A city is a state actor for Fourteenth Amendment purposes. The Supreme Court has applied the Fourteenth Amendment to municipal action since at least Yick Wo, and municipalities can be sued under §1983 for constitutional violations caused by

If a city chooses to operate a water system, that’s still subject to the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment constrains state and local government action. And the Preamble's "general Welfare" is relevant interpreti

Wild. Never expected this. Guess it wasn’t Suge, which is the biggest surprise. I wonder if they’ll find Biggie’s killer next.

The speed of the surge + people feeling strongly enough about it that they destroy the cameras + events like the grand jury that refused the indictment. I usually just see this kind of vitriol remain online. That it’s crossed into the real

The industry needs messengers that can put out a positive vision that also aren’t creepy or skeezy seeming dudes. I don’t think Zuck’s WSJ manifesto convinced anyone, plus he’s a terrible messenger.
