This is pretty much the Black History Month celebration I expected from them.
I guess we're just arresting journalists now.
I feel like I should know the answer here lol but can they do that? (I mean in the pretend world where there are laws!)
Is that all that’s happening? Same charges different court?
Like what are the actual charges?
wasn’t the case dismissed?
What was Don Lemon arrested for? I thought the church protest indictment was dismissed by magistrate and appeal court?

JUSTICE JACKSON, dissenting from denial of motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. To file a petition in this Court, litigants must pay a $300 fee, along with the (much higher) cost of printing 40 bound copies of their filing. Litigants who cannot afford the filing fee and the cost of printing can request to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court largely grants these requests, allowing those litigants to file for free, but our openness to indigent litigants has its limits. In fact, the Court sometimes imposes blanket filing bars that prohibit litigants from filing any more in forma pauperis petitions in noncriminal matters going forward, regardless of the merits of their claims.
I believe that when balancing prisoners’ access to judicial review, on the one hand, and reducing our administrative burden, on the other, we should err on the side of keeping our courthouse doors open. For a system designed to administer justice, reflexively rejecting (potentially meritorious) petitions from incarcerated litigants has a cost that is much too high when compared to the (meager) administrative efficiency gains. Nor should we forget the role that indigent incarcerated litigants have played in the development of important constitutional doctrines—and through habeas proceedings no less. See, e.g., Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U. S. 335 (1963); see also Sindram, 498 U. S., at 181 (Marshall, J., dissenting). Accordingly, I would not apply the filing bar that the Court imposes for frequent “frivolous” filers to prisoners who, like Howell, seek to proceed in forma pauperis.
Justice Jackson takes an interesting stand today. SCOTUS often waives the filing fees for indigent parties—but refuses to do so after they file multiple "frivolous" petitions. Jackson says that's unfair and dissents from the practice moving forward. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

America has tried to be a real multiracial democracy for just over 60 years and that attempt has been contested at every step along the way.

It’s actually amazing how restrained the people Minneapolis have been so far.
If i was a kid growing up right now in a place with gun culture and positive views of ICE, it would sure be hard to understand when it was and wasn’t ok to shoot another person.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court rules that there are no 4th Amendment rights in your Google search terms. When you search on Google, you tell them your search terms; the government can get those queries without a warrant. The third-party doctrine applies.
