Secret Police.
Folks, if you have trouble with federal secret police manhandling protestors, demonstrators and dissidents, maybe Socialism just isn’t for you. Stick to the old bourgeois system.

Practicing law? It's never about you, Jack.
From a comment--the kind of comment we've been making here since 2005--I made on ATL Surrogate this morning about advice to new associate lawyers:
Practicing law is never about you.
Learn how to be good lawyer on those sporadic and few but inevitable days when the worse possible things are happening to you personally and/or professionally or around you. I.e., Your car breaks down on the middle of the 14th Street Bridge one morning. You are sick. A child or parent is sick. Your wife just left you. Someone close to you dies. You just received some bad news about a certain case.
A client--any client--will still come first. You really don't get to have a bad day.

The New “Liberals.”
Not one of my political views, cultural values or causes have changed since 1974. But I’m now called a Racist at least weekly. I’ve not met a single liberal Dem in DC since I got back here in 2015. Not one. The new Left and its new “liberalism” is intolerant, poorly-educated, small-minded, prissy and illiberal. They are not liberals. They are not even close.

The Truth.
#SpeechAndExpression
Use it or lose it.
You’ve Nothing without it.
Zilch. Zero. Nada. Nothing.
Good Speech. Bad Speech. Mean Speech. Loving Speech.
It’s Everything.
Everything.

Ocean
“Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, I play for me and play a whole lot more...
Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way?”
-~ R. Plant/J. Page, 1973
