This is on us. Americans are all still shopping, brunching, indulging, vacationing. Still not mass boycotting, daily protesting, general striking. then pissed off dems won't act with the zero power we did not give them. Grind all but critical small biz spending to a halt then we gripe

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

Copaganda is so insidious that a bunch of people hear "unindicted co-conspirator" and think "mustache twirling supervillain."
Folks, any prosecutor with more than an hour's worth of experience can get a grand jury to issue a true bill. Grand juries hear only the evidence the prosecution presents.

There's a reason we lawyers that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. If a guy isn't even indicted, do you know what that makes him?
INNOCENT.
With very few exceptions, there is generally only one reason that a prosecutor is unable to obtain an indictment against someone:
They don't want to.

they really went national full court press to beat Mamdani and they got what they wanted - Republicans showed up, held their noses and voted for Cuomo, the anti-Mamdani coalition worked
they still lost by 9

while the story in Virginia and New Jersey was heavily one of relative turnout, with far more votes than usual coming from liberal areas, this was not the case in New York
Republicans showed up in pretty clearly greater numbers than Democrats, motivated to beat Mamdani
but they didn't

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Reading about the 'sandwich assault' and thinking how Soupy Sales was called as witness to testify in a sailor's court martial that pies were harmless.
The 'pie attack' was, much like the sandwich incident, about defiance of authority, not injury.
Disrespect of Cop is the real charge, not assault.

I don't drink coffee so not crossing this picket line won't be difficult for me, but the rest of you should probably be prepared to caffeinate in an alternate fashion
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Loevy plays a video of a woman's arrest. Hewson says the woman was "assaultive" because she kicked a can of tear gas that had been deployed.
Loevy: "When you tear gas somebody … and they try to kick the tear gas canister away from them, that's assaulting?"
Hewson: "Yes."

the last few months have brought new heights of “cops lie all the time” and yet this case has still managed to elevate the form
Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

Says assault requires a “reasonable fear of immediate bodily harm,” and none exists given agent’s long-sleeve shirt, long pants, boots, gloves and ballistic vest that is created to “keep you safe from military rifle fire” and so is “definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich.”
