Can #Massachusetts prosecutors hide the names of cops who are charged with crimes?

My attorney and I will be at Suffolk County Superior Court on Wednesday to argue that the answer is no.

You can read about my pending lawsuit here:
NEW: On Monday, I asked a judge to order Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan's office to disclose the names of police officers who have been charged with crimes like possession of child pornography, assault and battery, and driving under the influence.

At first I thought it was quite harsh for Trump to equate United & Delta airlines with human traffickers, but on second thought... LET HIM COOK

The acclaimed writer Tom Stoppard has died, at 88. For the award-winning playwright, “art is a game within a game—the larger game being life itself,” Kenneth Tynan wrote, in 1977.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

We capitulated with that white ethno state and ended reconstruction early due to white power terrorism all so Jim Crow could be king for a century or more.

Trump is an outgrowth of that failure to meaningfully hold anyone accountable after hundreds of thousands died to do so.

I hope it’s now (even more) obvious that having military in our streets, with instructions to ignore “stupid rules of engagement,” is not in any way intended to protect us or make us safer

🎁 link to the WSJ editorial that made Stephen Miller so mad.

"It would be a shame if this single act of betrayal became the excuse for deporting all Afghan refugees...

"Thousands are building new lives here in peace. Collective punishment won’t make America safer."

Some Thanksgiving sides deserve their own mention. Barbecue Collard Greens w/ beef bacon, garlic confit & candied cipollini onions is one of those sides. I'm not a fan of collard greens & I hate cleaning them, but Chef Kwame Onwuachi's recipe is 🔥! (I'll prolly sub it w/ chard next month, though.)
