A perimeter of parents and what appeared to be a priest and other faith leaders were out all around the neighborhood surrounding Chavez as students were recently dismissed.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Placing my marker that Zags are significantly underrated at #21. I think they are Top 10, maybe Top 5 this year. But I'm a biased Zag, we'll see.

congratulations to new solicitor general lindsey halligan

We relied heavily on prosecutors to exercise prosecutorial discretion. Since at least federally they are now tools of an authoritarian, juries remain as the final safeguard.

Admits? He seemed to demand it, without shame.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

FULL STORY: Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, who led a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and its suburbs, lied about firing tear gas at protesters in Little Village and tackling a man outside the Broadview ICE facility, a federal judge said Thursday. @wttw.bsky.social

The man who shredded the aid to the poorest people in the world.

Sandwich guy put a lot of sand in the authoritarian gears. Whole lot of effort wasted on him.

Judge Ellis was quite clear about how frequently video showed DHS' allegations were simply not true, or even DHS officials admitting that earlier claims were untrue.

NEW: Here is the written preliminary injunction order in the Chicago protesters/press case: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Duck guy, sandwich man, frog army - it’s like a comic book movie or something.

We’re seeing increased and aggressive ICE activity across the Portland metro region — including around sensitive locations like schools. Save the PIRC hotline on your phone and call/text if you witness ICE activity: 888-622-1510

Note that this was not the suit by Trump but a copycat class action. Let’s hope the Trump suit itself quickly follows it into the trash can.

Robert Corn-Revere: “A good day for freedom of speech.” Indeed!

Waiting for the objections of all the Republicans that scream about how bad socialism is. Anyone?

Jury LOLification.

Good for the jury - it's gratifying that this case has mustard so much public support.

McConnell: "Last weekend, SNAP benefits lapsed for the first time in our nation's history. This is a problem that could have and should have been avoided."

Judge McConnell: "Evidence shows that people will go hungry, food pantries will be overburdened, and needless suffering will occur. That's what irreparable harm means."

Sandwich man leaving court

Hahaha, I forgot about this. This video was insane. What assholes those people are. (The video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpvt... )

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

"The Administration is violating another court order" frogs in a pot

BREAKING: A federal judge finds the Trump administration "did not comply" with his order.

Roughly 1 in 6 take-offs/landings at US airports are for private planes flown by the wealthiest individuals and large corporations. While a typical private jet carries 1 to 5 passengers, a typical commercial flight carries 150 to 250. But the Trump Administration is cancelling commercial flights.

Long live the jury trial in America.

You all are doing great posting today

even now antifa is emboldened and arming themselves

Sandwich Guy thanks everyone for their support, “emotional, spiritual, artistic or financial.” Intones, “Let us not forget that the great seal of the United States says…‘ out of many, one.’…You all have a right to live a life that is free.”

Most daring submarine warfare against fascism since the Bungo Strait in 1942.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

The guy's a mob boss. That's his ethic, that's his personality, that's his value system.

My hope is that this engenders a little more reflectiveness in terms of support for tinkering with the architecture of the separation of powers for the purpose of making specific policy gains.

Yep, constant civics lessons.

Hero jury saves democracy gone a-rye

can indict a ham sandwich but jury won’t convict a hero sandwich

6th amendment ftw

American juries to federal domestic goon force: eff off

Jury nullification in action.

twelve hungry men

My latest, on ICE/CBP use of facial recognition & the larger threat it poses to our right to vote.

Something isn't adding up here...

Everyone feeling safer? That's the purported point of all this, right? RIGHT?

Sure is disturbing how the President shows more empathy for Ghislaine Maxwell than an old man who collapses in front of him.
