Former lawyer here, am I the only one surprised that eminent domain is used on behalf of private parties? This govt overreach is supposed to be for public good. Yikes.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Traveling to CA to help MIL's unpacking, settling into her forever home. Early Thxgiving for 2 of us. Homemade stock /gravy from scratch. Dry-brined, roasted turkey thighs, dressing/stuffing (one of my favorite things) and roasted squash (duck fat, 5 spice, chili). Hope your holiday is calm, rich.

Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

Mark Wolf, a federal judge appointed by Reagan, is resigning after 40 years on the bench.

In an essay published by The Atlantic this week, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.”

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.
