burrell-law.com/privacy/priv... Democracy has never been a passive condition. It is something that free societies actively maintain — through elections, through civic participation, and through the freedom to communicate without fear of surveillance, manipulation, or reprisal.

This ☝️is why I built StampHash (stamphash.app). I downloaded the Bureau of Labor Statistics Aug. 1 report and saved a hash of the PDF to the #Bitcoin blockchain. If this administration tries to falsely change the report, there is a digital fingerprint on the blockchain of the original report.

A 🧵 for @talithacumi.bsky.social and our friends in #WashingtonDC When Momma Passes and There’s No Will: How Washington DC Intestacy Laws Can Be Costly. Many people hate to think about death, so they fail to consider drafting a will. Imagine this scenario. 1/10

PLEASE talk to anyone whose home you might be living in or counting on. A basic will isn’t expensive, and it can literally be the difference between keeping or losing your home. The hard truth is that without a will specifying otherwise, the law treats all heir at certain levels equally. 9/10

Don’t let this happen to your family. Have the conversation today with Burrell Law. If you need resources or someone to talk to about drafting a will, please reach out to @talithacumi.bsky.social our Wills, Trusts and Estates attorney in our Washington, DC office. 10/10

If that wasn’t bad enough, the property taxes and water bill don’t stop coming just because someone died. Keshia had to scrape together money for the recent tax payment while simultaneously trying to figure out how probate court process works. 7/10

Entire multi-generational households getting torn apart because someone didn’t draft a will. It’s especially bad in neighborhoods like Petworth and Southeast DC where property values have skyrocketed—suddenly distant relatives have a financial incentive to force sales of family homes. 8/10

They automatically get some ownership interest in the house. Siblings she barely knows are pushing for a sale so they can get their cut of the property value. 5/10

Meanwhile, Keshia, who cared for her mom through illness and has nowhere else to go, could end up homeless in the same neighborhood she’s lived in her whole life. 6/10

Because her mom didn’t have a will (in legal terms, her mom died “intestate”). Her mom owned that house outright—paid off the mortgage years ago. 3/10

But since Keshia wasn’t on the deed and her mom died without a will, DC law kicks in with this mechanical formula for who gets what. Turns out Keshia’s mom has three other children spread across the country who she barely spoke to, but guess what? 4/10

Imagine that you have a neighbor who’s been living in a beautiful brick brownstone row house in the Petworth neighborhood in Northwest DC with her mom for the past 15 years. Her mom passed away suddenly last month, and now she's facing eviction from her childhood home. Why? 2/10

Well, if MAGA and its acolytes get their way, they could pass a law that would strip nonprofits of their tax-exempt status if they...ahem...engage in (what they consider to be) "terrorism".

Since #RecessAppointments have been (somewhat) in the news, please check out the #SCOTUS 2014 opinion in NRLB v Canning, 573 US 513 (2014) Breyer, J. which thoroughly discusses recess appointments (TL;DR recesses of 3 days is too short to be constitutional). #LawSky

6 Dec 2024

Let's see if #SCOTUS changes its mind on whether "political opposition" is an unusual circumstance to allow recess appointments to go forward. #LawSky

We don't trust the current SCOTUS to follow NLRB if the issue comes up during the incoming Trump Administration, but we hope to be wrong. #LawSky
