This is a good Fourth Circuit opinion, and a worthwhile read. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

People keep saying Senator Booker's filibuster was meaningless and people who were moved by it are naive and gullible but I lived and organized in a south where this record stood and slavery and Jim Crow cast a long shadow and I tell you Booker taking that record means something.
In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

Are you listening? It’s the least you can do.
Powerful, substantive, passionate. A clarion call to stand.

One thing that is absolutely unfathomable to me is the people who will treat you like shit then accuse you of being “rude” when you react. Fuck yes I am RUDE. To toxic men, to fascists, to capitulating cowards. Politeness has nothing to do with morality. Being nice is out.

I’ve explained until I’m blue in the face why this is the most destructive SCOTUS decision in many years, even counting the overturn of Roe, but watching non-lawyers realizing why is wild. People are talking about the US becoming a monarchy but actually it is veering strongly toward kritocracy.

This is literal years in the making. I quit after some horrifically misleading pieces about COVID and their like fifth major anti-trans op-ed. NYT is garbage.
I’ve been skeptical about the idea that there is an actual rightward turn underway at the NYT, and assumed their recent baffling editorial decisions were a result of the usual tepid liberal both sides-ism. Today I’m canceling my subscription.

What if you talked to yourself the same way you spoke to your pets? All the love, all the compliments, all the patience, all the curiosity? What of you criticized yourself as rarely as you criticized them?

Really, tell me what you think would happen? How would your relationship to yourself change?

Some lawyers would argue that you should get started BEFORE the $83.3 million verdict and possibly even before trial.
