This is the most Olympic Opening Ceremony Super Bowl halftime show ever (deeply complimentary).

The inspiring commercials are generally the better ones.

Someone should look into that.

Query: why are all "split-second actions" they take violent and wrong?

Emphasizing that ICE had the funding and ability to do this all along.

The Conroe (Texas) Independent School District has a written policy that prohibits the District from instructing any students that make "unpatriotic or anti-American sentiments." policyconnect.org/policy/conro...

On January 31, a federal judge ordered a 5-year-old released from a jail. There are some people who are more upset about what he said in the order than about the fact that there was a 5-year-old in a jail. Those people should be forever ostracized.

Hey, judges? Judges everywhere? THIS is what you're supposed to be doing. LEARN storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This paragraph, in a majority opinion of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, attacking another judge's dissent, is quite remarkable.

For all who are interested, this morning the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that a Cattle Ranger who acts outside the scope of his limited law enforcement powers does not commit the offense of impersonation of a public servant.

Not only is this bad management and counterproductive, it's all for show: The agency has known for MANY years that the overwhelming amount of contraband is brought into prison by guards. They can't fire them all, bc they're so understaffed they then cdnt run the units, so we get this garbage policy.

"We're going to make sure your neighbors know you're heroes"

Why let him retire? Lock him in a cell. That's where he belongs.

This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.

Pretti stepped up for a woman who’d been assaulted. He exercised his rights in the face of actual tyranny, not from a podcast booth. He seemed moral and decent. His valor reminds pus stains like Patel, Berry, & Watters that their macho shtick is sad and hollow. *Of course* they celebrate his murder.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

1. Abolish DHS 2. Repeal the USA PATRIOT Act 3. End domestic surveillance 4. Impeach Pam Bondi, Todd Blache, Greg Bovino 5. Prosecute ICE members that injured or killed people 6. Release everyone imprisoned by ICE immediately 7. Repatriate or return anyone deported under ICE

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

What do you call a group of masked men who attack and murder an unarmed man? Cowards. Thugs. Criminals. Murderers. Evil.

Calling for all ICE and DHS agents to be tried and jailed for their crimes is the moderate position and may we all pray that accountability for them can still be had under the law.

Republicans: If you support this, then don't ever again claim to be "pro life"

There should be no police force that looks anything like this domestically.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

Democrats should be introducing articles of impeachment every single day and doing everything in their power to stop all congressional action to force votes. Even if they lose. Because at least they can say "we tried our best to rein in the dangerous lunatic" Instead we get "eggs are expensive"

The divide hasn't been this clear since 1776

If you only do civil work for people who can email and call you, don’t be quick to judge lawyers who might actually be trying to help people wrongfully incarcerated by hostile officials represented by dishonest & unethical government lawyers (as is the case with Maduro and the DHS kidnap victims).

After the argument, the court requested supplemental briefing. I filed mine yesterday—five days early. This is how I concluded:

The difference between law and reality Court of Appeals, in an opinion: The complaining witness is not a "party" because she has no control over the prosecution. Prosecutor, during docket: I can't dismiss this case without the complaining witness's permission.

The funniest thing about shoes like this is that if you're looking for all-day comfort, a well-made pair of boots is far better.

TFW you've drafted a 3-page string cite introduced by "see, also, for good measure..." and then the court publishes an opinion saying the same thing #appellatesky

Don't give them any ideas

The answer key says "50," but my kiddo is right.

I wish I had thought of this

Wait until he learns about the font called "Equity"

Obviously, I argued that the answer is "no." The Harris County District Attorney's Office argued that such a comment is perfectly fine, so here we are.

Today it was my honor to present oral argument in the 14th Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas, on behalf of my client. The issue is whether a trial judge in a criminal case can tell the jury that "beyond a reasonable doubt" can be as low as "60 percent."

The only issue I take with this is that when an assistant district attorney from the Collin County District Attorney's Office misstates the holding of a case in a brief, he should not be credited with "metacognitive reasoning" when the fact of the matter is he's just a pathological liar.
