communicate with children!

They are trying to block even noting if someone was raped bc of perceived identity, race, or gang affiliation.

Here are the standards this administration wants to stop enforcing, a thread that will continue for a while

Don't mess with me. I'm now married to a black belt.

When you are awful and also committed to losing all your litigation

This doesn't seem like a good strategy to convince the judiciary that you are operating within the bounds of Due Process

What's your sign?

From a box found among my mother in law's things

Guitar and/or handwriting people:

Is this signature by David Haxton of h

It didn't occur to them that FAPE was one of those left wing ideas they were running away from.

Mostly, I feel for the kids. It can't be good to ripped away from all social life. They clearly aren't mixing in to Russian society. It's not that hard a language to pick up if they were trying.
