Yesterday, the defendants filed their reply to Freeman's brief, in which she claimed she was indigent.
It's a lot of stuff, most of which comes down to: if she's indigent, it happened on purpose.

24. We should provide resources to help indigent people keep their animals, rather than shaming them for having to give them up.

Okay, but do you see how those clients are deeply unrepresentative? You’re defending indigent people, which is great, but that means your clients are going to be indigent. There are significantly fewer indigent people now, which I assume you think is good? And want?
BRB gonna go tell all my clients who are lower income families getting evicted or who can't afford the public defender that the economy is fine
Democrats didn’t actually run on this, and also, for the vast majority of Americans, especially in lower-income families, the economy IS fine. Better than fine - extremely strong

Harvard is systematically erasing even mention of anything DEI or LGBTQ related. They took down the page mentioning me being recognized by Vogue's forces for change along with years of clinical communications about serving indigent communities.

Libraries and community centers also seem underutilized, or at least this set of folks are reticent to use them and come into contact with indigent folk. Those listed "third spaces" often policed or removed indigent folk, because, as you said: they aren't really *free* third spaces.

/3 It’s nice to have crime on video but there is a great danger of video making a prosecution overconfident and complacent. I won a prison riot case years back when I was on the Indigent Defense Panel because of that — the prosecution was overconfident in the video.

This reminds me of a time like 20 years ago. I was on the indigent defense panel and I got the client acquitted at trial. Judge was mad. Took his chambers 10 days to process the paperwork to release the client.

POPEHAT SIGNAL: Pro Bono counsel sought in Chicago, for the cause of right over the cause of evil. Potential client is out-of-state and indigent. Opponent is abusing Illinois’ pre-litigation discovery process to harass and abuse her and likely to dox her. The details are insane.

There's rightfully indigent stories posted almost daily about "innocent" people "wrongfully" sent to El Salvadorian torture prisons by the US when they aren't in fact criminals. These articles miss the point, however, that NO ONE SHOULD BE BEING SENT THERE JESUS CHRIST.

I love my trans followers. You all come to bat for me a lot. I am really happy that my new job will specifically include giving legal assistance to indigent trans people in getting them housing and public benefits. Honor and a privilege

Meanwhile, Portland "deeply affordable" housing is in a death spiral. The economics was built on their least indigent tenants subsidizing their most; turns out those tenants are now moving towards the relatively affordable and plentiful market-rate housing.

Lynne Freeman made the argument in her brief that it was Very Sad and Not Fair to ask her to pay this money because she was indigent and also unable to work because she is ill.

Now, Lynne Freeman being indigent is, of course, a surprise to the Lynne Freeman of two months ago, who said with shock that HOW DARE they imply that she not be able to pay! As if she were a poor!

I find the reaction in the replies here pretty dispiriting. A much larger problem in the American legal system than dumb attorneys using fake cases is the lack of representation for the indigent. Figuring out how to use AI well is a duty for people like me who represent indigent clients.
now we're talking. a claude skill by @mattbruenig.bsky.social built on top of stuff that required a bunch of coding, but which itself has nothing to do with coding. expert-level (at least) labor law research, roughly for free, built on top of nlrbresearch.com/NLRB/NLRB_DB

No surprise, Trump is raising money off Elon Musk's shutdown of USAID. Yeah, take away malaria nets, health care, and clean water from indigent people overseas, and Trump will bring in more campaign dollars. This is MAGA. Have you no decency?
