And probably every other country. America's Olympic coverage has long suffered from hyperfocus on personal interest stories to the detriment of covering sport.

Let Black history month serve to remind us that the living legacy of slavery is the carceral state- policing, prison, immigration detention, and border enforcement. Abolition now.

This is truly incredible.

Shakespeare speaking to RIGHT NOW—on the “mountainish” inhumanity of punishing and casting out strangers from your country.

Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

"Five gun possession cases have been identified for referral to the RJCC since diversion started back up on Jan. 5, according to the State’s Attorney’s Office."

Between 1/5 and 1/25, the State's Attorney obtained convictions for 179 people it charged with a felony for gun possession

The same types who insist we treat summary execution as justified simply because the victim "had a gun," will lose their minds if they believe their own 2A rights are threatened.

Has anyone designed the t-shirt yet? Because I'd like to place an order.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .

Hey #AppellateSky, who has filed a recent cert petition they are especially proud of, or has read one that inspired particular awe? (A colleague is filling her first, and I'd love to be able to provide some especially impressive samples as guidance.)

The Wall Looks Permanent Until It Falls On the optimism of preparation in a time of democratic decay.

As we have seen in Illinois, when ICE descends on a city, chaos & violence follow.

ICE shot & killed a woman in Minneapolis. There is no justification for their actions. Do not believe their lies claiming otherwise. All involved must face justice & accountability. Anything less is unacceptable.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

That's one of those developmental milestones for parents—understanding that the tiny people are in charge and we mere humble servants.

I very much remember when I first read a few articles written by my Crim Pro professor, Wayne LeFave. It was like the first time putting on eyeglasses as a nearsighted kid—so this is what it's like to really see!
