Can you imagine telling this guy that 160 years later the richest country in the world works overtime to have more childhood disease and less milk safety

Just got hit on walking in front of the courthouse by someone yelling “IM OPEN TO WORKING WOMEN”

Having a pleasant morning drafting motions using my own brain it’s very cool

Tell the commissioners: don't leave our community in the cold! On 1/25/26, a winter storm struck Southern Maryland and snow and ice and below freezing temperatures forced the counties to take measures to keep people safe. This included warming centers, as well as...

Southern Maryland please join me in signing this letter to protect our community!

There is a gang roaming the streets murdering, kidnapping, and terrorizing us without pushback.

Armed struggle is upon us whether we would risk it or not.

One of the more underrated lines in LOTR is his retort to Theoden when the king of Rohan says that he would not risk open war and Aragorn reminds him that open war is upon him whether he would risk it or not.

Something to think about when people insist on peaceful protest.

listen I'm always saying "the law" will not save us but I still think its irresponsible to report about that ICE memo like they have changed very clear existing constitutional law about when police can go into your home

"there is no such army" meanwhile there's a medium sized college around

I don’t mind Legolas skateboarding or the orcs talking about menus but I have always wondered how Grima didn’t hear or see 10,000 Uruk-hai until the timing was convenient

The Dem leadership’s objections will essentially amount to “we used to be a proper country, you had to get up in front of us and lie about a reason to invade another country and take out its leader”

Plus Between Two Fires apparently I can’t count

This tracks with my experience. DHS made up stories like this in Chicago, too. Every story ICE told about being attacked by community members was debunked in court. To assume anything they say is even potentially credible is irresponsible and out of touch with reality.

And this is why you always prepare your clips and citations for cross my trial attorney friends

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

November reads! #booksky

We’ve seen this play out in Gaza, framing atrocities as a war to excuse whatever happens. Gaza is a genocide and the US is carrying out premeditated murder strikes in boats. Call things what they are.

I need people to stop giving this admin an inch on the boats. Even saying they’re war crimes uses their framing that this is a war, which is ridiculous. It’s murder. It’s just murder carried about by the US military.

I have two weekday modes: bed at 9 wake up at 4 [in trial] or bed at 1 wake up at 7 after throwing my phone across the room [not in trial] these two people don’t get along either

Primaries for senators

Sometimes a new prosecutor who doesn’t know I’m not to be fucked with will “offer” a plea to the top charge and no agreement on time and I feel like that would definitely work on Chuck Schumer
