All of these people waving Confederate flags in Alabama (and anywhere else) are losers. Get with the times and wake up, you fucking idiots, it's the 21st century! The Confederate States of America lost the Civil War 155 years ago! If Trump is such a patriotic defender of the American flag, then why isn't he ripping into these Confederate-lovers as anti-patriotic 'sons of bitches'? Oh yeah, we know why: because he is a hypocrite and loser just like them! The Confederate fla

Once upon a time, there was a court that made decisions regarding child support some had to pay, while others receive at rates that you simply wouldn't believe some were high, while some were low but without a lawyer, how would you know? knowledge is power, so rather than be sour pick-up the phone and call me this hour

Sarah Hegazi was an activist for the LGBTQ community in her home country of Egypt, and beyond. Just this past weekend, she died by suicide in Canada, where she had been living in asylum for the past two years. In a country that is patriarchal and culturally conservative, she had the amazing courage to speak openly in favor of the LGBTQ community and show her face in the face of all opposition, which it seems was quite overwhelming, leading to depression and post-traumatic st

Dear Mr. Henkel, I saw the news article that you were caught tearing down Black Lives Matters posters at Columbus Square Park in South Philadelphia this past Sunday afternoon. And that you were captured on video saying "not to me, they don't," in response to a woman who said to you: "black lives matter." Being an attorney who goes to Philadelphia Family Court on a regular basis, I was very disappointed to see that, until being terminated as a result of this incident, you wor

Billy Penn posted an article this past Friday, which notes that filings of petitions for Protection from Abuse (PFA) in Philadelphia Family Court have dropped by about 40% during the months of the coronavirus pandemic as compared to the same time-frame last year, raising concerns that the quarantine has essentially trapped some, or perhaps many, domestic violence victims with their abusers. I strongly encourage you to read the article and to spread the word on the domestic vi

I saw this article last night on the Philadelphia Inquirer website: "Philly art museum hires big law firm as staff seeks recognition of union." The fact that the Philadelphia Museum of Art has hired Morgan Lewis in the attempt to defeat their own employees' unionization drive -- meaning that they are willing to invest many thousands of dollars to prevent their own workers' exercise of their federally-recognized right to organize -- is sad and revealing. But even worse is the

If Biden wins the popular vote (which he is very likely to do, and at a bigger margin than Clinton did in 2016), but Trump somehow wins the electoral vote, these demonstrations of the past two weeks will look like a Thanksgiving Day parade compared to what we would see on November 6, 2020. I don't say that lightly, or with any offense to the vigor and energy of the present demonstrations. It would be the masses mourning the death of democracy (and the confirmation of an olig

Why doesn't Trump respect and honor the 1st Amendment as much as he does the 2nd Amendment? Because he exploits the latter for votes, while he'd prefer the former -- or at least the parts of the former relating to speech, press, and assembly -- to go away, so he could quell and silence all opposition, in favor of lies and propaganda over truth, science, and facts.
