luanne , I was thinking of a different one, same message. It was simply a drawing of Martin with his hands up, holding the Skittles bag in one hand and (I think) his phone in the other next to a drawing of Rittenhouse smiling with his "assault type" rifle at port arms. No text. I think I saw that one as well.

luanne, "Armed milita groups have clashed with other protesters here in Albuquerque. Back in the summer of 2020, one protester was shot in Old Town. The suspected shooter, Steven Baca, was surrounded by the New Mexico Civil Guard at that protest – a group the district attorney has been trying to stop. Baca is awaiting trial." I read an article about the Bernalillo County District Attorney and his opinion on the Rittenhouse case and the impact on the trial for this shooting. I hope this guy gets convicted.

I'm not sure what we could call the republican party these days although a few names do come to mind.
This is what happens when citizens are either unaware of politics or believe the parties are all the same.
Socrates said it best. "You might not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you."

I hope they include the Medicaid for those under 135 % in the affordable act when the senate gets it for the 12 states not expanding it including Wisconsin.

I am worried about democracy. We are really in trouble if we don't pass the new voiting legislation. I hope somehow we can carve out a speaking filibuster so w have to debate

Headline from the Washington Post: Three men convicted of murder in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man who was shot in Georgia last year
Of course, we'll have to go through the appeals.

I also read the next time is to bring up the hate crime thing during sentencing and they can also face civil charges from the family.

That is correct. I was wrong when I said the hate crime would be brought into sentencing. It was that they could face federal hate crime charges.

After the Rittenhouse fiasco (of course he went to MarLago to see Trump, of course he did...), *we the people* needed this win in court badly.
