Update on Bar:PM where a St. Louis police SUV slammed into our clients 'bar. Then officers handcuffed the owners, beat one up & charged him. Here's video of initial interaction that shows police had no basis to cuff James & escalated this whole thing (Please RT for visibility) Let's break this down. Off. Ramelle Wallace pulls out cuffs within TWENTY TWO SECONDS of talking to James. And James was breaking no laws. The Supreme Court ruled in Cohen v. California (1971) and Lewis v. New Orleans (1974) that you can yell at cops & even tell them to fuck off

Thread on new Immigration detention Executive Order. THIS. WAS. ALL. A. TRAP.

Toward the end of the Bush administration, there was a huge controversy regarding the detention of young immigrant children with their families. The visuals of 3 year olds walking around in orange jumpsuits was shocking. 2/x
