Not every act of protest or resistance is visible, sexy, telegenic. She's right.

Very good point. They are augmenting the "both-sidesing" by refusing to state much of anything as verifiable fact.

I am wondering what you think the Pullman Strike outcome means for today. There are some parallels, but by no means is today identical to then.

Will SCOTUS really let Trump send the Texas National Guard to Illinois against Pritzker's direct denial of need?

I mean, really? So, Roberts, you really want to be the justice who sends causes the breakup of the United States?

I don't know about you guys, but my mind jumps ahead immediately to, "What will the Supreme Court say, when the case against Trump deploying the Texas National Guard to Illinois comes before them?"
