DC “law prohibits anyone from carrying a firearm within 1,000 feet of any First Amendment activity. Under federal law, it is illegal to possess firearms on the @USCapitol grounds & on National Park Service areas”— @MayorBowser

No guns on the Mall, folks.

#WellRegulatedMilitia
Well-informed concerns about far-right militias bearing arms, shifting a peaceful protest or march into something darker, the Mayor of DC is asking us to stay away from downtown because of concerns about public safety. I hope she’s prepared to deploy @NationalGuard & hold a line.
Here are the zones for expected “First Amendment Activity” this week in DC.

There may be clashes with Second Amendment activity, with implications for 1st, 4th, & 5th Amendment rights, but not 12th.

(TBD if Members of Congress engage in activity relevant to the 14th Amendment.)

Strap in for some crazy #Texas #history:
"The time they lynched Santa Claus for robbing a bank."

Let me set a scene:
1927: Texas Banker's Assn. responds to rash of bank robberies (3-4/day) by offering $5K reward for shooting a bank robber in the act.
Group of 4 criminals plan December 1927 heist of Cisco, TX bank:
1. Robert Hill
2. Harry Helms
3. Marshall Ratliff
4. Louis Davis
Ratliff was veteran bank robber, Helms and Hill he knew from Huntsville prison.
Davis was a cousin of Helms brought in because safe cracker got flu.
Ratliff borrows a Santa Claus suit from boarding house, dropped off blocks away, followed by children as decoy for entry of the 4 men through alley entrance of bank.
