First they partner with Kevin I'Leary now their tv commercial features a GLADATOR? They know that gladators were enslaved people, prisoners of war, or condemned criminals, or if not were trying to pay off debts. Just so muck ICK!!! Why would you ever buy a Hammermade shirt?

Oh this is GOOD, and I especially appreciate the awareness of this fact:
"Newsworthy tales of ICE atrocities can easily become violent entertainment for a ravenous national audience; action-movie sequences carried out by caricatures, grief and trauma commodified for mass consumption."

Pro bono work is way, way, way up. Lawyers who have not historically been much involved in pro bono are motivated to protect our community.
Especially high appreciation for all who are teaching themselves immigration law on the fly.

Every time another basic income pilot like this concludes - the results are "unprecedented." It's almost like it's time for it to become universal or something.
The results of another BIG pilot are now available. This one was in L.A. and provided $1,000/mo for a year (2022 to 2023) to 3,200 people and compared them to a control group of 5,000. Every household started in poverty and with kids or expecting a baby.
The results speak for themselves. 👇
