Organizational filibustering refers to strategies that delay and obstruct efforts to pursue social justice in systems. These additions can stretch out the process of implementation of diversity strategic plans or multicultural programs for years. Change agents can become battle-fatigued and give up their efforts. They can also become so disheartened that they leave a group or organization altogether.
It's my responsibility to protect them, and so I've been patrolling the city streets following armed, masked thugs trying to kidnap my neighbors. On July 10, Caravello was present at the site, and, according to witnesses, he was arrested directly after he attempted to dislodge a tear gas canister from underneath a protester's wheelchair.
Sommers was arrested Thursday in Pittsfield, where authorities say he had been living under the victim's identity at Soldier On, a facility that provides transitional housing for military veterans. According to charging documents, Sommers allegedly began impersonating a real U.S. Army veteran as early as 1994. That veteran served honorably in the Army from 1979 to 1982.
Why hack the DHS? I can think of a couple Pretti Good reasons! I'm releasing this because the DHS is killing us and people deserve to know which companies support them and what they're working on.
In the latest episode of IPWatchdog Unleashed, I had the opportunity to sit down with Ted Wood-a unique figure whose career spans military service, engineering and patent law. After spending time both in-house and at Am Law 100 firms, today Ted is Managing Partner of Wood IP. Our conversation, which took place August 8, was not only interesting and fun but a testament to the diverse pathways one can take to success, both in life and, specifically, in the engineering and patent law fields.
Today every senator, every single one, will pick a side: Do you stand with the American people who are exhausted of forever wars in the Middle East? Or stand with Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth as they bumble us headfirst into another war?
A student-led coalition has gathered more than 2,600 signatures from law students, legal academics, and law student organizations across 109 law schools calling on Congress to pass the Federal Officer Accountability Act. As the Department of Homeland Security disappears suspected migrants without due process, arbitrarily harasses citizens, and point blank kills innocent people on camera, a shocked public has learned what lawyers have talked about for years: the government has stacked the immunity deck to functionally shield law enforcement from accountability.
Though the 83-year-old (who will turn 84 in two weeks) is rarely spotted in the Capitol these days, his vocal opposition to President Donald Trump on a myriad of issues is louder and more present than ever when deemed useful for the motivated liberal press. For instance, McConnell was quoted far and wide last month after he criticized Trump's desire to acquire Greenland, a move the Kentuckian suggested would "incinerate" the threadbare alliance that remains between the United States and NATO.
The legislators released a video in November as US forces carried out air strikes on vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific, and as US President Donald Trump ordered the National Guard to deploy to major US cities to crack down on undocumented migrants and crime. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens, the lawmakers said in the video. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or Constitution, they said.
Potylo said federal agents in Minneapolis targeted him after the Portland arrest, calling the situation surreal. These guys are out to send a message, and yeah, if you get under their skin, they will target you. And you know what? Who gives a sh? I am representing marginalized people that don't have a fing voice in this country, man, he said. I do it for them.
The disastrous second year of Tr*mp's disastrous second term began with an unholy tide of ICE agents terrorizing the streets of Minneapolis, thanks to aggressive recruitment campaigns that promised loan forgiveness, huge bonuses, and steady paychecks. But surprise! According to more than a few disgruntled New Reich employees, that ain't happening. What a shock! Last week, NowThis Impact reported that a wave of ICE agents are realizing their mistake in record time.
Lawmakers described routine death threats, armed protesters in galleries, and explicit fears for spouses and children. Several said the June 2025 assassination of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband fundamentally changed how they assess the risks of staying in office. Case in point: Connecticut State Rep. Corey Paris, 34, reported death threats and calls for violence against him and his family last year after he posted on social media encouraging people to share information on ICE activity.
