No better way to tell you I'm on Bluesky than to announce that I have brought a class action lawsuit against Elon Musk and AmericaPAC for their fraudulent “lottery” giveaway. Speech is free, but lies you have to pay for. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

Today, my firm won a $31 million jury verdict against XPO Logistics and its subcontractors for negligently causing the death of 25-year-old Josué Calá. Corporate negligence threatens us all, and in an age of vanishing regulations, holding them accountable in court is vital to our safety.

He did the meme.

Tweet stating: "Former NYC Mayor Eric Adams is now officially Albanian." Adams is wearing a hat with an Albanian seal and looks ridiculous.
A meme. First panel, "Me trying to explain to my alien that he's not albanian:" Photo shows a frustrated woman at the end of her patience. Second panel, "My alien:" The alien is wearing a hat with an Albanian seal and looks ridiculous.

I’d certainly be interested in talking to that student. He would be the fourth person I’ve represented who was falsely smeared as a mass murderer by a rightwing misinfo campaign. I’m getting pretty good at it.

Today my law firm secured a quarter-billion dollar verdict in New Mexico against Michelin for defects in their tires that threaten all of our lives on the roadway, and I don’t think you’ll see a single news story about it. Corporate malfeasance thrives in the shadows.

My partner Kyle Farrar and I spoke to ABOTA about the benefits and challenges of live-streaming the Alex Jones trial. It was a great conversation along with David Siegel of Courtroom View Network: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSWN...

In addition to being in the process of losing his business, this man has also lost his juice.

Well that’s weird. Musk refused to delete his ridiculous tweets accusing my innocent client of committing a “false flag” Nazi attack. I wonder what’s different here…
