The quality of being "peaceful" has never insulated anyone from police violence. It's important to remember this. The law is not a moral instrument, and police are violence workers.

This is a litmus test for liberalism and so many are failing with flying colors. A nonviolent protest against a brutal war violently suppressed with the help of some of the most prominent media and political figures in the country. History will not judge them harshly enough so let's start now.

Yes, a violent group of psychos that led an armed insurrection in an attempt to overthrow the government in the name of a flatulent con man is the same as non-violent individuals protesting violence and murder

It's probably best not to engage with dead-enders who'd rather watch society burn than be adults and vote for Biden, or at least try to persuade rather than scold. But it's so damn frustrating they haven't already figured out at this late date that Trump is an existential threat.

Show this to the student protesters. They need to be prepared if Biden loses the election & Trump takes over. No vote for Biden is a vote for Trump. If the students think what's going on now in Palestine is horrible, it will be worse with Trump. He will sell Palestine to the highest bidder. Period.

What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.

"Thanks to NY's strict laws about media access, the trial has precisely the wrong level of exposure for Trump. It's not totally behind closed doors, so he can’t just lie about what transpired. But no cameras also means he can’t turn things into a circus."

Trump's criminal trial is off to a bad start for himwww.publicnotice.co He's low energy both inside and outside the courtroom.

Trump campaigns as the first candidate in history to run on a "law and order" platform while on trial as a criminal defendant, and facing federal charges of previously fomenting his own insurrection.

Helping an older relative use SNAP for the first time. This is a publicly humiliating process that holds up lines and expects the elderly to be tech savvy or starve. I think this relative has been avoiding eating to avoid figuring it out. I am glad she has family to guide her. How many don’t?

My Sunday SCOTUS thoughts at Law Dork: “This week’s arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court were disturbing. They also, however, can and should serve as a warning siren.”

The Supreme Court's men aren't here to protect youwww.lawdork.com (Unless you're reading this, Donald Trump.)
