New server, same vibe! I love conversations and words.

I'm a criminal defense lawyer, anonymous in public because these views are mine, not my clients'. I used to moderate a rock band's forum and that's where my name comes from.

I love talking (civilly) about politics & law. I help to teach people what propaganda is, as seeing it helps to dissolve it.

Also appreciate humor, kindness, my SF Bay Area, and living on the edge of the continent.

⚡️ axeshun ⚡️ :toad:<p>There is no greater threat to democracy, humanity, the environment, nor the very existence of mankind, than the furtherance of putin&#39;s homocidal, colonialist agenda. <br />Which just so happens to align perfectly with autocratic, corporate giant, billionaire, and christo-fascist agendas, the world over.<br />Full stop</p>
⚡️ axeshun ⚡️ :toad:<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.party/@leafuw" class="u-url mention">@<span>leafuw</span></a></span> it&#39;s like when many left leaning twitter accounts were taken over in 2020, and they suddenly became blatant trump supporting disinformation networks. I believe it even happened to Morgan Fairchild.<br />The edit alert function here, is invaluable.</p>

Laffy<p>Via Kyle Cheney:</p><p>JUST IN: Rep. Bennie Thompson (former chair of the Jan. 6 committee) has introduced legislation that would terminate Secret Service protection for, uh, anyone sentenced to a year or more in jail.</p>
SparkleTea<p>The rule of law in this country is being challenged right now, today, before our eyes. Any other defendant who violated a pre or midtrial gag order seven times would be, minimally, thrown in jail for a night to be taught a lesson to comply. This is legal, it would be immediate: no appeals. Let&#39;s see what happens. Crossing my fingers that our judicial process is not made into a mockery by this criminal.</p>
