"Years ago, I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free”

“Protect and serve” hasn’t meant a fucking thing since well before Castle Rock v. Gonzales, but having SCOTUS explicitly tell cops there would never be consequences for their failures in 2005 certainly didn’t help.

If a professor tells you "I understand this isn't your only class," they're absolutely about to make you do an amount of work entirely disproportionate to the hours/importance of the class. Every time.
