Virginia prosecutors are asking people to waive their Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures in exchange for plea deals. In Richmond, 96% of people who signed away these rights were people of color.

Can someone please remind me: are college students blue-haired ickle snowflake babies, or hardened terrorist revolutionaries out for blood? Having a hard time keeping it straight.

Interested in hearing from defense attorneys on what they put in sentencing memoranda to truly humanize their client and get others to understand who their client is, how they came to this moment, and what they aspire to in the future.

Suspect in high-crime neighborhood is acting oddly and evasively, as if trying to avoid police contact. Cal SCT: That's not enough for reasonable suspicion. Acting odd doesn't mean you're engaged in crime; Wardlow is distinguishable. Gun suppressed.

As an eager fan of Inspectah Deck from the Wu-Tang Clan, it is one of the the best things to find songs from the 90s I haven't heard before that feature a verse from him

don’t really see anyone talking about this but: arrestees at CUNY were charged with *felonies* while arrestees at Columbia were charged with misdemeanors. nobody should be charged with anything but it is a travesty that poorer & racialized students bear the brunt of this struggle

my mother was a professor in ‘75 & got arrested for defending her students. Many of her colleagues distanced themselves & a black lawmaker tried to get her fired. She’s the one who taught me that some of the people that hate kids the most end up in academia. Power to the people.

I was raised in a home where healthy self-esteem was not fostered. I thought pursuing my passion to be an attorney would help boost self-esteem. I love the work that I do and want to be great at it, but the lingering sense of not being good enough to meet the moment lingers.

All partisanship aside, national electoral politics are just so damn boring and monotous…truly don’t understand the journalists who follow it so closely (although it’s needed)

Asking the important questions here, like “why isn’t every student at a top school a money-hungry sociopath?”

Listening to the podcast about Curtis Flowers (person who was tried for murder 6x) and heard this line from host Madeleine Baran: 'There were no trials held in Montgomery County for the entire year that I was reporting in Mississippi. Every single case was resolved by a plea.'
