Watching @FSUFootball load up the roster via the Transfer Portal has basically become CFB Free Agency. Lol #NILWorldOrder
Archbishop Tutu - a Nobel Peace laureate - described voting in South Africa’s first democratic election in 1994 “like falling in love.” Tutu strived for equal rights in S. Africa during: the worst of apartheid and a burgeoning democracy. Rest with Angels reuters.com/world/africa/sou…
Merry Christmas! 🎁 In SO many cases, opposing lawyers would explain to us that their client’s NOT discriminating against our disabled client bc our client’s “disability clearly precludes them from performing the job”…except it almost never does. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

#Facts - “Amateurism” has been dead since the ‘80s. Stop pretending a college degree and Student Union food court, food stamps is fair compensation in exchange for playing football for a P5 program #NILWorldOrder

Once everyone starts acknowledging CFB players (including FSU’s) haven’t been “amateurs” in decades, THEN we can start doling out the $$$ fairly…INSTEAD of building billion dollar businesses on the backs of teenage minorities, primarily. #NILWorldOrder

Twitter is not the forum to make detailed, legal counter-arguments with generally intelligent people. This is my best stab at it 😂😭 #NILWorldOrder

I wanted to give NSD and the Travis Hunter debacle a little time to breathe, but anyone with a $0.15 Costco law degree could've told Deion how to do what he did. @FSUFootball lost @TravisHunterJr because they were dumb or their attorneys were. No two ways around it.🤷🏻♂️

Bottom line: everyone in Tallahassee is mad because @DeionSanders looked out for @TravisHunterJr , “the student athlete.” before FSU, the multibillion dollar university. God forbid… 😭 #GoNoles 🍢 #NILWorldOrder

News: Chip LaMarca, the Florida Rep who introduced the state’s NIL bill, filed a new bill today amending the NIL law.
New bill allows schools more freedom to facilitate NIL deals by striking language that prohibited schools from “causing compensation to be directed” to athletes.

My friend gave me permission to post this pic I did of her little girl. Art by me.

Just saw this, but Adam’s sentiment is 100% the consensus out of most everyone, attorneys included 😂 (1) We’ll never know why he went to trial bc his lawyers won't say without a waiver; (2) how’d a black millionaire get a jury w/ 11 non-blacks…in Chicago? 😭

I live by this underlying precept, we can do things the easy way or the hard way. I ALWAYS prefer the easy way.
In the process of negotiation, I live by the same mantra. The hard way just means a much higher cost for you, not me (my clients)… #AttorneyLife

Looking forward to speaking with you during your show @TheRevAl. While not directly related, I can also send a photo of another one of my civil rights cases. A severely disabled, blind, autistic teenager was choked out from behind with a towel by his teacher no less than 30 x’s…
I couldn’t be any more honored to be discussing important issues of civil rights with such an icon like @TheRevAl . He and his predecessors are the reason I do the work I do.

RIP to a legendary figure in the civil rights community, Rev. C.T. Vivian. One of MLK’s most trusted colleagues, Rev. Vivian is widely considered the architect of the non-violent protests led by Rev. King... 🙏🏻

Amy Coney Barrett is one of those judges that makes you reconsider your choice to practice law or pursue civil rights cases. She views the constitution as an “originalist”, to be interpreted to hold minorities are 3/5th of a person. Good luck proving a discrimination case 😂
Bates Law retweeted
Remember when MAGA blamed President Obama for the worsening of race relations & respect for police authority? What a joke. Under Trump we have watched civil rights get set back 30+ years for all minorities and now we’re fighting to keep women’s rights from being set back.

What a powerful statement from a powerful leader in the civil rights movement. You will be missed greatly Representative Cummings. Rest In Peace 🙏🏻
