It doesn't count as a town hall if
a.) It's unannounced
b.) Sponsored by a partisan special interest group
c.) In the entrance foyer of some random building, by the looks of it, an assisted living home or doctor's building

Briefly there was a black owned nickelodeon in Mill Creek, so brief that I cannot find any record of it in any other publication or directory. Just this mention in the Palladium from 1907.

The only other black owned theater Mill Creek would see was Charles Turpin's Booker Washington on Market

oh it did lol, I only knew it for having to sit in department offices which were never air conditioned or freezing cold, much like the rest of the social sciences building proper.

Find someone else to write it. Writing about law is the most boring topic you could tell me to research.

What we want to Mondo. I want to study and write about black history, not some boring stuffy topic like law.

Parole is a key step to freedom after prison. Missourians face a β€˜draconian’ system to get there Lack of transparency is a key flaw in Missouri's maligned parole system, says attorney Amy Malinowski.

I've talked to a lot of folks in Missouri's parole system. Some spent most of their adult lives in prison, and are still judged on their worst actions as teens.

Too many never get a parole hearing at all.

The process has much room improvement, but there's a rare chance now for that to happen.

To trump administration personnel who are afraid to step outside in dc, I agree that it must suck to be targeted randomly in the street by a violent gang of out of control thugs who want to take things from you and your family for no good reason, and don’t respect the basics of the rule of law

Jesus christ you have idea that this is a parody of the greatest tweet ever.

I cannot find it but someone even paid Nathan Lane to do a cameo recording of it in his voice and it sounds insane

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.
