So I carved off a lean chunk of the steak before cooking it,
And made sure to set it on the edge of my plate, after I was done.
And then to look the other way. To let her steal it.
I got her her favorite thing, for her birthday -
Crime.

It took considerable courage for the jury in the Palestine Action trial to ignore the demands to convict from the judge, government, police and media and instead to weigh the actual evidence.

Long before Emeryville, CA, became a mall, industrial town, or the Bay Area HQ of Pixar Studios, this land was home to the Ohlone people. For thousands of years they lived, gathered shellfish like oysters, clams & mussels and honored life and death here.

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.
