Judge Sullivan’s order requires USPS, among other things, to disseminate a memo *tomorrow morning* rescinding the Trump admin’s July restrictions on overtime and to hand out lists of state-specific ballot receipt deadlines by *Thursday morning*
so eating and being served at a restaurant in a tent is okay, but living in one because you have nowhere else to go is not. taking up public space is okay, but only as a consumer.
A demagogue can win an election & become president. He can hold the base. But if checked and constrained by Republican elected officials and business and opinion leaders, the damage he can do is limited. The capitulation of GOP and conservative elites is the story of these years.

civil rights lawsuits are crucial to expose police misconduct. but to really #HoldThemAccountable the settlement/verdict $$ must come out of police dept budgets and officers’ paychecks. without that, departments (& officers) don’t face any consequence. *we* pay the price.
Our "justice" system protects cops from prosecution! That's why civil settlements are important: They use $$$ to punish police depts. Individual cops may skirt accountability but we're forcing leaders to acknowledge wrongdoing, enact reforms and pay a price for police brutality!
ICE threatens to not allow Members in if we insist on our phones. Looks like we need to write this into an apropps bill. Members of Congress should be able to take in our phones. Others in the facility have their phones but not us? What’s there to hide?
