It's a significant win for the 113 in the mass arrest by San Francisco police, letting them join a class-action lawsuit against the city.

For the second time in recent days, Pirro's office has failed in high profile efforts to secure felony assault indictments from a federal Grand Jury in DC. This time the GJ rejected outrageous felony assault charges against the man accused of throwing a sandwich. (1/3)

Trump's just-issued Executive Order directing the DoD to create a specialized National Guard unit as an occupying force in D.C. deputized to carry out law enforcement is not about "public safety." This is the march to militarize America's cities, destroying and subverting democracy.
