Law professor in Albany, New York, formerly Legal Aid lawyer. Not your lawyer. Cats, lawsuits, food, family, lefty politics, books, and random observations. Sweary despite my mom's best efforts. In a mixed marriage with a Brit. Newly minted (Jan. 2023) #NottinghamForest fan.

Dammit. Way to raise my hopes only to dash them in the next sentence.

Idaho dropped 10,000 from Medicaid during COVID-19, violating federal law. The incident showcases the potential for state bureaucracies to disenroll people and leave them vulnerable, a concern that could impact millions covered under Medicaid.

I wonder if Che Guevara ever imagined that he'd be on expensive ashtrays behind a glass cabinet at @Harrods
Do all sportscasters throughout the entire world attend Meaningless Commentary School?? In the last five minutes alone I have heard that Liverpool would prefer not to be in seventh place and that one of the actual professional athletes on the field is "a real competitor." Like... thanks?
Watching the Liverpool - Crystal Palace game with closed captioning on and apparently Liverpool just got a "free cake." Lots to like about the game apparently.

America’s legal system today

I want to practice law:
—You need a 4 year Bachelors, take the LSAT, then a 3 year JD, then pass the BAR, buy malpractice insurance, & total cost is ~$300K

I want to enforce the law:
—Here’s paid 13-week training & a gun

I want to write the law:
—No qualifications needed and a billionaire can buy you a seat

Malcolm X was assassinated 58 years ago today. This remains as one of my favorite pieces of wisdom he shared. And now, they're making it illegal to even claim the knife is there.

"If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound. They won't even admit the knife is there." — Malcolm X

Both my cats took care of me today (fighting COVID and exhausted). Apparently that tuckered Oscar right out. #HelpfulCats #CatsOfMastodon
