Politico offers five takeaways from today's NY redistricting decision. I'd offer a sixth: Lawyers matter.

Did you know that movie studios colluded with the MOB to crush the labor movement? My video on the history of labor 💪 in Hollywood 🎬 got punished by the algorithm for whatever reason, but I hope you still watch it! More than any other video I've ever worked on, I think this one totally changed my perception of the history of labor, business, and politics in the US.

Retail theft went down and the national retailers federation had to admit 5% not 50% of theft was from criminal gangs. This whole panic was concocted to close underperforming and unionized stores and the media bought it. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/08/business/organized-shoplifting-retail-crime-theft-retraction.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Ek0.cMux.iabRLNkE-vqu&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
As an officer of the court, you take an oath to uphold and support the Constitution of the United States.
Which means I'll be standing directly between any military force deployed under the Insurrection Act and the rest of the civilian population: Politically, legally, and physically.
If a Trump administration intends to install a dictatorship, they will have to kill me, because I intend to resist no matter the cost.
And I think there are many others that would as well, even if scared.

The wife baked up a batch of her favorite cookies last night. Little chocolate ones with mint kisses on top. 😋
Apparently, she spent a long night hearing them, calling out to her. Because #today , she sat down and ate EVERY SINGLE ONE for "breakfast" this morning. 😑
Yeah, that's right. Didn't save a single one for ME. 😕 AUGH 😱

I hate to ask specifically, but if any Law Dork readers from West Virginia would consider getting a paid subscription, you’d fill out the map — and help me reach my final goal for the year: a paid subscriber in every state and DC. 🙏 https://www.lawdork.com/
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
