Understand that 370 days ago even bringing a motion like this would probably have been treated as sanctionably frivolous

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

A long-underappreciated component of "Do not obey in advance" is that doing so often not only makes you look like a coward and a fool, but also results in considerable unnecessary work.

If you’re reading this inside, and you have snow in front of your residence outside, and you have a shovel and a body capable of using it, put down your phone and go shovel
Repeating: NOW is a good time to shovel if you've switched from snow to sleet. 1-3" of sleet (which is many times heavier than snow) on top of this snow will make it MUCH harder to clear later.

I have been thinking all day about the number of times unarmed Black people were killed by police on the pretext that their cell phone looked like a gun. And people would say “oh but you just don‘t know what the truth is.” Well here it is.
OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Solar growth also met all of the daytime growth in electricity demand in the US, as well as some of the growth in demand in the evenings, with the help of batteries.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

Apologies, wrong link in the first post (there are two letters).
Correct link here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I suggest reading in full…it’s really something. The judge, by the way, is a Bush appointee and two-time Scalia clerk.

Our initial analysis is up.
The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.
He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.
