Very disappointed. Conservancy founder, climate educator, ran for Congress. Seems my life was for nothing. My Dad fought fascism in WW II. Love my home, husband, singing and music, good food, beach days, and planet Earth. We have a grandchild!

Sydney Reid acquitted.

This was a case where someone filming was assaulted, and then arrested and charged with felony assault.

The grand jury no billed that, so they took her to trial on a misdemeanor charge. There were a bunch of discovery problems.

And now this.

Kudos to the FPDS!
A verdict form for Sydney Lori Reid. She was found Not Guilty.

The government doesn't track how often immigration agents hold Americans. So @propublica.org created its own count.

After reviewing every case they could find of agents holding citizens against their will, they found more than 170 incidents during the first nine months of Trump’s administration.
More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents
ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

The con worked, until it didn’t?

ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”

ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.

Thanks to everyone for always keeping those cameras rolling and sharing the videos online. Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will now be required to wear body cameras, following a ruling by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis.

282 former DOJ officials signed a letter sounding the alarm about "this administration’s degradation of DOJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it."

The fact that hundreds felt compelled to say this speaks volumes.
Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm'
Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

After all the debate, one question remains:

Do we want to be the generation that had the power to save our democracy and refused to use it?

Or do we want to be the one that did?

Prop 50 is the answer. Vote YES on Prop 50.
#YesOnProp50
CALIFORNIA Yes on Prop 50

Internal DHS memo shows Trump plans to keep paying ICE agents and Border Patrol officers throughout the shutdown, while other feds go without pay.

Even the DHS administrative staff processing the paychecks won't get theirs, employee tells me.
