I'm back to tell you that I'm hiring an associate attorney! If you know a relatively new attorney who wants to litigate against the federal government for all the right reasons, send them here: debgoldenlaw.com/workwithus/

TAKE ACTION: Tell @BureauOfPrisons to stop pushing plans for a new federal prison that will further the disaster of mass incarceration, threaten the health of prisoners, and harm the unique biodiversity of Central Appalachia.

DM if you want a Bluesky invite code. Or just give your credit card info to a goof that shouldn't be trusted with safety scissors
Very proud to have filed this lawsuit with @CAIRNational.

As I said in this story -- I cannot think of a time where that many guards were fired that quickly. This must have been extraordinary violence.
Texas Prison guards put an inmate who assaulted one of them in the hospital. The state says they used excessive force and seven were fired, six resigned and a criminal investigation is ongoing.

When the minute order couldn't be any clearer:
"Court advised the parties to consider carefully and discuss settlement in this case."
Although this case wasn't a QI question, these facts highlight the bullshit at the heart of qualified immunity. Guards don't just need clear case law to tell them what to do. They don't care about case law. Even when it is literally handed to them.
My favorite amusement left on this dumpster for is watching people go 🤯 when they are reminded Akiva is frum
Former DDC clerks or judges on burners:
If a case is removed from Superior Court, can you easily see the record from Superior Court? Is it better to attach Sup. Ct. motions and decisions as exhibits in DDC brief?
Having no voice is a very interesting way to practice law.
At least now I have a good reason to make all those meetings be emails
Do I know anyone with access to Moore's Federal Practice who would copy/download a section for me? I have to make sure it says what a court decision says it says.
Me to universe: Why won't this judge rule on this motion? It's been pending forever. I really want this case to be done.
Judge: Ok, you lose, completely.
Me: Not like that! (trudges off to find notice of appeal form)
