As a longtime public defender and person with a new book on safety coming in Feb, this NYT breakdown on how Trump’s tactics on crime are a redux of bad ideas we’ve tried before and recognized don’t pan out.
Here’s the details. (I'll link the article in the thread)

People who do difficult, dangerous labor should be paid a meaningful wage commensurate to the difficulty and dangerousness of that labor. Glad to get a chance to say so and thanks @valeriereports for covering this issue!

We had @GalvinAlmanza on episode 1735 ‘Sane-Washing Trump, AI + Cops = Bad As It Sounds’ - listen now! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

You may have heard the term “Project 2025” floating around, and you may even have cracked open the 900+ page document yourself, only to see a lot of kind of bland, policy-wonk text. So let me crack through the policy-speak and tell you WTF is in this document.

Here at PFJ, we know there is a nexus between reliable transportation and client success. And while advocates can move mountains, they can't materialize vehicles. BUT thanks to an incredible partnership with @Uber, now we can make a ride appear when it is most needed!

They spent so long wondering how Dan Burn would handle Paris Saint-Germain that they didn't stop to consider how Paris Saint-Germain would handle Dan Burn.

Read this original insight by a brilliant lawyer, @GalvinAlmanza, into what the Mug Shot heard round the world really tells us — about a world of hurt and the swirl of hate. And support @PFJ_USA to make a difference. I have!

Yes there is. @PFJ_USA now has a presence in 1/3 American states. But defenders can't do extraordinary things like this without the resources to realize them.
Right now, there is a @PFJ_USA public defender advocate helping a client complete an application for housing. 65% of the clients they help w/ housing find stable housing, but they can’t come close to helping all the clients who need them. #FundPublicDefense #EndMassIncarceration

Read. This. Thread. We can make real, tangible impacts when we look at public defender clients as individuals, and not just case numbers and court dockets.
OK so…what if I told you that there is a thing that @PFJ_USA and public defenders can do together that gets cases *dismissed*...over 70% of the time. And 87% of the time, this same thing takes jail and prison sentences off the table.
Read on.

At PFJ, we pride ourselves on being the best possible wraparound defense team. Because the legal system targets poor people, 80% of people at risk of going to prison or jail get a public defender.

You may have heard the phrase "the process is the punishment" in American court...but what does that really mean?
In real life, that means that every stage of the legal process is so awful, it can make anyone plead guilty.

PFJ’s advocates are doing AMAZING work w/ @lapubdef and across the US. Jasmin’s story is proof that collaborative defense is transformative, especially when powerhouse partners like @Uber step in with a life-changing ride. spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west…
