Purpose, passion, and persistence. 👏 From being selected as a 2026 UMD Senior Marshal to earning recognition as a Truman Scholarship nominee and receiving the Adele’s Circle of Women Scholarship, Judy Nasser has built a path at Maryland grounded in service, leadership, and a deep commitment to making a difference. Now continuing her journey through the @mair_umd program, Nasser is pursuing her passion for international relations, migration, and global policy while preparing for a future centered on advocacy and public service. As she prepares for her next chapter, Nasser hopes other students embrace opportunities that challenge them, trust their instincts, and pursue work that feels meaningful to them — even if their path changes along the way. We’re proud to spotlight Judy and all she has accomplished during her time at UMD. 🌍 Read more by clicking the link in our bio. #GVPTProud #MAIR #Terps #InternationalRelations #StudentSpotlight

⚖️ HISTORIC UPDATE ⚖️ In an unlawful arrest steaming from July 25,2023 , I cross-examined Port Authority Police Officer Joshua Oliveri (#2839) under oath. During this testimony, Oliveri committed perjury directly contradicting sworn reports and exposing the pattern of false arrests, fabricated charges, and retaliation I have endured since July 2023. This was no ordinary hearing. Instead of being held publicly, the court placed me in a room surrounded by attorneys, as if I were a study subject, while concealing the proceeding from the record. This is a blatant violation of due process and a cover-up of systemic corruption. 📑 To preserve the truth, I created mini-transcripts of the January 28, 2025 cross-examination, now on the federal record. I have also filed: • Motion to Suppress, Motion to Dismiss, and Judicial Notice of Officer Perjury & Lack of Probable Cause against Judge Carlo Abad, Prosecutor James C. Brady, Prosecutor Brenden Carol, and District Attorney Esther Suarez. • Supplemental Declaration & Verified Affidavit of Evidence, identifying Oliveri’s perjury as the first predicate act in a broader pattern of retaliation and racketeering under color of law. ✅ These filings are part of my ongoing federal RICO case (2:25-cv-01530), where I’ve named judges, prosecutors, police, and state agencies for their coordinated violations of the Bill of Rights, due process, and federal jurisdiction.#sharitalivestv #viralreels #goddess #civilrightsmovement #constitution #newjersey #corruption #private #privatecourtsession #forumshopping
