The pigs that run our nation now understand this: Without Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press none of the other “freedoms” matter because when you’re ruled - not governed - in secret you can’t do anything about it. No one is coming to save you. To save us. It’s YOU. And then, it’s US.

Children should not be killed. 20,000 children should not be killed. None of your justifications or excuses are or will ever be good enough. “The enemy is using them as targets”? They aren’t using 20,000 of them. And if they were you need to find another way. Or you’re fighting for nothing.

Louisville will be the last major city in the U.S. to have never had a woman or a person who isn’t white as mayor. Nearly 200 years after our first mayor we still have a murderous police force, ICE jailing innocent people, crumbling schools, and a city run by private developers.

Armelle Bondonga and Aminata Seck remain jailed for committing no crime. However you define yourself on the political spectrum, this should be monstrous and terrifying to an American. If you “don’t care to think about politics” then you a part of the problem. #FreeArmelle #FreeAminata

A good night with Rus Funk at All People’s with a caring crowd and these community leaders Sadiqa Reynolds Hannah Drake Josh Miller signing and talking about the We The People anthology project. The time is now.

Both asteroids are from the Corrupt And Greedy Politicians Who Would Rather Have Rich Friends Than Save Us All asteroid belt. For the Louisville Courier Journal

The smoke lingers. #911

All of the sudden this is right around the corner. Join me, Hannah, Josh and Sadiqa for this important conversation about our nation. 7pm Monday evening.

Filming a quick promo for Louisville Bar Association Solo & Small Firm Networking event on October 7. Brandeis School of Law students and practitioners put it on your calendars! This meetup never disappoints.

Ai is many things and among them is theft. Theft from artists and other creators. Theft of work and livelihoods. Theft from the planet. Theft, as we are learning, from our students’ development. My letter on behalf of the AAEC to The Baltimore Sun.

An innocent young woman, mother, and neighbor of yours was abducted by #iCE weeks ago contrary to the Constitution and everything else this nation should stand for. #ArmelleBondonga is still in jail. Every minute she is behind bars is an insult to right-thinking people.

In a functioning democracy, with a capable opposition party, a United States Senator would not have the privilege or the ability to disappear without a responsible explanation. The worst thing is, nearly everyone thinks it’s ok. “OK” is how we got here, with everything.

He’s always been a very, very small man. #Bevin

The 3 1/2 miles that connect our law school with Louisville’s courthouse keeps shrinking. This Program will bring select students even closer to those courts and trials and litigation all over the country. And - check out these mentors. #AllStars

Two questions: 1. Are you ready for some football? 2. What are we doing?

I’ll stay in the US until I die to fight for it. I’m not afraid of Fascists, or MAGATs, or their private police, or their cowardly politicians and oligarchs. But are we going to have to resist from secure sites in Canada just so we can eat food? #FDA #RFK #recalls

There’s a special place in Hell for GOP legislatures esPECIally in Appalachia who kneecapped everything she wanted to do and all of the people for whom she cared who now performatively “mourn her death and praise her works”. At least there’s a zero chance they’ll run into her in their afterlives.

Always in tune. #dolly #dollyparton

There’s enough money. There is enough food. There is enough room. But instead the most powerful people in the world choose to slaughter and starve children.

Doughnut hamburgers and livestock shows are great and all but have you ever tried living in a city that is complicit in unlawful abductions of innocent people? THAT’S the American Experience man. #armellebondonga

Our anthology is now available at Carmichael’s. Get up, stand up, don’t give up our fight. m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Come see us on September 14. Hannah Drake Josh Miller Sadiqa Reynolds and I will discuss the We The People Anthology with Rus Funk at All People’s on Brownsboro Road. All are invited. We can save this country. But you gotta’ show up. See you there.

We are all in there. Pawns. Garbage to him, and his people. Bait. Indentured labor to create their wealth. Fooled into fighting amongst ourselves over scraps when we should be fighting them. The Louisville Courier Journal political art.

The City of Louisville is fully on board with #ICE now. It’s a slippery slope with dead bodies, suffering families, and broken promises at the bottom.

“Marc” my legal mentor said on the speakerphone “grab yer Yella Pad and a pen and come on down. We’ve got work to do”. One of our greatest trial lawyers Frank Haddad, Jr. awaited me in his office. It was 1982. 44 years on these Yella Pads await our 1Ls for their first class on Monday morning.

Eons ago dinosaurs died for our oil. Now it’s schoolchildren. Their blood is the red in our flag’s stripes.

My guy Louie The Cardinal and I were discussing my other Louie - Brandeis- and agreed that the new 1Ls are already looking pretty good. L’s Up people - class begins at 8:30am on Monday. If you’re 5 minutes early you’re late. See you there.

It’s one thing for the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of mankind to not make progress. It’s another thing when it regresses. The once greatest nation on earth that could do anything it chose to do . . . is still doing what it chooses to without regard to its people or the planet.
