Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Not to diminish law review articles & law school committee work, but right now law professors should be working collectively on an intellectual & service project of immense, existential importance: building consensus around a revolutionary constitutional framework-of a Reconstruction 2.0 magnitude.

Vancouver, WA. Overflow crowd in the park. Gridlock. Huge + support from cars going by. Great crowd. Didn't see a single obvious agitator. Did see at least a dozen dinos. We high-taloned each other.

Someone should do a FOIA request for the raw footage of the videos they took of that Chicago raid and then edited into a fascist ad for ICE.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

Dearest Isabelle, We have taken refuge with thousands of fellow citizens at the town stadium in war ravaged #Portland, as drums pound and smoke fills the air, along with the cries of the citizenry. Around us we see the horror of empty beer cups and insufficient hot dog relish. #BAONPDX

Video below: “I am American. I am American.” A man pleads, “Ayúdame, ayúdame. Help me!”
Meanwhile, an ICE officer pulls a gun on innocent bystanders — in Hyattsville, MD. This is happening in America. Right now.
What are we doing about this? It MUST stop. @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.
