I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

Please mask up and stop spreading COVID, in memory of Alice.
Respect Alice Wong’s call here:
“When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”

What a story! Congratulations to Mr. Duncan.
a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

St. Clair's success was notable not only for her wealth but also for her defiance of the patriarchal norms in the male-dominated numbers game. Remember this: power isn’t always about titles or institutions.
Sometimes it’s about refusing to be silenced.
