This is how we fight and win…we can govern ourselves, pick up the pieces, put our people back to work not in DC, but in our own states, helping each other…we don’t need federal anything

Brown is out! They had to do more dancing in their letter because they previously capitulated and needed to reference their previous agreement but, at its core, this reiterates MIT's letter.

The clock is now on for all other institutions.

Every day brings more signs of cowardice and capitulation. I stated Democracy Docket in 2020 to be independent and pro-democracy no matter what. If you value media that will never compromise, bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

In the USA, you can't even go to a pharmacy without masked ICE terrorists rampaging through the isles. Here, in Chicago, Kristi Noem's terrorists terrorize a store and its customers.

According to Geneva Convention, tear gas is banned and illegal in any country, under any circumstances…CWC has said it can be used for riot crowd control, there is legislation that strictly prohibits its use in states such as California & there is ongoing litigation against its use in other states…

The GOP wants people to think they have a mandate for the authoritarian regime they’re building. Showing up on Sat shatters that illusion. That’s why they’re working hard to control the narrative. They want to discredit us because they’re afraid of our power. Time to show them the real mandate!

TFW you called the trial judge a "f---ing c--t"; that judge held you in criminal contempt of court; you appealed the holding; and your case at the intermediate appellate court is heard by a panel of -checks notes- three women judges

abovethelaw.com/wp-content/u...

Before: LETICA, P.J., and RICK and BAZZI, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Marshall Tauber, appeals as of right the order entered by Oakland Circuit Court Judge Yasmine I. Poles that held him in criminal contempt and required him to pay a fine of $7,500. Appellant, an attorney, was appointed to represent a criminal defendant. A hearing addressing bond was held over Zoom before Judge Poles. After the court’s bond ruling, appellant apparently believed that the Zoom hearing had disconnected and used derogatory curse words apparently in reference to the judge. But, the judge heard appellant, and he was held in criminal contempt. On appeal, appellant alleges that he was deprived of due process and there was insufficient evidence to support the criminal contempt. We affirm.

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.
