This started off as a comment to WindDancer13’s Odds and Ends, but got too long and I really want to see what is next. Not sure this merits a separate essay, but exposure to enhance feedback on the usual next move may be helpful.
James Dixon has rejected a plea offer of 12 years in prison if he pleads guilty. Now he will face up to 25 years behind bars if convicted of beating Islan Nettles to death on a trial that starts today.
Dixon came forward after police at first had detained Paris Wilson on a charge of assault. Dixon had fled the scene of the assault on Nettles, which was right outside a police precinct in Harlem.
Dixon admitted killing Nettles in a 2013 interview with police.
Today is the 48th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s death. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.

News from El Paso, Texas: Don MacGregor Killed While Reporting from Mexico
Tomorrow is a yuuuge day for the Sanders’ campaign. Currently, it looks like he will win this primary (according to polls and positive feedback from other sources other than big media); please keep your fingers crossed and positive thoughts. This win is critical to keep the big MO going and to help us fight the good fight against the establishment. Moreover, this victory will give our campaign 2 weeks in preparation for a major campaign milestone- winning New York.
Early morning, April Forth
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last! They took your life,
They could not take your pride!
In the name of love, one man in the name of love.
RIP, Rev. King

A strong man passed away on Sunday. A defensive warrior, a scholar, a leader, a patriot, a veteran, a preserver of The Long Memory - the unbroken chain of the spiritual ancestors of progressives everywhere. More below.
I hear you Responsible Gun Owner.
I get it. You want to carry your gun around. You feel that you're responsible enough to have it close at hand and that nothing should dissuade you from your task.
That's fine. But here's the thing. I have this little issue with you carrying it around loaded.
This entire campaign has got to be some kind of hallucination.
2000 people outside CNN in Hollywood, protesting the free media Trump has received by the network, compared to Bernie. That's not news. Did that even happen? Did that tree even fall in that forest? Maybe we need to make a louder noise.
I am BACK! With the LTEs! And some awesome new graphics by LoneStarMike - and I am NOT LoneStarMike, or LieparDestin, or Don Midwest, or Jalus. I'm just crossposting things that got posted in the comments section over at GOS. (I will be posting the ones I missed later today and tomorrow in separate posts.)
Now that that's out of the way, I now start you off with important voting information for the Wisconsin primary tomorrow, care of Jalus!
Enjoy!
