Depends: did you think there actually was a fire? Had there been a fire earlier? Were you using "fire" as a motivator to get folks to flee some other threat like an active shooter?
The modern standard for criminalizing this sort of speech is in Brandenburg v Ohio, from 1969
It must be 1️⃣ intended to cause 2️⃣ imminent 3️⃣ lawless action, and 4️⃣ is reasonably likely to produce that action
If any of those 4 prongs are missing, it's protected expression

During this same time period, more than 20,000,000+ new jobs were added to the economy according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Here's a chart.
It's entirely possible to promote UBI without economic gibberish like your tweet.

I mean seriously, Henry Hazlitt wrote about this back in the 1960s

I'm serious. Hazlitt wrote this in 1964. And there are still aspiring Congresscritters decrying automation in 2019...

They're all terrible 😕
They were "months away" from adding it to my neighborhood for 3 years, before they announced they weren't taking any more customers and cancelling the expansion
Presumably just above or just below Spectrum née TimeWarner Cable, which is what we're forced to use 😭
We've reached that point of the year where my sinuses go into open rebellion and my body goes "oh, you like to breathe huh? F*ck you"
I go on vacation Thursday 😑😭

Ohhhhh you are in luck b/c we've been keeping a list for awhile 😂

Let me preface the list by saying there were / are a few criteria for inclusion at the time they were added:
➡️ Lawyers
➡️ Account is public
➡️ Reasonably active (though not necessarily about law)
➡️ *Generally* not an asshole

(Some of those folks have gone private or become inactive after the doxxing and harassment from Vic Mignogna supporters, so they're still on the list but may not be around as much)

What were the vote differentials in the 3 closest states in 2016?
Special thanks to @Emm_Initiative for this week's cover art!

No, but 2 of the 3 words are correct
You picked the right 2 words, but 3rd one is still wrong
New scratch post, in what will temporarily be his new room ☺️
The second introduction to Ollie went better too, they briefly booped snoots before Ollie ran away
He's back tho
Your other tweets confirm you lack the mental horsepower to understand that conversation 😉
I hate that I like her tbh 🤣 Some of her ideas are total loony tunes but I'm voting for her anyway

And regardless, I respect tf out of a politician having actual thought-out plans even if I think they're lunacy

Didn't have a chance to mention this earlier, but if any of y'all are in Charlotte NC later tonight I'll be training folks on the law about protesting next year's RNC Convention ☺️
Remember, there are two types of conservatives: anti-left, and anti-state 😉 Training people on how to more-effectively battle their Government brings me great joy
Back in the Bull City! 😬
Humbled, and grateful to Faith in Public Life (@FaithPublicLife) and the Charlotte Clergy Coalition for Justice (@CLTclergyCoal) for letting me share some legal knowledge ahead of the 2020 Republican National Convention ☺️

We live in the absolute dumbest possible timeline...
As someone who does federal criminal defense work, this map is art 🤣🤣🤣
It's wildly inaccurate. They're trying to imply these are secret federal prosecutions of whoever the QAnon ppl think Trump is going to prosecute (Democrats, child molesters, etc etc)
I do wonder how they came upon these particular numbers. Did they just make them up? Or do a periodic PACER search and multiply by 100?
There is a stray cat in front of my house...
It... appears to live in the sewer
Apparently that wasn't an exaggeration. I knelt down and it quite literally crawled into the sewer 😮
David's not wrong. Literal LOL.

Finally grabbing lunch at my favorite sports bar, and I'm sitting two seats over from a group of dudebros... who appear to be comparing MtG decks??
Bro on the end is now raving about the Detective Pikachu movie
Now they're sh*tting on the NBA, "the woke league"
"These people say Trump is a dictator, but when they have an actual dictator they don't do sh*t"
He's... not wrong

My favorite of the entire series
100% same
Agreed on both. I also remember spending a stupid amount of time dispelling the curse on the Cursed Shield
Nah. Too many Trump sycophants throughout the RNC apparatus. Even if Trump were impeached and removed – disqualified from holding federal office ever again – no way would Romney be the replacement nominee
(I say that as a former Republican who genuinely likes Romney most of the time)
My guess is Trump v Warren; I'm skeptical anything will happen to the Yapping Yam
She's on the shortlist for a SCOTUS nomination, not surprising she'd pen total applesauce of a dissent here. If something happens to RBG, Rao is who the Yapping Yam will nominate
Sad but true
Remember when legislating from the bench was a bad thing?
Due diligence. Inspection. Closing. Foundation. Paint. Regular cleaning. Floor cleaning. Landscaping. Now gutters.

Quite literally the longest span of time I've ever lived in one place. Ms. M next door is the only holdout left from back then

You underestimate my gf 😂 Being in that small apartment has limited my impulse to accumulate junk lol
Alright folks, it looks like we actually have a smidge over 24 hours so let's see what we can do here!
Long-time followers know this is Faith Bailey (w/ her sister Ashlynn). Faith is the daughter of one of my former interns, and for a few years now we've been helping her raise money in the Spring for the American Heart Association
Both Faith and Ashlynn go to Riverwood Elementary, where y'all helped us raise more than half of the *entire school's* AHA fundraising totals earlier this year
An interesting behind-the-scenes look at the Kavanaugh confirmation
Also confirms I was right about that widely-publicized attorney letter last year

(Dr. Blasey-Ford's attorney wrote a letter to Chuck Grassley that was shared with NBC News. I remarked that it read like a stall tactic. A lawyer dudebro and his podcast buddies insisted I was clueless b/c I'd "only practiced 5 years" and was in "a small city." Ofc I was right.)
This one here:
Make it make sense Mo!!
I missed this earlier @thejournalista: I agree with @LeslieMac, it'd likely be used in an Ineffective Assistance of Counsel argument on appeal. A key witness being a secret drug kingpin is the sort of thing defense attorneys are supposed to find out
I'm struck by the random switch from pounds to grams
I guess "0.3lbs of THC cartridges" just doesn't sound as impressive

Whotf is driving 9hrs round-trip for weed?? 🧐
I'm not trying to be funny. I represent weed dealers for a living. The only ones driving more than 30mins are the hustlers moving weight, and they ride cross-country to California for the designer sh*t
Out of allllllll the street pharmacists I've represented, all of -1- occasionally reups in Houston

Attorneys have challenged our alienation of affection statute (we also have "criminal conversation" which is actual sex; A of A could be anything) on First Amendment grounds before, but it was rejected. Malecek v Williams, 804 SE2d 592 (NC Ct App 2017)

The Court of Appeals said the statute was a content-neutral, narrowly-tailored restriction on speech that survived the O'Brien test, and that it didn't violate freedom of association at all b/c you can still associate w/o f*cking someone
