George Takei 
🏳️🌈🖖🏽To those who have achieved great success, I wish for you this: that you acquire wisdom in such measure as to temper self importance, that you find humility and gratitude in the blessings bestowed, and above all that you give back to the world far more than you have taken from it.

Judge Tim Kelly rejects several bids to throw out the indictment against Proud Boy leaders.
There should be a more interesting one soon on whether the govt can argue that Proud Boys riled up the "normies," as a weapon.

The Jan. 6th Committee will be making criminal referrals! Yes, that’s plural. Besides the orange one, who else might be in the barrel with him?
Qasim Rashid, Esq.OTD in 1865, the United States adopted the 13th amendment & nearly abolished slavery. Yes, nearly. The 13th Amendment left open slavery and indentured servitude as punishment for a crime. They don’t teach us this in school, but America never fully abolished slavery. That’s truly horrifying.
Congress must abolish unpaid prison labor & truly abolish slavery and indentured servitude in America. We must uphold justice as the supreme standard in all manners. That is how we form a more perfect Union.
Robert ReichA Warnock victory in Georgia could prove an even bigger Democratic win. That's because the biggest loser won’t be Republican Herschel Walker. It will be Donald Trump. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-significance-of-todays-runoff

On Dec 2, 1859, Abolitionist John Brown was the first American ever executed for treason. The second ever executed for treason was Aaron Dwight Stevens (March 15, 1831 – March 16, 1860).
Their crimes? Attempting to free the enslaved. The first Americans executed for treason was for the crime of freeing the enslaved.
Legality is not always a measure of justice & morality, but a measure of power. This was only two life spans ago.
May we learn from these atrocities & uphold justice forever.
