Ellis notes that the feds argue "plaintiffs have not been engaged in First Amendment protected activity" because they've "intermingled themselves with rioters."

"But as I've previously stated," Ellis says, "I don't find defendants' version of events credible."

Ellis notes people being tear gassed, staring down the barrel of a gun and being "slammed to the ground with their head bashed into the street."

"All of that would cause a reasonable person to think twice about exercising their fundamental constitutional rights."

Ellis: "It doesn't matter that someone continues to go protest, or continues to be courageous. That is irrelevant as to whether there was a chilling effect."

Ellis turns to the testimony of U.S. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. How he denied using force against a man he tackled and said he didn't see the Rev. David Black hit by pepperballs.

"More telling," she says, "defendant Bovino admitted that he lied."

Dominion Voting Systems is at the heart of countless 2020 election conspiracy theories. The company has now been sold, and its new owner has shared contrasting messaging about how much will change.
Does the sale of Dominion Voting Systems mean a transformation? Depends who's asking

The stakes of the 2025 tax fight couldn’t be higher. Republicans want to give massive tax breaks to billionaires by jacking up costs on hardworking families.

We’re the campaign that’s going to stop them 🧵

This is actually a huge factor in American politics. Americans generally overestimate minority groups and underestimate majority groups by huge margins: today.yougov.com/politics/art...

When Kash Patel tries to claim his Target List is hyperbole to sell his book, don't believe him. He's a Flynn Digital Soldier & associate of Ivan Raiklin who has his own 'Deep State Target List', which he says is for extra judicial raids & executions of 'enemies within.' Senators better be ready.

They absolutely revel in their ability to do this to people and are going to keep doing it. They cannot alter reality but they

Imagine being so oblivious to how much of a needy piece of shit you are that not only do you go to a renowned doctors house to “confront” him, but then you post it on the World Wide Web.
