Just became a "Paid Subscriber" to help with the enormous requirements for the job you guys do to provide such quality reporting inside America's courtrooms. Adam Klasfeld is such a pro at "decoding" the laws and arguments that are presented in the courtrooms. Thank you.
Thanks, Adam. Keep pounding history like this for your readers, especially the younger ones who may not have learned it. And for the rest of us "grown-ups" (so called) who need refresher courses under this regime which is hell bent on making us forget everything and anything that might cause one to question authority. ..."Boxer was forgotten, except by the few who had known him" - George Orwell - "Animal Farm"
A must read! I don't know who the teacher was, but my older sister was assigned this in high school, and I'm grateful for that teacher in Mansfield, Tx, early 1970s. I was an avid reader, and first read it as an 8th grader. I read it again as an adult, and that was when I realized it should be assigned reading for all of us.
Cindy, All good. Orwell has never been more relevant! I worded my comment with it in mind that we have a younger generation who know only Trump and Trump’s anything but “normal” vision for America. Hopefully things are starting to normalize. We have to RESIST. The best way to do that is by preserving and teaching our full history. Adam, his team, and a growing number like them give me hope that we can do this. All best … Don
Another compellingly written article Adam! Thank you. I usually get through these in short time, but kept getting distracted by either the cat or the opening ceremonies. Hope you have a good weekend. Are you traveling next week?
Thanks so much! Yes, I’m going to St. Paul next week for the cases of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort and the civil rights protesters they documented. All are getting arraigned a week from today.
If the worst abuses of human rights are discussed, they should include the American Genocide. 98% of the First Nations' populations died through war, disease, starvation and homicide at the hands of willing settlers intent on occupying their lands. And then we get into water rights that are still being negotiated and renegotiated along with oil and minerals. Reparations are in order, and not only in Tulsa. A good start would be rereading the 370 to 374 ratified treaties made with Indian tribes, none of which, none, zero of which has been honored by the US government.
Thank you again Adam for your incisive analysis that asks us to look beyond the facile sound bites of MSM that support the manufactured distraction so desired by this administration. I am very grateful for your moral compass that insists on telling the whole story. 🙏
Trump’s father was a racist and a bigot. He marched with the KKK so Trump’s racism and bigotry was cultivated at a very early age. So the apple didn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to his racism and bigotry. Trump’s additional skills to attack, counterattack, and never apologize were learned early in his political career from Roy Cohn, his political mentor.
Thank you Adam. It is impossible to ignore the gravity of our situation any longer. I am sitting here horrified.
Yesterday, Jeff.Bezos drove the final nail in the coffin of one of the once most respected and prized newspapers in this country, threw it into the dustbin of history, because of money? All the while bribing this racist, misogynistic, hateful, thin skinned, physically ill and mentally deranged rapist, pedophile, insurrectionist, gangster, demented toddler dictator, an escapee from a lunatic asylum who should be in a straight jacket and shot full of thorazine, all to curry his favor by paying for a $100 million hagiography of his immigrant Eastern European "model" wife, who came here on an "Epstein" visa, so he can cash in even more for a life of gov't contracts, no taxes, no rules, no laws where he and his other oligarch tech bros think they owe nothing to this country that gave them wealth and power beyond anything seen in history before. Democracy died not in the darkness, but in the bright light of day. We are hanging on by a thread. No one is coming to help us.
"When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag carrying a cross" Unless we are billionaire oligarchs, or white supremecist MAGA evangelical Nazi cult members, We the people have had it and are seething. History being erased. We can never remove the very shameful past of our country. Slavery. Suffering. Mr. Big Shot who gloated to Europe "if it wasn't for us, you'd all be speaking German", as his inept and unqualified Fox-weekend anchor Secy of War deleted a picture of the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima. Did he think it was flying gay bar? It was.the name of the pilot Paul Tibbet's mother!!! Dangerous, villaige-idiot level buffoons running this country. Yeah, we're the hottest country all right. Because you set us on fire 🔥 People being terrorized and shot in the streets by cold-blooded murderers of a Nazi militia in America in 2026 because of the color of their skin or where they came from.. My grandparents already lived this story way over 100 years ago when they lived in the Tsarist Russian Empire of pograms and hatred and fear. They would die all over again if they saw what happened to this country that took them in that they loved. .There will be more violence to come, if not a civil war. All because people couldn't be bothered to vote, or just could not vote for a smart, black woman with a Jewish husband, who stressed at every chance that we were the UNITED States of America and "All are welcome".and " we're not going back". She predicted it. HE promised " my beautiful Christians. Just vote for me this one time and I promise you'll never have to vote again. Everything will be "fixed". The thing about him is, he actually told the truth. Dictator on day one " ha ha" like he was Don Rickles Then he promised everything to everybody else and within 5 days of his inauguration blew up our country and the entire world order. Frankly, the disrespect, hatred and racism shown by a current "president/fuhrer/dictator/monster" towards one of our most respected and admired scandel-free former presidents in my almost 70 years because of the color of his skin, is sickening. He is being eaten alive by jealousy knowing he (and his wife) will.never have the respect of the people of this nation that Barack.and Michelle Obama.had and continue to have. I thought the killing.of Renee Good and.Alex Pretti were the inflection point. Well today he even bested himself. What's tomorrow? War with Iran? To deflect from the Epstein files. They say dead men tell no tales, except Donnie can't seem to shut this one up.
The time for euphemisms is over. If the "Gray Lady" wants to maintain whatever reputation she still has, as the final newspaper of our country read around the world, they need to be honest, speak clearly and concisely and report the truth. Call him out for every lie, every single.day. Spell the word. My little nephew can even manage 4 letters. LIAR. See how.easy? He is unfit to hold this office, as is his vice-president who is equally as monstrous, unfit and dangerous, including his cabinet...a cabal of criminals. And Stephen "Goebbels" Miller. The fix is in. This man had no intention of leaving last time, and at the first glint of gold in the oval bordello I knew he had no intention of leaving this time. If the Dems cave and he finds a way to.cancel or steal the midterms, we are done. NYTimes, if you don't pull through, you can change the font on your masthead to Cyrillic.

Love this reminder of the roots of the Big Lie. Nothing exudes white inferiority like Trump, Stone, Bannon, Giuliani…..
So important to go back in time as you have done to let younger people and others know this history. thank you

This farce so out in the open, of a very sick president, needs to end. Not only for his good but mainly for the good of all.
Racism destabilizes. Will it be racism that leads to the demise of our beloved democracy?
