Read this the day it was released. It's the first book I've read by @premeemohamed.com and now I'm curious about the rest of her catalog. Definitely looking forward to a sequel! Steampunk Cold War Le Carré meets Disco Elysium. Basically it's got something for everyone.

I’m a lawyer. I couldn’t be one if I didn’t love this country. Not it’s people, fuck the people. The people wouldn’t know what was good for them if it hit them on the head. People, by and large, are awful citizens. But individuals are great. And 250 years ago a smart bunch went to Philly.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

"I'm proud to be here to represent Team USA, and to represent our country. But we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been for everybody. This stuff is happening right, right around where we live"

"I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution," Ruohonen continued, "and it allows us to (have) freedom of press, freedom of speech, protects us from unreasonable searches and seizures, and makes it that we have to have probable cause to be pulled over. And what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of grey. It's clear."

"I really love what's been happening there now with people coming out, showing the love, the compassion, integrity and respect for others that they don't know, and helping them out," Ruohonen said. "And we love Minnesota for that.

"And I want to make it clear that we are out here, we love our country. We're playing for the U.S. We're playing for Team USA. And we're playing for each other, and we're playing for our family and our friends that sacrificed so much to be here today. And that doesn't change anything.

"Because what the Olympics means is excellence, respect, friendship, and we all, I think, exemplify that. And we are playing for the people of Minnesota and the people around the country who share those same values. That compassion, that love and that respect."

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect. So profoundly reluctantly. But, good lord have they earned it.

One of my many frustrations with law school is that "remedies" is an optional class and not an integral part of every single class. One of the most important jobs for lawyers is to say "yes, this violates the law. Now what are the steps we can take to do something about that?"

One of the hardest things to accept when governments ramp up oppression is how many people are complicit and how many more are cowards. But a lot of cowards can be turned back from their worst selves over time through anti-authoritarian momentum and social pressure.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
