Georgetown Law Professors complain about Black Students on Zoom Sandra Sellers David Batson

We haven’t gotten past the angst-ridden discourse of privilege and buoyancy even in law schools. Then again E.

SC-Sen: Watch Fox News Cut Off Lindsey Graham (R) In The Middle Of Begging For Money

Assuming some violence will occur in election week, plan to keep calm and remain aware

Assuming that there will be some violent provocations, we should encourage all deescalation efforts for election week, regardless of the vote outcomes.
