As our country celebrates Veterans Day, Trump's MAGA regime has been given the keys to the castle after Democrats caved to GOP demands to end the shutdown. I look at Democratic leadership and blame their corruption for enabling Trump's cabinet.

Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

Oh also - lawyers aren’t allowed to tell jurors this so i do:
“Jury nullification” is a fancy phrase that just means, “This jury decided not to convict and there’s nothing anyone can do about that.”
If we think a law is unjust or unjustly enforced, we can just not convict. We don’t need a reason.

Forgive the Revolutionary War symbolism.
Today, NJ & VA were at a pivotal moment — just like during 2 defining periods of the Revolution. This time, two strong women stood against the pull of authoritarianism.
NJ & VA became beacons of victory & democratic strength for a nation needing it.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.
This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.
I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.
