Still reviewing all the videos and documents in the Reckless Ben incident but it does seem the hour+ seizure on March 9 was lawful. Breakdown here (more to follow): https://t.co/qBabzbb1Bp

They banned this Veteran from City Hall… for holding a sign: God Bless the Homeless Vets.

So we filed suit. The city agreed to pay $17,910 for violating his rights.

And yes — that money is going straight to help homeless vets.

CALLING ALL 18-19-YEAR-OLD ADULTS IN PA:

If you want to apply for a PA license to carry a firearm for self-defense but can’t due to the state’s age-based restrictions, YOU could be a key participant in an FPC Lawsuit.

The arguments behind every landmark Supreme Court ruling have never been freely available to the public… until now.

Thanks to a gift from the Wolf Law Library at William & Mary Law School, more than 125,000 #SCOTUS records & briefs are now freely freely available on the Internet Archive, spanning 1830 through 2019. The arguments that shaped America, including Brown v. Board of Education. Loving v. Virginia.

Property manager claims the public sidewalk is "leased" private property. Cops threaten arrest on a state highway sidewalk in Sedona. First instinct? Sue the officers.

The smarter play? Bypass qualified immunity entirely with a Monell claim against the City of Sedona.

Deputy city manager + police chief decisions = municipal policy. No immunity shield for the city.

Wait. So we can own firearms, just can't buy them? Why do some courts hate the Constitution?

[Gun Owners of America @GunOwners]

By the First Circuit's logic, the right to "keep and bear" arms apparently doesn't include the right to actually get arms.

This creates a circuit split with the Tenth Circuit, which correctly applied Bruen to strike down similar waiting periods.

Our military installations have been turned into gun-free zones—leaving our service members vulnerable and exposed.

That ends today.

Texas raided the Lodge Poker Club, seized their assets, shut their doors, and put 200 people out of work — with zero charges and zero arrests.

As a Texas civil rights attorney, I broke down whether that's constitutional and what the Lodge can do to fight back.

Tyrants hate it when you fight back.

NY tried to force applicants to turn over 3 years of social media. We sued & NY caved.

Now, NY state police have to remove this garbage from their application forms. We will keep dragging them to court until every infringement is crushed.

@DougPolkVids Texas Civil rights attorney here. Before April 9th: no state forfeiture = no Younger abstention = federal court.

Two cases your lawyers need today:
Sprint v. Jacobs (2013) — federal courts have a "virtually unflagging obligation" to hear this

Timbs v. Indiana (2019) — 8th Amendment Excessive Fines Clause applies to Texas. Unanimously.

50+ identical rooms still open. No charges filed. Madison called this arbitrary in 1792. The Supreme Court gave you a filing window. Use it.

🤡Oklahoma transgender (female to male) lawyer has a meltdown in front of a judge, gets arrested for contempt while yelling "I can't breathe," and ultimately demands a female police officer be present.

Afroman did file counterclaims but judge tossed them after holding cops had immunity.

@CJGRISHAM @AlBuffalo2nite Wrong enough to overcome qualified immunity? I think her refusal to follow orders kills her case
