Much love to all the know your rights trainers, legal observers and their trainers, street medics, etc who were out this past Saturday. Y’all are moving people into different roles. You are seen and appreciated.

For those using the word “performative” for moral high ground, stop it. We all started somewhere. Those “protest performers” are laying the groundwork to push the Overton window, letting you to do more impactful work.

If you are in your feels about the word, take a moment and ask why. That flare of irritation, the grimace you made inwardly, what is the root of that emotion? This struggle is a lifetime. An never-ending cycle of reaction, reflect, learn, apply.

Case 3: A person in a fight where both parties ended up in the hospital. When Judge Schreiber asks ASA Crowley if the case will be indicted, he cannot give an answer either way, but says if it is, the trial will not be until at least March 2026.
