Four guards got arrested for watching Nicholas try and hang himself. Madeline was amazing as always. One of the fiercest clients I've had the honor to represent. Really an inspiration.

Akron police shot #JaylandWalker 60 times while his back was turned. After killing him, the officers handcuffed him and say they tried to render first aid to him.
Are we expected to believe those officers wanted Jayland alive?

Stop with the Islamophobic comparisons as if things like this aren’t part of the founding of America.
Constantly downplaying Christian extremism in the U.S. is how we got here.

A 10-year-old girl is raped. The State forces her to remain pregnant and tells her to consider it an “opportunity.”
This isn’t Iran. This isn’t Gilead. This isn’t hypothetical.

While everyone is talking about the gun case, please consider Vega v. Tekoh: SCOTUS just said that if police fail to inform you of your rights, you can't sue them.
This is the death of "Miranda rights."
Ordinary people are disempowered, government impunity grows.

NEW: Uvalde doubled its spending on school security since 2017.
It hardened the school — hiring its own police force, installing fences. It created a threat reporting system & brought in social workers.
It happened anyway.

I think it is important to be detailed because to say this was a "shooting" is sanitary. Children that young were killed by a weapon that shatters. Young kids would not have identification; they may not be recognizable. There are so many of them. Authorities are figuring 1/

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way
